Friday 1st May – Year 5

Bienvenido a Mayo!  Welcome to May!

English

Let’s do the next section of our non-chronological text.  Find out some facts about clothing in Ancient Greece.  Then write your section.

Remember you need a title,  maybe subtitles,  possible a diagram or picture, rhetorical questions.  Challenge-  can you include a glossary?

The aim is to have a full non-chronological page written by the end of next week.

So you can start putting your introduction, the paragraph from Tuesday and today onto paper.

You don’t need to send me a picture of the whole page yet- but you can do if you want some help with it or some feedback.

Today you can just type your paragraph onto the blog if you prefer,  just remember next week I will want to see the whole page.

Here is the email again, in case you do want to email me anything

    In ancient Greece, The most popular materials were wool and linen. In the later era of Ancient Greece, the wealthy people started wearing cotton and silk. Ancient Greeks wore leather sandals but most of the time they went out barefoot. Most of the clothing was white but sometimes they died the clothes using plants and insects.

      I love the use of your time conjunctions especially later era. I think you might need a comma before you use ‘but’ in sentences 3 and 4. and do you need a capital for the in the first sentence? I think you might have added the time conjunction afterwards and forgot to change the t.
      Well researched, and your tone is perfect for a non-chronological text!

    A lot of the time ancient Greeks were barefoot ,mostly at home its rare they didn’t wear shoes outside. When wearing footwear the most popular was them wearing leather sandals, wealthy Greeks wore more precious and expensive jewellery , made from gold and silver .they wore rings necklaces and earrings .

      Great researching Evie. Well done for starting with a time adverbial. Have another read of sentence 1, it doesn’t quite flow. I think there needs to be a couple more commas (when wearing footwear is a clause) and at least 1 more capital in your writing.

    Clothing
    The Ancient Greeks wore woollen fabric. It was hot almost all year so they wore loose light clothing. Rich people wore tunics that were brightly coloured and poor people had to wear all white. They wore leather sandals or boots on their feet. Ladies had to wear their tunics down to their ankles. They also wore their hair in plaits that were wrapped around their heads. Women liked to wear headbands made of metal or ribbon.

      Great non-chronological text Lydia. Good use of the word tunic. You’ve got a few clauses in there, do you think some commas might help your audience to read the text clearly?

    Men’s clothing was even simpler than woman’s. The most important piece of the clothing was a shorter version of the chiton (means shield),which was belted at the waist . At home people went without shoes,
    but in the streets or when travelling people wore leather sandals.

      Wow, great use of the word chiton (with brackets to explain it) and adverbials of place- at home, in the streets. Do you think you can add an introduction sentence to explain what you’re writing about? Or maybe a subtitle as a question?

      Declan, I’m not sure you’ve got this correct. Did you watch the video?
      If we work out the missing sides of the first shape, the 2 horizontal sides are 8 and 7, and are parallel to the top, so the top is the same as them added together- 15
      And the 2 vertical sides (4 and 10) are parallel to the right hand side, so that is 14.
      If we add all those together – 15 + 14 + 8 + 10 + 7 + 4 = 58.
      See if you can have another go at the other 2.

    Clothing in Ancient Greece consisted of lengths of rectangular or wool fabric. The Greeks wore light clothing as the climate was hot for most of the year There garment usually consisted of two main parts of a tunic -either a peplos or a chiton-and a cloak -himation-. … it was made of wool and had clasps at shoulders.

    Hi Mrs Leeming
    This is my English work.

    In ancient Greece the women would wear peplos. It was a large square piece of cloth. The chinton was a large piece of cloth. It was worn by men and women. At home the Greeks wouldn’t wear any shoes. Outside they would wear leather sandals.

      Well done Jaynelle, instead of starting a new sentence for It was worn by men and women, could you use a relative clause and a comma.
      piece of cloth, which was worn by men and women.
      What do you think?

      Great work Dhanshri, I like the way you have used the correct words for the clothes and brackets!!!!
      As you are writing in the past tense, could you change the can (which everyone can wear) to a could, which helps keep the tense correct?

Clothes were worn at clasps pins at the shoulder and belt, sash, or girdle at the waist. Women also wore clothing which was made from big square piece of linen or wool.

    Maths

    1. I did 8+7=15 and that goes at the top and then you do 10+4=14 on the side that is missing.
    The perimeter is 58cm

    2. I did 9-1.5= 7.5 and that goes on the longer side so then I did 8-2.5=5.5 and that goes to the other side that’s missing.

    3. So you do 16+19=35 then you do 35+8=43 then 3/4=43 3/4 43 3/4+16= 59 3/4 59 3/4+10 1/4=70
    And the perimeter
