Monday 4th May – Year 5

Good morning Year 5. We hope you have had a lovely weekend and are ready for a new week and lots of learning!

Here are your tasks for today:

English- Read the following text and answer the questions.

Jack woke with a start and, at once, a ruthless wave of pain gushed across his body. Blinking rapidly, he tried to get his eyes to clear since they were blurred with fatigue and a bitter stinging. He needed to see where he was; he knew he wasn’t where he should be. As his vision sharpened, Jack looked all around him. He remembered where he was. He was lost. He was alone. He was thirsty.

Normally, a bright, cloudless sky would make Jack feel excited and glad to be alive. Instead, he wanted to escape it. He was already baking hot and it was only dawn. There was little shade apart from amongst the thick, foreboding gathering of trees behind him. He didn’t want to venture into those again, even if it meant that he might find his friends.

The boy sat up on his pile of leaves. His entire body throbbed. His legs were peppered with large red bites and his muscles ached because he had slept on the ground. He looked across the stretch of sand that lay before him. The cool waves of the ocean lapped at the shore. To his left, he saw some gulls pecking at scraps of seaweed that sprawled across the sun-baked sand.

The sound of the waves with their gentle, repetitive hiss was calming. Behind him, the warbling and croaking that filled the trees made him anxious. Where were his friends now? Had they found refuge? Were they looking for him? Jack rubbed his sore, flaming bites and sighed, wondering what to do. He couldn’t just sit there, waiting to die.

Jack got to his feet, wincing and stepped towards the water. As he made his way across the sand, he caught a glimpse of something twinkling in the sunlight near where the gulls had been scavenging. With nothing to lose, Jack ambled over to it – glass! It was a shard of glass, perhaps from a bottle. Carefully, he picked it out of the sand like a piece of precious treasure.

At once, Jack began gathering branches, twigs, leaves – anything that would make tinder for what he wanted to be a roaring fire. With his fire he could cook and with any luck, his friends would see the smoke and find him.

With his glass in place and the pile of branches high, the fire soon began. It started as small, wispy smoke and soon became a billowing bonfire. Jack stood back, pleased with his creation. Little did he know that, behind him, from the depths of the trees, a raging figure leapt towards him.

  1. How can you tell that Jack woke suddenly?
  2. How do you think Jack feels in the first paragraph? How does the writer make you think this?
  3. There was little shade apart from amongst the thick, foreboding gathering of trees behind him.

Which word in the sentence above tells you that Jack found the trees threatening?

4.  His legs were peppered with large red bites and his muscles ached because he had slept on the ground.

What does the word ‘peppered’ tell you about the bites on Jack’s legs?

5.   What impression do you get of the ocean? Explain your answer using the text.

6.  To his left, he saw some gulls pecking at scraps of seaweed that sprawled across the sun-baked sand.

What does the phrase ‘sprawled across the sun-baked sand’ suggest about the seaweed?

 

Maths

A pupil has been given a set of 5 questions to answer. They tried their best but think they have got some answers wrong. Go through the work and check the answers. Help the pupil to understand their errors by explaining where they have gone wrong or how to find the correct answer (there are prompts below the questions to help you).

ICT – Discuss the following question with your family

 

Art

Investigate the artist Andy Warhol. What type of Art was he famous for? What is your favourite of his pieces of Art?

Recreate your own version of one of his pieces. You can use whatever media you would like. If you can, we would love to see a photo of  your work which can then go into your Home Learning pack.

      Thank you Simar.
      1) Also – the fact that he woke with a start.
      2) Being so rapid? How does the writer make you think that he was feeling shocked?
      5) Does the text tell you that it was calm? Remember to use the text in your answers.

      1) Which carrying? One lot or more than that?
      3) This one is incorrect but was it for the reason that you stated? Isn’t 6 x 53 = 318?
      5) Did they go wrong in more than one place?

    good morning everyone this is for English
    1]why I think who woke up suddenly is because it said jack woke up with a start, and at once .
    2]I think he feels panicky because he was blinking rapidly and a really big pain gushed to his body.
    3]he was so scared and nervous because he`s stranded somewhere that is wet ,cold ,and he`s in pain .
    4]the words threatening I think forbidding the gathering behind the trees .
    5]peppered means his legs were bright red and spotty .
    6]I think it means really hot sand and the seaweed flowing everywhere .

      Hi Evie,

      Have a look at question 3 – have you answered it? This just needs a one word answer.
      I’m not sure if you have mixed up your answers – I think you have answered Q3 as Q4??

      Did you mean foreboding or forbidding?
      4) Check the meaning of the word ‘peppered’.
      I think you’ve missed out Q5??
      6) Double check your answer to Q6.

      Mrs Millard XX
      P.S. Do your sentences begin with capital letters?

    Good Morning Mrs Millard,
    Here is my English for today.

    1. You can tell Jack woke suddenly because it says in the text ‘Jack woke with a start’.
    2. I think that he was hurt because it says ‘a ruthless wave of pain gushed through his body’. I think he is also scared because there are a lot of short sentences that build the tension.
    3. Foreboding is the word that tells us that he is threatened by the trees.
    4. I think peppered means the bites were stinging.
    5. The sea was calm because it says in the text that the waves were gentle.
    6. I think the phrase means that the seaweed has gone all dry and hard because of the hot sun.

    ENGLISH! (I wont stop writing ENGLISH! like this I don’t know why but I think its a bit more fun:) )
    1)Maybe because he was stressed from what ever he just faced.
    2)I think jack is worried about his friends because if he is alone on an island how is he going to survive .
    3)He probably was threatened bye the trees because he was worried what was lurking behind them .
    4) covering the whole body .
    5)I think of the ocean as a calm place but some times it wont be a calm place like 50/50 because when I was in Lithuania I went to the beach on a stormy day I saw the beginning of a tornado but it was very weak one . anyway lets go back to ENGLISH!
    6) It means that the seaweed was covering the burning hot sand he was siting on .

      2) How does the writer make you think that he is sad?
      4) Could you use the computer to check the meaning?
      6) Check what the word ‘sprawled’ means.

      English – 1) He also woke with a start.
      2) How does the writer make you think that he is scared?

      4) Peppered means that his legs were covered in bites.

    Good Morning Mrs Milliard,
    This is my English for today,

    1:How I can tell Jake woke up suddenly is ‘Jake woke up in a start ‘

    2:I think Jake is feeling panicked because he was doing everything raped.

    3:Forbording is a word that tells us that he is scared and nevus

    4: I think the word ‘peppered’ means that the tree is scatted around him.

    5:The sea was calm because it says that the waves was very gentle

    6: I think the phrase means that the sun had dried all the seaweed out.

      6) What does the word ‘sprawled’ mean?

    I think he was shocked because he woke up with this pain.
    Foreboding.
    Either they were covered or they hurt.
    They waves could have been calm or not it just depends on what the weather is like.
    It is like it is hot and there is seaweed everywhere

    1. He was blinking very fast and he got a huge wave of pain
    2. Jack feels in pain and if you read the 1st paragraph it says “a ruthless wave of pain gushed across his body.”
    3. The word foreboding sugguets that a feeling that something bad will happen.
    4. Peppered means in this sentence that Jack’s legs is taking large amounts of pain and burning.
    5. The expression he get’s that the ocean is his happy place or a place where he can stay there and be calm. Using these quotes “The sound of the waves with their gentle.”,”Jack got to his feet, wincing and stepped towards the water.”
    6. The sprawled across the sun-baked sand suggests that the seaweed is quiet far because of the word across, and the seeweed is on the sand because gulls can’t go that deep into the water and reach for the seaweed.
