Tuesday 16th June – Year 5
Good morning Pankhurst Class – I hope that you and your families are all well and keeping safe.
I saw some lovely chocolate wrapper designs yesterday and many of you are working very hard on your English and Maths tasks – well done.
Here are today’s tasks:
Grammar
Last week we started looking at colons and semi-colons and you completed some independent work on semi-colons on Friday. I would therefore like you to focus on colons today. Here are the 2 links that you looked at last week if you need a quick reminder:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zs4qn39/articles/z4k2xyc
Here are some examples of colons in sentences and an explanation of how and why they have been used:
Now try this on your own:
Writing
I want you to think about the characters in the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory book. Here is a list of them if you can’t remember:
https://www.gradesaver.com/charlie-and-the-chocolate-factory/study-guide/character-list
Personally, I thought that Augustus Gloop, the Oompa Loompas and Violet Beauregarde were hilarious!
I want you to create your own new character to join these on their adventures to the factory. You will need to think about the following:
- What is their name? (Often this is linked to their personality)
- How do they behave/act?
- What do they look like?
- Will their parents (or other relatives) be joining them in the factory and tell me about them too.
- What happens to them in the factory?
- How does their journey end? Do they follow the same fate as Veruca Salt or Augustus Gloop?
Please write a character profile for your new character, thinking about the above. I would absolutely love to see a picture of them if you could e mail that.
Maths
We looked at some chocolate themed word problems yesterday and I think we should have one more practice at a few more.
Try these:
Music
I’d like you to follow this Music lesson which looks at pulse and rhythm in music – let me know what you think.
https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/to-identify-pulse-and-rhythm-in-music/activities/1/
Remember that if you are feeling a little anxious about anything then I am here to talk – you can e mail me if you prefer. I miss talking to you all in person but we’ll have to do the best we can for a while longer.
Take care,
Mrs Millard and Mrs Munro XX

Hi Evie,
I love your character of ‘Bubblegum’ – shouldn’t her name begin with a capital letter?
She sounds like an outrageous character. I loved the doors made out of Oreos and the details about her personality.

The first four are in the correct place but you used ;
Question 5 – the : should go after ‘shore’.
Question 6 – no semi-colon needed.
