Writing:

Task 1 (35 minutes)

Watch the RSC and Michael Morpurgo broadcast of A Midsummer Night’s Dream using the information below

Here is your link to the live event. This link will go live at 11am  

The Tale will be signed by a British Sign Language Interpreter and there will also be an option to watch with captions.

The link won’t work until 11am so don’t try to use it before. You will also need to start watching at 11am if you want to watch it from the start.

If you miss it or want to watch it on another day, I will put a new link up on Monday’s blog.

Let me know if you enjoyed it!

 

Task 2 (30 minutes)

Think back to the work we completed yesterday about forest settings.

Today, I would like you to write a detailed setting description about a forest scene.

You can use the images on the PowerPoint below to help you or find your own.

Forests

Remember to include:

  • descriptive language
  • expanded noun phrases
  • relative clauses
  • similes
  • a range of punctuation

 

Maths (50 minutes)

Starter activity:

Answer the question below:

Main activity 

Today, we are going to use the skills from this week to answer some word problems.

Here’s an example of how I would work out the problem:

Alice went shopping for some clothes. She bought some different items.

She bought a sunhat and an overshirt and paid £21 for both of them.

She bought three overshirts for £30 altogether.

She bought shorts and a sunhat for £19.

She bought a skirt and shorts for £20.

Each item cost a different amount. Can you work out what each item cost?

Step 1: Read the question

Step 2: Identify the key information

  • sunhat + overshirt = £21
  • 3 x overshirt = £30
  • shorts +sunhat = £19
  • skirt + shorts = £20
  • Each different price
  • How much does each cost?

Step 3: What do I notice? What operations are needed.

I have noticed that 3 overshirts cost £30 which means each overshirt must cost £10 each because £30 divided by 3 = 10. Now I can use this to work out the rest.

Step 4: Solve the problem

sunhat + overshirt = £21.

sunhat + £10 = £21

£21 – £10 = £11

Sunhat = £11

shorts + sunhat = £19

shorts + £11 = £19

£19 – £11 = £8

shorts = £8

skirt + shorts = £20

skirt + £8 = £20

£20 – £8 = £12

skirt = £12

 

Step 5: Write your answers out clearly

Overshirt = £10

Sunhat = £11

Shorts = £8

Skirts = £12

 

Step 6: Check that you have used all of the information.

 

Now your turn, try these:

Word problems

 

Independent Reading (20 minutes)

Spend 20 minutes reading a book or a magazine of your choice. Maybe have a read of your Christmas present if you haven’t started it already.

In the comments, tell the rest of the class what you are reading.

Art (1 hour)

Our art topic this term is all to do with clay – bit tricky online!

Clay work is all based around sculptures so that is what we will focus on this week.

Watch the clip below:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zh4wmp3

Can you use nature to create a piece of art?

Possibly through drawing or perhaps using the things you find in your garden to create something.

 

Assembly

Choosing our ‘Set the Standard’ was incredibly difficult this week as you have all impressed us so much!

We have chosen a child who has produced work as if they were in the classroom; ensuring that the presentation and standard of work was just as good as usual.

Our ‘Set the Standard’ for this week is:

Evie

Well done!!

 

You have all done a fantastic job this week and I will be sending out lots of certificates over the weekend!

 

Have a fantastic weekend! See you on Monday!

Miss Kinsella and Mrs Maruzza

    As I walked into the forest I saw the big , green trees . They were the size of a giant . It was like they were surrounding me just to step on me .

    The bushes were like mini trees but with just leaves when I looked at them it was like they were following my eyes.

    Gunky,foggy that’s how you’ll describe this forest.The mud was as sticky as pudding the leaves were as poisonous as an anaconda;once you get in you never get out sinking in the mud like how you would sink in a deep pool.They would have to re-cover the barbed wire surrounding it as every year it got bigger and 2x more powerful
