Longstone Primary School home learning grid: Level (P5) week 9

Week beginning 1st of June.

Writing Reading Number

What is the aim of our learning?

Learning goal: we are learning to write an imaginary story. Where are we in achieving our learning goal?

To help us achieve our learning goal, we have already:

• Created characters

• Looked at the writing process

• Looked at the structure of an imaginative story

• Planned our imaginative story

• Wrote our introduction What’s next on our learning journey? This week, we are going to focus on and write our build-up. Our build-up will be paragraph 2. Aim for approximately 5 sentences in your build-up paragraph. Learning intention for this week: we are learning to write a build-up.

J.K. Rowling is releasing chapters of her new book, The Ickabog every weekday. I would like you to read the chapters each day.

Task 1 If you haven’t started reading the Ickabog, predict what you think it may be about?

LI: we are learning to predict what a book will be about.

To be successful: I can

• Use what I know about stories already and clues from the title to make logical predictions.

• Be able to justify why I think this. Task 2 Choose parts of the book to illustrate.

LI: we are learning to illustrate a story.

To be successful:

• Read the chapters.

• Decide what you are going to illustrate – characters/ setting/ maps etc.

• Use the authors description to draw a true representation.

This week, we are going to solve multiplication questions using the box method.

LI: we are learning to multiply a 2dn x 1dn.

To be successful: 23 x 7

• First, you divide the larger number into its separate parts. Here, 23 becomes 20 (t) and 3 (o).

• Next, you multiply each separate part — 20 x 7 and 3 x 7.

• Finally, you add all the products together. 140 + 21 equals 161, the product of 23 x 7.

To warm up your brain, try the 4 questions below: Example: 17x4 = 68 10x4=40 7x4= 28 40+28= 68

Using this method helps us multiply bigger numbers. --------------------------------------------------------

How can we be successful and how will we know? To be successful in our overall learning goal, we will focus on our next step – the build-up. Make sure you read your introduction before you write your build-up. Your story must flow. Your build up will lead to the big problem. Below, we will look at:

• Our journey so far

• What a good imaginative story looks like

• What a good build-up looks like Your turn

• You will use the success criteria to plan, write and assess your build-up.

Once we have written our build-up, we will be closer to achieving our learning goal.

J.K. Rowling is asking children to illustrate the Ickabog for her. When the book is published in November your illustrations could be in it. Click the link below to read the chapter and find out more about the competition. There will also be suggestions of things you can illustrate.

https://www.theickabog.com/ You can look on the website at other people’s illustrations to get some inspiration.

You can draw a character/ setting anyway you like. You could use paint, chalk, or a combination of materials. --------------------------------------------------------

LI: we are learning to read for enjoyment. Continue to read a book of your choice. You can either read a book you have at home, read one on Epic or Oxford Owl.

Spelling Talking & Listening Maths

LI: we are learning to spell our words correctly. Complete one activity from the spelling grid to practise your spelling words.

Spelling list 1 – g words.

Spelling list 2 – first 12 words from column 4. ----------------------------------------------------------

Option 1 Go to www.spellingcity.com/ and play the games using your spelling words. Option 2

LI: we are learning to use suffixes correctly.

Option 1 Ask your family to be your audience and present your presentation (from project.)

LI: I am learning to share information.

To be successful:

• Communicate clearly, audibly and with expression.

• Talk is organised with an appropriate structure.

• Use suitable vocabulary.

• Use presentation to support communication.

If you want to, you can ask your family to record your presentation and send it to me. Option 2 Watch the animation of the book, Whilst We Can’t Hug. Write down 3 things you like about the video to tell someone else.

LI: we are learning how to work out a fraction of an amount.

To be successful:

• Divide the number by the bottom of the fraction (denominator).

• Multiply the answer, from step 1, by the top of the fraction (numerator).

We are going to continue consolidating our understanding of a fraction of an amount. This week, our numerator will always be 1 so we will not need to multiply. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYJqbwykcJk (watch this video explaining how to work out a fraction of an amount.) Choose your challenge!!!

SPICY I know: Halves, quarters, tenths and fifths of numbers to 100. Numerator is always 1.

To be successful:

• I know what a suffix is.

• I know a suffix goes at the end of a word.

• I can identify the ‘root’ and ‘suffix’

• I can use my understanding to help with spelling and working out the meaning of unfamiliar words.

Suffixes A root word is basic word that has not been changed by a prefix (a group of letters added to the start of the word) or a suffix. A suffix is a group of letters that is added to the end of a root word, changing or adding to its meaning. Suffixes can show if a word is a noun, an adjective, an adverb or a verb. For example, the suffix –er changes the verb ‘teach’ to the noun ‘teacher’.

HOT I know: Halves, quarters, tenths, fifths, thirds, sixths, eighths, ninths, elevenths and twelfths of numbers to 150. Numerator is always 1.

--------------------------------------------------------

Equivalent fractions Consolidate your understanding of equivalent fractions.

LI: we are learning about equivalent fractions.

To be successful:

• I understand what an equivalent fraction is – equal in value.

• I know what the top part of a fraction is called and represents.

• I know what the bottom part of a fraction is called and represents.

• I understand that equivalent fractions may use different numerators and denominators but represent the same part of a whole.

• I know how to create equivalent fractions – multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same number.

• I can use multiplication and division to help me.

Writing – our writing journey so far…

Writing – writing a build-up for our imaginative story.

Below is a short story showing how the build-up leads to the problem. Notice how it flows together.

Writing - let’s look at what a good imaginative story looks like. In the example below, we can clearly see the different

parts of the story – intro, build-up, problem, solution and ending. This is what we are aiming to include in our

imaginative story. The story below, ‘The Twins’ Tunnel Trouble’ has borrowed and changed parts from two famous

stories, ‘The Tunnel’ and ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.’ Lots of writers’ magpie ideas and we have done

this several times in class. Just make sure that you aren’t copying the exact story. Change the characters names/

personality/ appearance, change parts of the plot etc.

Writing – lets look closely at the build-up from, ‘The Twins’ Tunnel Trouble’.

Can you spot any similes?

Can you spot the speech? What do you notice about the speech?

Can you spot the synonyms? No boring words!

Can you spot where the story starts to create suspense and tension?

Can you spot where the plot starts to develop?
