Reading: Comprehension Skills

One Tiny Mistake When I received my first magic wand for my twelfth birthday, I could not have been more excited. I

imagined pointing it towards a pile of dirty clothes

and having them magically cleaned and folded

before my eyes. I’d dreamed about turning my

vegetables invisible so I didn’t have to eat them for

dinner. I never imagined that I would spend the

next year of my life encased in bottle.

One tiny, little spell gone wrong was all it took to

shrink me. My family think that I ran away to a

school for witches. They knew it had always been

my dream. What they don’t know is that I’ve been

here all along; sat on the dusty shelf in my old

bedroom, tapping on the glass and praying thatone day they will hear me.

1. Where is the narrator of this story?

2. Read the whole text very closely.

How old is the narrator?

3. Find and copy the word in paragraph

one that means ‘trapped inside’.

4. Why does the narrator’s family think

the narrator has run away?

5. How do you know that the narrator is

unhappy about being trapped in a

bottle? Use evidence from the text.

Maths: Equivalent Fractions

If you can, get

a piece of

paper and fold

it into 3. Shade

in 1/3 or one

third.

Then, fold the

piece of paper

so you create

more equal

parts.

What other

fractions can

you make?

1 2 one doubled is two

- = -

3 6 three doubled is six

1/3 can also be written as 2/6

What pattern do you notice here? What is the relationship?

Spelling: Contracted Words with Apostrophes

The spellings this week are words that include apostrophes for contraction.

e.g. could not = couldn’t

These words are always tricky to spell, because of the schwa vowel sound.

This week’s will be

Today we will be building on what we started to learn last week about humans. We learned the names of muscle groups and bones within our skeletal system (skeleton). Today we would like you to research and find the names for the different teeth in your mouth.

Once you have found the names of your teeth, see if you can place them in the correct place on this diagram.

We live in a ‘Beautiful World’ and that is going to be the focus of your new competition. You may want to create artwork about animals, plants,

scenery, beaches, meadows or anything that strikes you as something you would love to capture in art form. There will be prizes for the best entries.

Deadline for entries will be Thursday 7th May at 3:20pm.
