1 Reading - Artemis Fowl by Owain Colfer pg64-65

Use clues in the text to infer meaning

INFERENCE

Children to read the text, following along with a ruler, independently.

Remind the Children of what inference is and how we infer things within our everyday life – body language, facial

expressions, and people’s emotions.

Explain to the Children that these will not be obvious in the text - we will need to ‘read between the lines’ to figure it

out.

1. How do you know Artemis is the leader of the group?

2. How do you know Butler is embarrassed? Find 2 examples.

3. Do you think Butler should have explained what was going on to Juliet already? Explain.

Model to the Children how they found it out. Where in the text can they look? What specific phrases and words give you

this impression?

Children at home to create 4 of their own inference questions following the structure of 'How do you know…' or 'Why…'

Children in school to create inference questions as a class.

3 Maths – Multiply 2d x 1d (recap)

Children build on their understanding of formal multiplication from Year 3 to move to the formal short multiplication

method. Children use their knowledge of exchanging ten ones for one ten

in addition and apply this to multiplication, including exchanging multiple

groups of tens. They could draw place value counters to support their

understanding.

Which column should we start with, the ones or the tens?

How are Ron and Whitney’s methods the same? How are they different?

Can we write a list of key things to remember when multiplying using the

column method?

5 PE – Gym Fit

Learning objective:

• To develop consistency in technique.

Learning outcomes:

• Explore reasons for improvement or lack of improvement.

• Perform a fitness circuit with understanding, aiming to improve strength and stamina.

Warm-up:

Numbers game

Ask the children to move around the whole space, changing their action when the following numbers are called.

1. Jog around the room.

2. Star jumps.

3. Burpees.

4. Sit down.

Ensure all children know the required moves. Vary the time between calling out the different numbers.

Skills learning and development:

With the children, recap on the skills learned in Lesson 1. Ask the children to model the technique to demonstrate

understanding. Ask: What are you aiming to improve in this lesson?

Application and practice:

The children should perform the circuit from Lesson 1 in pairs. However, this time, when one of the pair is

active at a station, the other runs around the hall for the minute. Place cones around the hall for the children to run

around. All children must run in the same direction. Change roles after one minute.

2 Maths - Multiply 3d x 1d (recap)

You are going to build on previous steps to represent a three-digit number multiplied by a one-digit number.

Go careful when exchanging, this needs to go at the bottom of your answer question and will need to be added on too.

How is multiplying a three-digit number by

one-digit similar to multiplying a two-digit

number by one-digit?

Would you use counters to represent 84

multiplied by 8? Why?

Make predictions based on the text

PREDICT

Read the text again, following along with a ruler.

What does it mean to make a prediction? Why do we need to use the text when we are making a prediction?

Point – physically find it

Evidence – show that this is your point

Explain – what are your reasons why?

You must back up your point with something from the text.

What do you think is going to happen to Artemis when they find the ancient oak?

Why do you think they need to find leprechaun?

2 Maths - Multiply 4d x 1d

You are going to build on previous steps to represent (show) a 4-digit number multiplied by a 1-digit number. When you

are exchanging, look carefully if this is happening in the ones column or if this is happening in other columns too. You will

need to make sure these are added on and not forgotten about.

Why is it important to set out multiplication using columns?

Explain the value of each digit in your

calculation.

How do we show there is nothing in a place

value column?

What do we do if there are ten or more

counters in a place value column?

Which part of the multiplication is the product?

3 Maths – Reasoning

Complete the 2 reasoning activities below.

Why is it important to set out multiplication using columns? Explain the value of each digit in your calculation. How do we

show there is nothing in a place value column? What do we do if there are ten or more counters in a place value column?

Which part of the multiplication is the product?

4 English - Inverted Commas

Read the example from part of the legend of Beowulf. Firstly, you need to decide which part is the narrative and which

parts are speech. How do we know this as a reader? Pick 2 colours and highlight/underline to show the difference

between the narrative and the speech.

My arms were aching and my skin was stinging. Dust and pollen clogged my throat and nose. I crawled through the

weeds, dug down into the earth, slashed and pulled at the stems. I dreamed of the baby crawling out here. She

was strong and she kept on giggling and pointing at the birds. Then I saw how close to the garage I had crawled

and I thought of the man in there, how he just sat there, how he seemed to be just waiting to die. I stood up

and went to the garage door. I stood listening. There was nothing but the usual scuttling and scratching.

“You can’t just sit there!” I called. “You can’t just sit there like you’re waiting to die!”

There was no answer. I stood listening.

“You can’t!” I said.

No answer.

If you are feeling confident with speech and the use of inverted commas, try to write 4 examples of speech of what you

think Beowulf might say.

5 PE - Gym Fit

Learning objective:

• To develop personal fitness in an obstacle-style circuit.

Learning outcomes:

• Use the correct technique for new stations that involve equipment.

• Understand that circuits can take different forms and work on different fitness elements.

Warm-up:

Chain tag – try and get your family to play a game of tag. This time, once a tagger has caught someone, the join the

tagger by linking arms to form a chain. Then the chain of taggers work as a team to try and catch the rest of the people.

In this lesson, you are going to complete an obstacle-style course.

If you are at home, just work with any resources you may have. You might have things in your house, shed or garage that

could work as the equipment.

• Hurdles: Set out a number of hurdles. You should jump the hurdles, touch a cone, jog back to the start and repeat. This

improves your stamina.

• Ladders: You should jump two feet to two feet in each square of the ladder to improve your leg strength.

• Side jump: You should put your hands in the centre of a mat and jump from side to side, aiming to get right over the

mat. This improves your stamina and arm strength.

• Hoopla: Set out eight hoops, like tyres in an agility course. In turns, you should jog towards the hoops and put one foot

in each hoop, lifting the knees high but maintaining a good fluent running action. Then jog back to the start and repeat.

This aims to improve your stamina.

• Bench jumps: You should perform jumping jacks on and off the bench, moving along the length of the bench as you go.

You should jog back to the end of the bench and repeat. This improves strength in the legs and stamina.

• Ball pass: In pairs (if you can), start lying on a mat with your feet flat on the floor, knees up and a ball held above the

head. Pass the ball to a partner as you sit up. Your partner receives the ball and lies back down. Repeat. This improves

abdominal strength.

We are going to write a detailed setting description together using the trailer from ‘Into the Woods.’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Byk9Is3TjY

We need to think about how do we want to make the reader feel? Happy? Sad? Scared? Nervous? Excited?

Here is how I am going to start the writing.

Stretching up towards the dark sky, the gnarled branches became a canopy over the girl in red.

How can we continue describing the setting?

4 Maths – Multiply 2d x 2d

We are looking at more formal multiplication methods today.

You will start by exploring the role of the zero in the column

method and understand its importance.

Can you explain your understanding of what is happening

within each step of the calculation process?

Why is the zero important?

What numbers are being multiplied in the first line and in the

second line?

When do we need to make an exchange?

What can we exchange if the product is 42 ones?

If we know what 38 × 12 is equal to, how else could we work out 39 × 12?
