Week 16 – Tutor Guide

* Please Note: these timings are based on what we'd expect from an average Year 5 student. These should not be viewed aslimits – please allow for extensions where students may be struggling, and be aware that some students may be capable of

completing the work in a faster time.

Topic(s) Covered

Suggested Time Taken*

Teaching Points

Vocabulary Practice

3 and 4 20 minutes This week we're going to be revisiting some classic vocabulary building question types: synonyms, antonyms, compound words and homonyms. Students may by now recognise some of the words from previous worksheets and their vocabulary list, but some of the words may be completely new to them. We recommend having a dictionary to hand for these questions.

Non-Verbal Reasoning: Find the Figure Like the First Two

5 and 6 15 minutes Students will be pleased to know that they have now covered the bulk of basic NVR skills, but the work doesn't stop here! Over the coming weeks we will continue to practise and improve on speed by completing various exercises based on the classic NVR types. This week is 'Find the Figure Like the First Two'.

Time and Timetables

7 and 8 25 minutes Understanding time and timetables is such a useful skill in everyday life that we'd still be teaching it even if it never came up in exams! Any student who is unsure of the 24-hour clock should start by studying the support sheet, before moving on to answer the mixed time questions. Students must then use the information in the timetable on the next page to help answer the given questions, using the example as a guide.

Revision Sheets 9 and 10 20 minutes These revision sheets cover the topics studied in this week's work, and students should use them to help highlight and strengthen any weaker areas before they attempt the Mini Test. If they come across any questions they don't understand in the revision sheets, students should take care to refer back to previous worksheets to help them figure out the right method to use to come up with their answer.

Mini Test 2 pages 20minutes

We would suggest that Mini Test 16 should take 20 minutes.

Week 16 Extra Activities!

The extra activities below are designed to help students further strengthen skills needed in Year 5. They can be completed at any time that is convenient during the week's schedule.

1. Complete Vocab List 16 (2 words per day is a good way to break it down).

2. 'Continue the Story' game. Instructions are on a sheet included with this week's pack of work.

Timetables

There are going to be many times in your life when you're going to need to be able to read a timetable: catching a train, scheduling important meetings, not to mention in your school work!

The following timetable shows the schedule of events at a popular family theme park.

Example Question 1: On Thursday, the lunch bar opens ten minutes after the penguin showfinishes. How long does the penguin show last?

Answer: First make sure you're looking at the correct day. We need to be looking at the column under'Thur' for this question.

If we look along the row that tells us when the lunch bar opens, we can see that on Thursday it opens at 12:15.The penguin show finishes ten minutes before this, so it must finish at 12:05.

By looking at the table we can see that the penguin show starts at 11:00 on Thursday. The length of time between 11:00 and 12:05 is 1 hour and 5 minutes, so that is our answer!

Now complete the following questions by yourself:

2. Matilda's favourite event at the theme park is the wacky races, which lasts for an hour. However, shemust leave the park by 14:45. On which day could Matilda stay for the whole of the wacky races?

_________________________

3. On which day is the park open for 8 hours and 15 minutes?

4. On Tuesday, Callum arrives at the lunch bar at 12:35. If he finishes his lunch after 40 minutes, how muchtime does he have spare before the wacky races begin?

It's important that you are comfortable using the 24-hour clock. If you're unsure, remember these rules and they'll help you along!

The 24-hour clock always has FOUR digits.

For AM times – We fill in the gaps with zeros. So, if you need to write 6.00 am in the 24-hour clock, it's 06.00. If you wanted to write 11.00 am, it doesn't need anything done to it!

For PM times – We add 12 to the hours. So, if you wanted write 3.00 pm in the 24-hour clock, you would add 12 to 3. This would give you 15.00.

You don't need am/pm in the 24–hour clock.

WEEK 16 GAME

© Fraser Stevens Learning 2015

Continue the Story!

Players:

Instructions:

This game is best played with as many people as possible, but you can play with as few as two.

All players should sit in a circle, and together come to an agreement on a story title (see the suggestions below if you find yourselves getting stuck!).

The oldest player starts by making up the first line of the story and saying it out loud.

Each player must follow on the story in turn, by coming up with the next line.

Try to make your story as imaginative and as exciting as possible, whilst still ensuring that the story makes sense.

If a player can't think of a new line, they are out of the game!

Keep going until the story comes to an excellent (and exciting!) end, or whenever you just can't keep going any longer!

It's a really good idea for someone to be writing the story down as you go, as then you'll have a funny record of the twists and turns it took as you played!

"Oscar tells me that you wish to see me, sir," said Joe, as he entered the presence of his pompous employer.

Major Norton wheeled round in his armchair and looked at Joe over his spectacles. He looked at Joe's clothes, too, and it did strike him forcibly that they were very shabby. However, there was Oscar's stained suit; which was entirely whole and of excellent cloth. As to the stains, what right had a boy like Joe to be particular?

"Ahem!" said the major, clearing his throat. "Oscar tells me that you are not satisfied with the clothes I have I given you."

"He has told you the truth, Major Norton," replied Joe bluntly. "If you will look for yourself, I think you will see why I am dissatisfied."

"Joseph," said the major, in a tone of disapproval, "you are too free spoken. I understand you have been complaining to Doctor Raymond's daughter of the way I dress you."

"Did Oscar tell you the way that happened?" inquired Joe.

"I apprehend he did not."

"When I was walking home with Miss Annie Raymond, Oscar came up and insulted me, calling me a ragamuffin. I told him that, if I was a ragamuffin, it was not my fault."

Major Norton looked disturbed.

"Oscar was inconsiderate," he said. "It seems to me that your clothes are suitable to your station in life. It is not well for a boy in your circumstances to be 'clothed in purple and fine linen,' as the Scriptures express it. However, perhaps it is time for you to have another suit."

Joe listened in astonishment. Was it possible that Major Norton was going to open his heart and give him what he had long secretly desired?

Our hero's delusion was soon dissipated.

Major Norton rose from his seat, and took from a chair nearby a stained suit, which had not yet attracted Joe's attention.

"Here is a suit of Oscar's," he said, "which is quite whole and almost new. Oscar only wore it a month. It cost me thirty-four dollars!" said the major impressively.

He held it up, and Joe recognized it at once.

"Isn't it the suit Oscar got stained?" he asked abruptly.

"Ahem! Yes; it is a little stained, but that doesn't injure the texture of the cloth."

As he held it up the entire suit seemed to have been sprinkled with acid, which had changed the color in large patches in different parts. The wearer would be pretty sure to excite an unpleasant degree of attention.

Joe did not appear to be overwhelmed with the magnificence of the gift.

"If it is so good, why doesn't Oscar wear it?" he asked.

Major Norton regarded Joe with displeasure.

"It cannot matter to you how Oscar chooses to dress," he said. "I apprehend that you and he are not on a level."

"He is your son, and I am your hired boy," said Joe. "I admit that.But I don't see how you can ask me to wear a suit like that."

questions.

ComprehensionRead the passage below, then answer the questions that follow.

There existed, not many years ago, a certain street near the banks of old Father Thames which may be described as being one of the most modest and retiring little streets in London.

The neighbourhood around that street was emphatically dirty and noisy. There were powerful smells of tallow and tar in the atmosphere, suggestive of shipping and commerce. Narrow lanes opened off the main street affording access to wharves and warehouses, and presenting at their termini segmentary views of ships’ hulls, bowsprits, and booms, with a background of muddy water and smoke. There were courts with unglazed windows resembling doors, and massive cranes clinging to the walls. There were yards full of cases and barrels, and great anchors and chains, which invaded the mud of the river as far as was consistent with safety; and adventurous little warehouses, which stood on piles, up to the knees, as it were, in water, totally regardless of appearances, and utterly indifferent as to catching cold. As regards the population of this locality, rats were, perhaps, in excess of human beings; and it might have been observed that the former were particularly frolicsome and fearless.

Farther back, on the landward side of our unobtrusive street, commercial and nautical elements were more mingled with things appertaining to domestic life. Elephantine horses, addicted to good living, drew through the narrow streets wagons and vans so ponderous and gigantic that they seemed to crush the very stones over which they rolled, and ran terrible risk of sweeping little children out of the upper windows of the houses. In unfavourable contrast with these, donkeys, of the most meagre and starved aspect, staggered along with cartloads of fusty vegetables and dirty-looking fish, while the vendors thereof howled the nature and value of their wares with deliberate ferocity.

Here the population was mixed and varied. Busy men of business and of wealth, porters and wagoners, clerks and warehousemen, rubbed shoulders with poor squalid creatures, men and women, whose business or calling no one knew and few cared to know except the policeman on the beat, who, with stern suspicious glances, looked upon them as objects of special regard, and as enemies; except, also, the earnest-faced man in seedy black garments, with a large Bible (evidently) in his pocket, who likewise looked on them as objects of special regard, and as friends. The rats were much more circumspect in this locality. They were what the Americans would call uncommonly “cute,” and much too deeply intent on business to indulge in play.

In the lanes, courts, and alleys that ran still farther back into the great hive, there was an amount of squalor, destitution, violence, sin, and misery, the depth of which was known only to the people who dwelt there, and to those earnest-faced men with Bibles who made it their work to cultivate green spots in the midst of such unpromising wastes, and to foster the growth of those tender and beautiful flowers which sometimes spring and flourish where, to judge from appearances, one might be tempted to imagine nothing good could thrive. Here also there were rats, and cats too, besides dogs of many kinds; but they all of them led hard lives of it, and few appeared to think much of enjoying themselves. Existence seemed to be the height of their ambition. Even the kittens were depressed, and sometimes stopped in the midst of a faint attempt at play to look round with a scared aspect, as if the memory of

kicks and blows was strong upon them.

The whole neighbourhood, in fact, teemed with sad yet interesting sights and scenes, and with strange violent contrasts. It was not a spot which one would naturally select for a ramble on a summer evening after dinner; nevertheless it was a locality where time might have been profitably spent, where a good lesson or two might have been learned by those who have a tendency to “consider the poor.”

But although the neighbourhood was dirty and noisy, our modest street, which was at that time known by the name of Redwharf Lane, was comparatively clean and quiet. True, the smell of tallow and tar could not be altogether excluded, neither could the noises; but these scents and sounds reached it in a mitigated degree, and as the street was not a thoroughfare, few people entered it, except those who had business there, or those who had lost their way, or an occasional street boy of an explorative tendency; which last, on finding that it was a quiet spot, invariably entered a protest against such an outrageous idea as quietude in “the City” by sending up a series of hideous yells, and retiring thereafter precipitately.
