Writing

This week pupils will need to write a biography about Roald Dahl. In the pack there is an example of a biography and a success criteria that children should use to support their writing of the biography. In the pack there is also some information on the life of Roald Dahl. Children should do further research to gather more information to support their writing. Website provided below to support with this.

Maths

This week children will be sorting shapes according to their properties. Task 1, children will need to identify quadrilateral shapes. Task 2, children will need to identify shapes with right angles. Task 3, children will need to write sentences to describe 2D shape using mathematical language provided in the pack. Task 4, children will need to make their own 3D shapes using the nets provided and then write about the properties of that shape. Task 5, children will identify lines of symmetry in 2D shapes.

Spelling Children should practise the words using the look, cover, say method. Choose two words from the list and find their definition and then place these new words in a sentence.

The wider Curriculum

This week children will need to complete session 2 and 3 in their science booklet. Session 1- what is the function of the human skeleton? Children will need to match the bone to the function. Session 2- how do bones and muscles work together? Children will need to plan an investigation on how to test their muscles. In topic this week children need to complete session 3 in the workbook. what is a settlement and where do people choose to settle? Children will be thinking about how to identify each type of settlement. In music this week please use the Ark music website to find a link to the song we will be learning as a school.

David Walliams

David Walliams is a comedian, actor and author. He is also a judge on a TV talent show and writes for TV. David raises money for charity, sport relief, which helps people all over the world.

David was born on 20th August 1971 in Merton, London. He was the youngest child of Peter Williams, an engineer, and Kathleen Williams, a lab technician. From a young age, he loved dressing up!

David went to school in Surrey, where his love of dressing up grew and his love of acting began. He was also on the school swimming team. At age 11, he acted in his first school play and made everyone laugh. This was the moment he knew that what he wanted to do with his life was make people laugh.

David had a successful TV career and his own TV show. David changed his surname from Williams to Walliams because there was already an actor with that name. Even though David had a successful TV career he wanted to try out a new vocation. He wanted to write a book with an important message about how it’s OK to be different. In 2008, he published ‘The boy in the Dress’ about a boy who loved football and wearing dresses. The book sold over half a million copies.

David has now written twelve chapter books for children and six picture books for younger readers. Some of his most famous books are ‘Mr Stink’, ‘Billionaire Boy’ and ‘Gangsta Granny’. His books are often illustrated by tony Ross, who also illustrated the ‘Horrid Henry’ books. Many of David’s books have not been filmed for TV and you can sometimes spot him acting in them too!

David Walliams continues to make a mark on the publishing world with his funny and relatable stories for young children. He continues to raise money for charity and has been awarded an OBE by the Queen in 2017 for his work in charity and the arts.

His mother raised him as well as three sisters and two step-sisters. He liked to read adventure stories as a kid. His mom would tell him all sorts of fantasy stories, which he loved.

Task 4.1

Task 4.2- Read the description about the 3D shapes. Match the description of the 3D shape to the shape and then write the name of the shape in the box.

Task 4.3- Cut out these nets and make your own 3D shape. Once you have made your 3D shape, write a description of it using star words.

Lesson 14- To identify and describe symmetry in 2D shapes

These tasks will be looking at identifying the lines of symmetry in 2D shapes.

A line of symmetry is a line that shows both sides of the shape equally. If I placed a mirror on the line of symmetry it would show the whole shape. When identifying the line of symmetry, it is important to know that lines can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal. If both parts of the shape are equal this is a line of symmetry. Below I have showed some examples of lines of symmetry in a rectangle.

Art:

Chris Ofili This week we are going to be looking at Chris Ofili. Chris Ofili was born in Manchester in 1968. He studied at Tameside College and then at the Chelsea School of Art and the Royal College of Art in London. He was very successful at a young age. At just 30 he became the first Black artist to win the prestigious Turner Prize. In 2003, he also represented Britain at the Venice Biennale, an important international art show.

Ofili was also heavily inspired by music, particularly hip hop and also jazz. He saw these types of music as celebrations of Black culture, saying: 'I wanted to paint things that would feel like that music'.

Ofili would sometimes cut out images of Black music stars from magazines and use them in his paintings. By doing this he was celebrating their talent and acknowledging that his artwork was linked to theirs.

What kind of music inspires you? Do you listen to music when you are doing art?

Task 1: Have a look at some of Chris Ofili’s paintings and drawings and find one that you enjoy. Ask yourself why do you enjoy it.

Task 2: Recreate a painting or drawing by Ofili whilst listening to music.

PHSE:

French: Match the words with the pictures. une salade une banane une glace des frites un hamburger un jus d’orange un coca un hot dog un sandwich

J’ai faim! – I’m hungry

Je voudrais un sandwich. – I would like a sandwich
