See the reading task for an example of a recount. Look carefully at the first paragraph (introduction): In 2 sentences, you are told WHAT the event was, WHO it happened to, and WHERE, WHEN and WHY it happened. Now try to write introductions for the other 3 recounts that are below the writing grid. You will need to read the rest of the recounts first to get ideas for your introductions.

• Remember to use a maximum of 2 sentences.

• Remember to include WHAT the event was, WHO it happened to, and WHERE, WHEN and WHY it happened.

• Remember to think about VCOP as you construct your sentences.

• YOU ONLY HAVE TO WRITE THE INTRODUCTIONS

Also keep practising your quality short paragraphs – try to do 1 per day. Check the first learning grid for instructions. Try to vary your Openers, Connectives etc

Read the recount (below the grid). Identify what type of question each question is. Use strategies you have been taught in class to answer the questions, such as: Underlining key words in the questions. Underlining key words in the text.

Watch the video about MEAN, MEDIAN and MODE.

You can also read a brief summary of them below.

Try the challenges below the grid. There are different levels

of challenge. You can use a calculator.

Mean, median, and mode are three kinds of "averages.

The "mean" is the "average" you're used to, where you add up

all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers. The

"median" is the "middle" value in the list of numbers. To find the

median, your numbers have to be listed in numerical order from

smallest to largest, so you may have to rewrite your list before

you can find the median. The "mode" is the value that occurs

most often. If no number in the list is repeated, then there is no

mode for the list.

The "range" of a list a numbers is just the difference between

the largest and smallest values

Tips

Make a plan. Draw your design first or even make a prototype (a

small version) perhaps made of paper.

If it does not work, see if you can work out where it went wrong, can

you make any improvements?

If you don’t have enough card, perhaps make a small chair and see

if it holds a toy/weight.

I would love to see your finished chairs if you can email a pictures

of them to me. Please don’t worry if you can’t. I will include a

picture of my attempt in next week’s Home Learning Grid!

Have fun!

Parachute Jump

1. On the first day of the summer holidays, I did a parachute jump to raise money for charity. It was

at Hinton Airfield near Banbury and my Mum and my husband came to watch.


2. First I had to get up at 6 o’clock so that I could arrive by 8 o’clock. After breakfast we set off in

my Mum’s car and got there about an hour later. When we arrived, I had to wait in a queue to be

ticked off the list and I was given a suit to put on over my clothes with lots of straps and buckles.

3. After that we relaxed in the sunshine, watching the first plane load of people taking off and getting

higher and higher. When the plane was so high it looked very tiny, a little white dot appeared out of

the back, then another. We held our breath nervously, waiting to see the parachutes open. Before

long, they had all landed safely in the field next door and I began to feel excited.

4. Several more planes went up but finally it was my turn. I clambered into the plane, which was only big

enough to carry 12 passengers. Then I sat down in front of my instructor and he clipped himself to

the straps on my suit. The plane took off noisily and rose so high that it was above the small thin

clouds and the fields below looked like a map. My excitement turned partly to trepidation when I saw

how high we really were!


5. The very next moment, the door of the plane was opened and, in a flash, the first pair had jumped.

Then it was our turn. I sat down in the open doorway and before I could worry too much, the

instructor had toppled us both out. The air was rushing past my face and my ears were popping. I was

afraid that the parachute wouldn’t open and prayed that it would be OK. Of course after about one

minute, it did and then we floated gently down, like a balloon, slowly turning this way and that before

landing easily in the grassy field.

6. I was delighted to have tried such a thrilling experience and all I wanted was to have another go!

My Best Holiday

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When we arrived at the villa it was baking hot. The first thing that Dad did was to take a shower. He said that he needed to cool off after such a long

journey. There was a swimming pool so we spent a lot of time mucking about in the water or splashing water over Dad!

Primary …. Weekly Home Learning Grid for School Closures W/B ….. Below are lots of links to resources and activities, some of which you can download from Twinkl. Twinkl is available to parents for Home learning purposes for free by using this code: UKTWINKLHELPS One afternoon we went to visit some caves in the hills. Inside the caves were the most amazing stalagmites and stalactites. They were knobbly and looked

like massive, misshapen spears. Some were like bars in a zoo. The guide tapped some and it was rather like playing a glockenspiel. In the caves it was quite

cold and by the end of the tour we were all ready for a bit of sun and an ice cream.

On the third day we visited a beach. The waves were just right for surfing so we hired some bodyboards. Dad was worried that we would drown so he spent

the afternoon standing in the sea watching us. It was a breeze! The waves were strong enough to float in on but not too powerful.

One of the best things about the holidays was that Dad was so useless at cooking that we had to go into the town every night to eat. There was a stall

where you could buy chips and calamari. The calamari was squid cooked in batter – it tasted like rubbery fish. Once we had eaten, we played on the pinball

machines.

Class Trip

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The first thing that we did was to gather in a group by one of the lakes. The instructor, who was called Jeremy, showed us the canoes. He taught us how to

climb in and out. We all had to wear safety jackets in case somebody fell in. Jeremy demonstrated how to paddle. After that we climbed into our own

canoes and set off. I got myself covered in water! It was great fun.


After that we had our break. Miss Vole gave everyone a hot drink and a biscuit. She said that this would help to warm up anyone who had got wet. As I was

soaked, I was allowed two drinks.

Jeremy then showed a film of some of the creatures that live near and in a lake. I hadn’t realised that there were so many different sorts of fish and birds.

He took us to a ‘hide’. A hide is like a hut that is close to the water. From the hide we could see all sorts of different birds without them seeing us. Skater

kept making silly noises and Miss Vole said that if he continued behaving like a baby he would have to wait inside the coach. That silenced him!

In the afternoon Jeremy set us a challenge. We were put into groups and had to build a raft and then sail it to a red buoy. Luckily, Skater was in our team

because he was really good at making the raft. We were first in the water. More importantly, we did not sink! The prize for winning was a Mars Bar each!

Floods in Pakistan

Primary …. Weekly Home Learning Grid for School Closures W/B ….. Below are lots of links to resources and activities, some of which you can download from Twinkl. Twinkl is available to parents for Home learning purposes for free by using this code: UKTWINKLHELPS Flooding began on July 22, 2010, in the area of Baluchistan. The swollen waters then poured across in the northwest before flowing south into Punjab and

Sindh. Estimates of the death toll of the floods range from 1,300 to 1,600.

Even as Pakistani and international relief officials scrambled to save people and property, they despaired that the nation’s worst natural calamity had

ruined just about every physical strand that knit the country together — roads, bridges, schools, health clinics, electricity and communications.

The flooding, which began with the arrival of the annual monsoons, eventually affected about one-fifth of the country — nearly 62,000 square miles — or

an area larger than England.

Six weeks after the floods began, as rivers continued to devour villages and farmland in the southern province of Sindh, aid workers warned of a triple

threat: loss of crops, loss of seed for the next planting season and loss of a daily income. There was widespread worry that the disaster will destabilize the

country and aggravate its problems.

Spelling Rules

The single s is normally used at the start of a word, or to make a word plural.

The double ss is generally used when the sound follows a short vowel sound that is stressed.

In most other words with an s sound in them, the soft c (cee, ci or cy) is used.

When an s comes between two vowels in a word, it sounds like a z.


If the z sound comes at the end of a word, the s is not doubled (words rarely end with a single z).

If the z sound follows a short vowel, spell the word with zz.

If the z sound follows a long vowel or a combination of vowels, use ze.
