Weekly learning objective

WALT: understand and explain unit and non-unit

fractions

WALT: recognise and apply diary writing features Reading Challenges

Using one of the books from Bug

Club have a go at these tasks, focus on the quality of

your presentation as well as the content of what you create:

Create a passport of key information about a character, feel free to make up additional information you don’t have! (see the resource below) Using a selection of objects from around your home, create a picture of a setting from the story – be as creative as you can! For example, you could use sticks make the walls and windows of a house and leaves as tiles on the roof. Create a story map of the story you have read. Remember to include pictures linked by arrows, with key vocabulary alongside.

Creative Task 1: Art – graffiti!

Have a look at the images of graffiti. What do you like? Dislike? What do they make you think of? Are you impressed? Choose one of the images to focus on. Use the question prompts to help you think about your chosen image. Use the vocab mat to help you annotate your ideas around your chosen graffiti. Share what you have done with someone at home – do they think the same?

MON White Rose Maths Online Lesson: Week 1, Lesson 1: Unit and Non-unit fractions. Task 1 - Watch the video and complete the

worksheet. (If you have completed this lesson previously, watch it back to refresh your memory and then complete a MyMaths activity.) Sentences to remember: A fraction is a part of a whole. A unit is 1 so a unit fraction is 1 part of a whole.

Today you will become a detective! Your mission is to discover the features of a diary. Good Luck! First, read ‘The Secret Diary of John Drawbridge, a Medieval Knight in Training’ (separate PDF). Next, read the two diary entries by Ernest Shackleton (on a sheet below). Note down the features you discover in the ‘Features of Diary writing’ table.

Task 2 - Using toys/food/anything you can find

around your house, create unit and non-unit fractions and label them. There is an example on the sheet below to inspire you.

TUES White Rose Maths Online Lesson: Week 1, Lesson 2: Making a whole. Task 1 - Watch the video and complete the

worksheet.

Sentences to remember: - The numerator is the top number. It is the number of equal parts that have been shaded or taken. - The denominator is the bottom number. It is the number of equal parts that make a whole. -If the numerator is equal to the denominator, the fraction is 1 whole.

There are quite a few techniques to look at when preparing to write a diary:

Past tense Personal Pronouns Adverbs of time Ambitious vocabulary (challenge!)

Complete the grammar activities under ‘English session 2’.

Creative Task 2: Aspiration

There are so many incredible people working hard to keep everyone safe at the moment. Have they inspired you in some way? What do you hope to do in the future? What are your aspirations? What job would you like to do? Where would you like to visit? Record your ideas in a poster around a drawing or photograph of yourself.

Task 2 – Make some of your own unit and non-

unit fraction cards. Ask a family member to use these as flash cards (or as a challenge, call them out without you seeing them). Punch your hands up to the sky when counting the numerator and stamp your feet to represent the denominator. Tell your family member if each fraction is a unit or non-unit fraction. Challenge: Punch your hands and stamp your feet to represent the fraction which will complete the whole.

WED Task 1 – MyMaths – Simple Fractions. Today you will choose one memorable day from your Easter holidays and write a diary entry about that day. Look back at your ‘Features of Diary writing’ table to remind yourself of the criteria. Then, look at the posters and extract from ‘The Diary of a Young Girl’ under ‘English session 3’. Are there any extra features that you missed on Monday? Use the template to write your diary of a memorable day of the Easter holidays.

History:

People have been living in Britain for a very long time. As part of our History this term, we will be learning about the changes that occurred between Stone Age to the Iron Age. That is a period of over 10,000 years! We will be learning about how few people lived in Britain in the Stone Age. Tell a family member anything you already know about the Stone Age.

Research: Read the information in the ‘Intro to

Stone Age’ resource (separate PDF). You can also find some very useful resources

here: BBC Bitesize

Task: Create some drama with yourself as a

Stone Age person! Show what your daily life would have looked like-hunting and gathering, making fires, painting on walls (maybe use some water to paint on garden walls or fences!), farming etc. If you can, you could film your drama! We would LOVE to see it – ask your parents to email it to the school office if they can.

Task 2 - Look at the resource below for

Wednesday Task 2. Cut out and match up fraction cards to make a whole. How many different combinations can you make?

THURS White Rose Maths Online Lesson: Week 1, Lesson 3 – Tenths. Task 1 – Watch the video and complete the

worksheet.

Hopefully you enjoyed writing your first diary entry yesterday! Re-read your diary entry today and tick the features you used under ‘English session 4’. Today you will take on the role of a character and prepare to write a diary entry. Read ‘Paolo Emperor of Rome’ (separate PDF) and make notes under ‘English session 4’. Think about the events that happen to Paolo (what, when, where, who, why), ambitious vocabulary and his possible feelings.

Task 2 – At your next meal, split your meal/food

up into tenths. If you ate half of the meal, how many tenths would you have eaten? If you eat 7/10 of your meal, what fraction will you have left? Create your own questions to ask a member of your family about their meal.

FRI White Rose Maths Online Lesson: Week 1, Lesson 4 – Counting in Tenths. Task 1 – Watch the video and complete the

worksheet.

Re-read ‘Paolo Emperor of Rome’ (separate PDF). Can you add any more details to your notes? You are no longer a student at Four Lanes Community Junior School, you are Paolo: Emperor of Rome (a dog who escapes his owner’s hair salon). Using all of your knowledge about diaries, write a

diary entry of Paolo’s adventures around Rome. You might want to use the template under ‘English session 5’.

Science:

In Science this term, we will be learning about Digestion and Healthy Eating and we will be focussing on life processes that are common to humans. Research: What is the digestive system? Find

out here: BBC Bitesize. Task: Create a food pyramid based on the

meals you have had throughout the week. Look at the example below. You might notice some similarities between the pyramid and the Eat Well Plate we looked at in D.T. Challenge: Can you write an analysis of your

weekly diet? You could include your thoughts about whether you believe you are eating a healthy balanced diet or not.

Task 2 – https://nrich.maths.org/6938&part - A

English session 3:

Extract taken from ‘The Diary of a Young Girl’ by Anne Frank MONDAY 26TH JULY 1943

Dearest Kitty,

Yesterday was a very tumultuous day, and we're still all wound up. Actually, you may wonder if there's ever a day that passes without some

kind of excitement.

The first warning siren went off in the morning while we were at breakfast, but we paid no attention, because it only meant that the planes

were crossing the coast. I had a terrible headache, so I lay down for an hour after breakfast and then went to the office at about two. At two-

thirty Margot had finished her office work and was just gathering her things together when the sirens began wailing again. So she and I

trooped back upstairs. None too soon, it seems, for less than five minutes later the guns were booming so loudly that we went and stood in

the passage. The house shook and the bombs kept falling. I was clutching my 'escape bag', more because I wanted to have something to

hold on to than because I wanted to run away.

English session 4:

‘Dear diary’, ‘From’ and the date

Ambitious vocabulary

Past tense

Personal pronouns: I, my, me, mine

Adverbs of Time

Science

What is the digestive system?

Digestion

The food we eat has to be broken down into other substances that our bodies can use. This is called digestion.

Without digestion, we could not absorb food into our bodies and use it.

Digestion happens in the digestive system. This is a series of organs that break the food down so it can be absorbed into our

bloodstream.

Your task this week is to think about the foods you are eating. Based on this, you will have to build your own food pyramid. Record your daily meals and at the end of the week create your own food pyramid. Look at some of the examples below to get some inspiration.
