Your spellings this week are all words that you will use a lot in your writing. You could practice by: • using some of the tips from previous weeks; • finding out what they mean; • thinking of some synonyms or antonyms for the

words; • writing them in a sentence; • asking an adult to do a test.

Hello Year 5’s! Well done to those who are still working hard and being resilient. Keep trying

Year 5 SEN Workbook Summer 2 Week 4

After reading Varjak Paw with you all, I fancied reading another book about animals.

I chose to read Pax and I am really enjoying it so far. I think it might be another one that makes me cry though!

What are you reading at the moment? Is there anything you would recommend?

Don’t forget! If you are looking for something to read, you can get some fantastic books on the Libby Library App. Just ask an adult to sign you up. You can also pick up a book from

outside school when you collect next week’s workbooks.

Day 1

Time for a new unit of writing! I am super excited about this one. I spoke to the person who wrote the model text on Twitter

and she has asked to see some of our work! How exciting!

For thousands of years, humans all over the world have tried to discover the power of wizards. There are many stories about what we do, where we live and the spells we cast. I’m here to introduce you to the world of wizardry and to inspire you to

write about wonderful wizards!

Here is my Top Trump card. Make your own for some other wizards. You could use ones from films or make

your own up. I have included some pictures below or you can draw your own versions.

You could cut these cards out or make some more and play Top Trumps with your family. If you don’t know how to pay Top Trumps you can find out here:

Please don’t follow these instructions!

This is our text for this week. Read it out loud and try and practice those fluency techniques that Mrs Anderson uses with you in Tuesday’s lessons. • Do certain bits need to be

read faster or slower? • What feeling are you trying to

give to the person listening? • What will you do if you get to

a word you can’t read? • Do you need to stop and

reread again?

You will need to read it aloud a few times to get the fluency and

expression correct.

Challenge: Now write some spells!

String THREE wizard words together and don't forget to separate them with a comma to make a list. This creates your spell.

Now practise saying your spells aloud. We always say the third word the loudest, so end with an

exclamation mark to show this.

For example: Farm-ius, Shade-iorum, EXPLODE-IUM! Mine is going to be a spell to get my cat to come over. Cat-ium, come-ious, HERE-IOSA!

Looking after your mind is just as important as looking after your body. When think about keeping our mind happy and healthy we call it our ‘mental health’

Looking after your mental health is not always easy. Especially when things are happening in the world that might be worrying you! Here are some suggestions to keep your mind happy and

healthy. You can watch this video for more information https://youtu.be/0k_R7R1gIdA

Try some hand breathing.

Stretch your fingers on one hand out. Trace your pointer finger up and down the fingers on this hand as you breathe slowly in and out.

https://youtu.be/DSgOW879jjA

This is a good technique if you are feeling anxious.

Give yourself a butterfly hug

1. Cross both arms over your chest and place each hand on your shoulder.

2. Gently begin tapping each hand one at a time on your arms. Tap for 10 counts

3. Pause and take a deep breath.

4. Keep going until you feel more relaxed.

Write down or think about:

5 things you can see

4 things you can touch

3 things you can hear

2 things you can smell

1 thing you can taste

Ocean breathing.

Transport yourself to the beach. Sit or lie down in a comfortable position. Slowly breathe in through your nose, and then out through your pursed lips (as if you are blowing through a straw). The slow breathing sounds like ocean waves, gently crashing on shore.

Peace Out

Try some guided relaxation with the Cosmic Kids Peace Out

videos.

This is one of Mrs. Aslett’s favourites.

Have a brain break

Sing a song, go for a walk, do a silly dance. Get moving!

Here are some good ideas:

Give it a squeeze!

Sit or lie down in a comfortable position. Hold each squeeze for about 5 seconds.

• Curl your toes tight like you are picking up a pencil with your feet.

• Tense your legs by pretending like you are standing on your tippy-toes, trying to look over a fence.

• Suck in your stomach as if you are trying to slide through a narrow opening.

• Make fists with your hands and pretend like you are trying to squeeze all of the juice out of an orange.

• Pretend like a bug landed on your nose, and you’re trying to get it off without using your hands. Try to scrunch your face and move your jaw to make it fly away!

Concentrate on how different it feels to tense and then relax your muscles.

Talk, talk talk!

If you are worried, sad, angry or anxious then speaking to an

adult is important and will help. They can work through some of

these activities with you.

These activities can help adults too!
