Writing

Friday

Can I write an imaginative description?

Choose a setting of your choice – a jungle, forest, underwater scene.

Find some pictures and videos of your setting to support your word collecting.

Read the WAGOLLs that have been uploaded onto Tapestry and draw a picture of what the author has described.

Once you have drawn your pictures, underline the words and phrases in the text that have given you that picture.

Refer back to your setting and collect words and phrases that you are going to use in your description.

Can I write an imaginative description?

You are focusing on what can be seen and heard in your setting today.

Look back at your word collecting – have you used ambitious vocabulary choices that is going to put a clear, vivid picture in your reader’s head?

Is there another weather or extreme climate that you can compare your setting to?

Up-level your word collecting if you need to.

Referring to the Gobi Desert WAGOLL on Tapestry, write up to ‘It was a minefield.’ for your setting.

Can I write an imaginative description?

You are finishing your description of our setting today.

Use the WAGOLL to support your writing, focusing on the picture that you are putting in your reader’s head.

Once you have finished your setting, if there is someone at home that you can read your description out to ask them to draw a picture of the image you have put in their head.

Spelling

Rule: Challenge Words

There are two activities uploaded onto Tapestry for you to complete and there are games on Spelling Shed for you to play as well.

Maths

Year 5

(see resources on Tapestry)

Can I identify angles?

Children develop their understanding of obtuse and acute angles by comparing with a right angle.

They use an angle tester to check whether angles are larger or smaller than a right angle.

Can I compare and order angles?

Children compare and order angles in ascending and descending order.

They use an angle tester to continue to help them to decide if angles are acute or obtuse.

Can I measure angles using degrees?

Children identify 360 degrees around a point (whole turn), 180 degrees and 90 degrees.

Children also recognise and deduce common angles, for example, 45 degrees.

Can I measure angles with a protractor (1)?

Children begin with measuring angles less than 90˚ - acute angles.

They use their knowledge of right angles to help estimate the size of acute angles.

Can I measure angles with a protractor (2)?

Children need to develop their understanding of using both the inside and outside scales of the protractor, and need to be taught how to decide which to use.

Year 6

Can I measure with a protractor?

You will need a protractor for this lesson.

Work through the questions to practise lining up a protractor accurately that have been uploaded onto Tapestry.

.

Can I draw lines and angles to the nearest measurement?

Using your protractor skills from yesterday and your measuring skills, work through the questions on asking you to draw angles and lines to of a given size.

.

Can I introduce angles?

Building on our skills at using a protractor, work through the questions to explore the relationship between two right angles on a straight line and around a point.

Can I find a missing angle on a straight line?

Building on your knowledge from yesterday, work through the questions on Tapestry to calculate the value of a missing angle.

Can I find a missing angle around a point?

Work through the questions on Tapestry to investigate different methods to calculate missing angles around a point.

Science

Can I describe the movement of the moon in relation to the Earth?

Use the resources uploaded onto Tapestry, to make a model of the Earth orbiting the Sun and the Moon orbiting the Earth.

Make a labelled diagram of your model in your books.

Can I plan and design an investigation to make observations and predictions?

Using the pictures of Tim Peake in his space suit, think about what the main purpose of a space suit is and how the materials on the space suit might achieve the main purpose.

Watch the video using the link on Tapestry.

Think back to the investigation on different materials and insulation.

Design an investigation similar to that one to investigate the best materials that could be used to insulate an astronaut.

Present your investigation results and write up on Tapestry.

Can I present my knowledge and understanding of space in different ways?

Choose from one the following options:

Create a space rap based on the first 1minute and 43seconds of the StoryBots rap about the solar system.

Look at slides 4-8, which explain the concept of the rule of law and how laws are made in the UK and match the role and description cards found on Worksheet 3.

The answers can be found on slides 9-13.
