Good morning Wrens and Robins!

ReadingIn your Home Learning books write today’s date and the

LO.

Thursday 4th June

LO: To be able to find grammatical features.

Today we are going to read the next

chapter.

Make sure that you use this opportunity

to practise your reading aloud skills.

After, go back to the first page you read

and find the grammatical features.

1. Find two apostrophes used for

o ion (where two words

have been put together and a

letter had been ed out -

for example, couldn’t or

he’ll).

2. Find three different

conjunctions (a conjunction

links ideas together – for

example, while, and,

because).

3. Find an apostrophe used for

possession (to show that one

thing belongs to the other -

for example, dog’s collar).

4. Find three verbs (verbs are

doing words - for example,

ran, talked, danced).

5. Find two proper nouns (a

proper noun is the name

given to something to make it

more specific, it can be the

name of a place or a person

– for example, Johnathan,

Ollie, New York, Monday).

6. Find a question.

7. Find four adverbs (an adverb

gives us more information about

a verb (how an action took

place)– for example, happily or

quickly,

8. Find four adjectives (adjectives

are describing words - for

example diamond – the

word dazzling is an adjective).

9. Find the determiners a/an, try

to find an example of both – for

example, an umbrella, a dog.

There may be more that I have not

spotted, you can self-assess whether

your answer is correct.

Fantastic effort

everybody!

We will now mark your

work so get a different

coloured pen or pencil.

That’s the end of your reading session for today.

Please make sure that you are still reading for pleasure every day. If you are

looking for a new book, have a look at the BookTrust website on the Bookfinder

page. You can select the age group then the type of book you’re looking for.

This week we will:

write a diary entry from Shane’s perspective.

Today’s lesson we will begin our diary entry

and will complete it tomorrow.

If you like, ask a parent to email a picture of

you and your home learning to

info@harrisprimarybeckenham.org.uk to

feature in our learners’ gallery.

Please put today’s short date Thursday 4th June into your book and the LO.

LO: To be able to write in role.

In today's lesson we will only complete the introduction and the first paragraph when Shane first meets the fierce Scaredycat.

Tomorrow, we will retell these parts.

Let’s reread the beginning of the story to remind

ourselves what happens. This will be a good time to

magpie any phrases, or sentence

starters which you could use in your own writing.

What are the features of a diary entry?

For example, for a non-chronological report the features

are: heading, subheading, photos, captions, facts.

Features

of a

diary

Chronological (time)

order of events

Let’s add your salutation

Now we will write a short introduction

The introduction briefly reflects on the events that

happened but doesn’t give too much information away.

I must tell you about my night. It was

I found a…. her name is…

I better explain myself.

Dear …,

You do not need to

use my sentence

suggestions. You

can write your

own introduction.

In the middle of a crowdedcity,

Deep in a gloomy alleyway,

On a rickety fence,

A few seconds (or minutes)later,

Within minutes (or seconds),

As the bright moon illuminated the night sky,

Can you think of any more for where? Can you think of any more for when?

We are going to add some prepositional phrases to our diary entry. Prepositions tell us the position of something (in time or place). They tell us where or when. We will use these as sentence starters.

WhenWhere

You could use these in your writing today. The words in can be replaced with your own adjectives.

For the first paragraph, we will retell this section of the story.

This is what happened (remember ).

1. I ran through the alley2. A cat scrambled up the fence.

3. I yelled at it.4. It growled at me.

These are very basic ideas which you will need to up-level and

make more interesting. You will also need to add prepositional

phrases to the beginning of your sentences and thoughts/feelings

for each one. I will model this on the next slide for the first two

ideas.

Preposition

(where/when)Event Thought/feeling

In the middle of the

city,

I ran

through the

.

My thumping heart

was racing at 100

miles an hour and I

was out of

breath.

If you would like to use my

ideas, when you begin your

writing, you must change

the in red and

the in blue to

personalise your writing

and get your brains

working.

1. I ran through the alley

Preposition

(where/when)Event Thought/feeling

Within seconds, A

scrambled up

the

and tried to run

away from me.

The little Wildcat

made me smile

and I

wanted to get closer to

it.

2. A cat scrambled up the fence.

Also, did you

spot some

alliteration?

I have completely up-levelled this

sentence without changing it’s

meaning. That’s what you need to do

with your writing today. Please

copy my ideas . Use

some things but not whole sentences.

Dear diary,

I must tell you about my night. It was I found a

new friend and one of her names is Wildcat. I better explain myself.

In the middle of the city, I ran through the

. My heart was racing at 100 miles an hour and I was

out of breath. Within seconds, a scrambled

up the and tried to run away from me. The little Wildcat

made me smile and I wanted to get closer to it.

This is what my writing would look

like in my book so far. Remember, we

are only writing the beginning of our

diary, tomorrow we will complete it.

Your turn! Your salutation and introduction should be complete (if it isn’t, please start that first).

You should be working on your first paragraph. Use these basic ideas to help you:

1. I ran through the alley2. A cat scrambled up the fence.

3. I yelled at it.4. It growled at me.

You will need to up-level these ideas and make them more interesting. You will also

need to add prepositional phrases to the beginning of your up-levelled sentences and

thoughts/feelings for each one. This has been modelled to you already with the first

two ideas however all of the modelled ideas – you can use some

adjectives, an adverb you like or a sentence starter

Read over your writing from today with a different

coloured pen.

Have you included:

Prepositional phrases (sentence starters that tell us where or

when), thoughts/feelings, adverbs, adjectives and higher

level vocabulary? If you haven’t, please try to add this now.

check capital letters, punctuation

and your spelling too.

What a brilliant start to your

diary entry! This is the end of your English lesson for

today.

Time for a break and a rest.

From now on, we will have two sessions of science each week. This afternoon you have another brilliant

science lesson all about light sources.

And that’s Maths done for the day!

Remember to do some Mathletics or Times Tables

Rockstar (will you be World Champion?) if you

haven’t done it already!

Knowing more, remembering more

1. Light travels around corners True or False?

2. Light is made by the moon. True or False?

3. Circle the light sources:

mirror fire sun glasses CD torch

So light sources can be natural or they can be man made. An object that emits light is called a light source. Light travels

from the light sources to all directions.

Task 1: Using the next few slides, can you cut out the pictures into the correct place on the Venn Diagram? Use the

video below to remind yourself of light sources:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PsHHKwtXQU

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7yTlp4gBTI

04.06.20 Science Today we are going to be

looking at what light is,

where it comes from; what

is darkness and how do we

see objects using light

Key words:

light, light source,

emit, energy,

straight lines,

reflects, bounces off

Challenge: Write a sentence to explain on why each item you have put outside the ovals is not a light source.

Jar Moon Candle Eyes Sun

Book Fire Torch Fireworks Light bulb

Stars Firefly CD Glow worm TV

Answers

Challenge: These objects do not their own light. They are light sources and so cannot go inside the Venn diagram. We see these objects only

because light off them and then the light rays travel into our eyes.

Light travels in straight lines from a light source.

• Task 2: Copy the diagrams on the next slides. Can you draw the path of light on each one?

• Rules: Draw the lines with a ruler! They have to be straight lines!!

• Think about which one produces the light and which one will reflect the light.

• Draw the arrow to show the direction in which the light energy is travelling

We can see light and feel light but we cannot touch it.

Light is in many different forms.

We see things because light travels from the light source to an object, reflects from the

object into our eyes.

Task 3: Did you know what makes us feel tired? Research and find out about melatonin in our body and how that is affected by light. These videoes are a starting point:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tjpIhlcIiEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mufsteNrTI

Humans get sleepy at night-time because of a hormone called melatonin that is produced in the brain. Melatonin slowly shuts down the body by reducing muscle and brain activity. When it is dark, the body produces more melatonin; when it is light, production drops. In adults, melatonin production peaks at around 10pm.
