Week beginning 08/06/20

English

This week we will be continuing to study the story ‘The Hunter’. We will be continuing our work on sharing the planets and completing some learning on jungle animals.

Task 1 – Describing a characters emotionsWatch my YouTube video recapping the story so far and sharing what Jamina decides to do next in the story. After watching the video discuss with an adult whether your prediction from last week was correct and whether you think Jamina made the right decision. Today I would like you to draw a picture of the baby elephant into the centre of a piece of paper – you could follow this tutorial to draw your elephant - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeAmHyiY6IY.

After drawing your elephant please record adjectives (describing words) around the elephant to describe how he is feeling in this part of the story –

I have included some adjectives below. Not all of them are appropriate. Pick out the best words to describe how the elephant is feeling. Discuss the meaning of any unknown words with an adult.

Happy Excited Pleased

Overjoyed Jolly Lively

Playful Delighted Cheerful

Sad Upset Unhappy

Miserable Confused Lost

Pained Worried Shy

Nervous Quiet Loud

Task 2 –Watch my YouTube video from yesterday again and revisit your word bank of adjectives created yesterday.Today you are going to be writing in role as the baby elephant, describing how he is feeling. Think about the following questions when completing your writing – How is the baby elephant feeling about his Mum not waking up? Does he understand what has happened? Is he missing the rest of his troop of elephants? Is he worried he won’t see his troop again? What will happen if the hunters return? Remember when writing in role as a character you become the character and use the words ‘I’ and ‘my’ in your writing.

I have uploaded a document onto the Google Classroom for you to record your writing into or there is a template on the Tiger class page of the website which you can print. You can also complete your recording onto a plain piece of paper.

Task 3 – Rainbow Reading – navigating genresFor today’s learning I would like you to complete some writing about what sort of text you feel ‘The Hunter’ is. Is it a story (fiction) or information (non-ficiton) book? How do you know it is a certain text type? Please use some sentence starters from the Rainbow Reading card ‘navigating genres’ to record your ideas. I have uploaded a document onto the Google Classroom to record this learning into.

Task 4 – Spelling punctuation and Grammar (SPAG) lesson - contractionsWatch the videos found here - https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z4p2mfr reminding you what a contraction is. Then complete activity 1 and 2. I have added a google document to the classroom where you can complete activity two or you can complete it onto a piece of paper and share with me via the Tiger class email address.

Task 5 – SPAG lesson - ContractionsRead the following poem and identify all the contractions present within the poem. Then record the contractions you have found onto the google document I have added to the classroom, along with the two words that have been joined together. You could also complete this learning onto a piece of paper if you are unable to access the classroom.

SpellingsFor your spelling homework this week please learn the following spellings –animal, petal, hospital, magical, camel, tunnel, squirrel, apple, bottle, paddle.

Remember to write a sentence including each word. You could even challenge yourself to include several of the spellings within a sentence. E.g. The squirrel took the apple into the magical tunnel.

MathsMental Maths –For your mental maths tasks this week please work your way through the white rose google slides I have added to the Tiger class Google Classroom and as a powerpoint on the Tiger class website. There are videos for you to watch. Please discuss your answers with an adult. Please complete one page of the slides each day.

Measurement – Mass, capacity and temperatureFor the next few weeks you will be revisiting measurement but this time you will be exploring; measuring mass (the weight of something), capacity (how much liquid a container holds) and temperature (how hot or cold something is).

Task 1 – CapacityPlease complete the slideshows found at the following link - https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zkrf382 The slideshows recap your previous learning on capacity.

Once you have complete the slideshows please complete the following capacity quiz. I have uploaded this onto the google classroom and onto the school website.

Task 2 – Measuring capacity in mlToday you will be reading different scales showing capacity in ml. Please complete the following capacity powerpoint which I have uploaded onto the google classroom and the class webpage.

On the google classroom I have uploaded a document for you to complete reading capacity in ml. I have also uploaded a document onto the Tiger class webpage that you could print and complete if you are unable to access the google classroom.

Task 3 –Problem solvingPlease solve the following problems. I have uploaded a google document for you to record your answers into. If you aren’t able to access the classroom you could print these off or discuss them with an adult from the screen of your computer or tablet.

Task 4 – litres or millilitres In year two we learn that there are 1000ml in a litre. Have a hunt around your home for containers that measure capacity in litres. If you have large fizzy drink or squash bottles you will see that these show capacity in litres. Larger capacities are measured in litres.

On the google classroom there is a sorting activity for you to complete. Sorting containers into whether you think their capacity in measured in litres or ml. I have uploaded a similar activity onto the Tiger class webpage.

Task 5 – FractionsAnother important part of the SATs arithmetic paper being able to find fractions of numbers. Please complete your learning onto a piece of plan paper, showing your working out. You can then record your answers for me to check onto the google document I have added to our google classroom. Revisit my YouTube video on how to find fractions of numbers before solving the questions below – this can be found on the tiger class webpage.

½ of 20 = 1/5 of 10 =¼ of 16 = 1/6 of 18 =¾ of 20 = 1/8 of 24 =

InquiryWe will be continuing our transdisciplinary theme ‘Sharing the Planet’ into term 6.

Within this our central idea would have been – Living things may have different requirements in order to survive.

This term we would have been answering the following questions: What are the different parts of a plant? What do plants need to grow? How do we look after a plant? How are plants adapted to live in different places? Where are animal’s homes? How should we treat an animals home? Why do animals live in different places? How are animals adapted to their environment? What are the different groups of animals? How do animals differ by the foods they eat? What interesting facts can I learn about animals?

Please continue to discuss these questions with your child. Are you able to answer any of them yet? Hopefully by the end of this term we will be able to answer many of these questions.

When we are at school we talk about the Learning Profile Attributes within all lessons and look for example of children demonstrating these attributes throughout the school day. See if you can continue to practise the school’s Learner Profile Attributes whilst completing your learning at home:

Inquiry learning tasks

Task 1 – Science – Groups of animals – amphibians (research lesson)This term we will be continuing our work on different groups of animals.

Task 4 – Art – Nature art – land artThis term we will be continuing our work on natural art. Remember that natural materials are things from nature. Things from nature have not been made by people. They are found all around us in the world. Plants, animals and rocks are all things that are natural.

This week on one of your walks or in your garden I would like you to create a larger piece of nature art or land art. On the Google classroom and Tiger class webpage I have added

a PowerPoint about land art and an artist called Andy Goldsworthy. Have a look at the PowerPoint and talk to an adult about what you like and dislike about Andy Goldsworthy’s land art. I would then like you to have a go at creating your own piece of land art – I have included some examples below –

Please share your natural art/land art with me by emailing a photo to tigerclass@molehillprimaryacademy.org.uk
