Riddle of the day – Where does Friday come before Thursday?

Fun fact of the day – The letter ‘e’ is the most used letter in the English language. Nearly 13% of all letters are used ‘e’s. Knowing

English – Writing FocusThe last three days of Literacy will use two texts: The Mysteries of Harris Burdick by Chris Van Allsburg and an extract from the Chronicles of Harris Burdick. Both can be found here:• https://mrsgraveswebsite.weebly.com/uploads/1/2/6/8/12686140/the_mysteries_of_harris

_burdick.pdf• http://onlinereadfreenovel.com/chris-van-allsburg/36746-

the_chronicles_of_harris_burdick_14_amazing_authors_tell_the_tales.html

Read the introduction letter (available on the next slide of the PowerPoint). As you read make notes on the following questions:- Is there any vocabulary you don’t understand?- Do you have any questions?- How do you feel?

Answer the following questions:- Who was Harris Burdick?- How many stories did he say he had written?- How does the introduction letter affect the way we read the book?

English – Writing FocusProverb: a short, well-known saying, stating a general truth or piece of advice.

In ‘Under the Rug’, the author uses lots of proverbs to express the advice Grandma continually gives. Can you match the proverb to its definition?

Can you think of any proverbs that are used in everyday conversations? E.g. absence makes the heart grow fonder or a bad workman always blames his tools.

Break time – 10:15 until 10:30

Times tablesSpend 15 minutes practicing your times tables.

Times tables ideas:

• Complete some of your school times table booklet – revise and check your recall is speedy.

• Play on ‘Hit the button’ or the ‘Mathsframe times table check’ online.

• Play Nerf Tables/Splat – Stick the answers to a chosen table around the room and get asked a question. Run to/shoot the correct answer.

• See how quickly you can write down a set of times tables (multiplication and division facts). Can you beat your personal best?

• Times table bingo – Grab yourself a 1-100 grid and mark off times tables as they are read out to you.

SpellingsSpend 15 minutes practicing your spellings.

Spellings ideas:

• Acrostic poem – Chose a spelling and write an acrostic poem for that word.

• Quick write – Write the word as many times as you can within a time limit.

• Draw an image around the word – Make an association with the spelling to help you to memorise it.

• Pyramid words – Think of each letter separately and then reverse it so that you end up with a diamond.

• Silly sentences – Make up ‘silly sentences’ containing the spelling you are trying to learn e.g.

• Rainbow writing – Use coloured pencils, bubble writing, all capitals or dotted letters to make the words more memorable.

Each sentence below has one word that is incorrect. Write the correct word in the box.

The spelling mistakes in these sentences have been circled. Write the correct spelling for each circled word in the box.

Afternoon tasksThis week, I would like you to use your afternoons to start setting up some activities for you to have a go at over summer:

• https://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk/ - ‘Silly Squad’ is the new reading challenge for Summer 2020. The challenge will run until mid-September. Silly Squad is a celebration of funny books, happiness and laughter. Due to the current situation, the Summer Reading Challenge has been launched in an online format. Children are encouraged to read any books of their choice during the summer holiday and record these online, unlocking rewards as they reach their target. To take part, you can register children online in a secure two-step verification process.

• Year 5/6 spellings – Knowing the year 5 and 6 statutory spellings is a great thing to learn over summer. You will notice that over home learning, we have focused on learning these through a range of activities including speedy speller, correcting the spellings, crosswords and word searches. Spend time this week filling in the blanks on the 6 activity sheets (on the following slides) ensuring that you spell the words correctly.
