Reading:

Reading-Plus-Guide-for-Northcote-Parents

Task 1: Reading speed and questioning: Make sure you are reading daily on your Reading Plus.

Now that the weather is nice, make sure you are using some time to sit and read in sunshine. Although we cannot go out to different places, reading is able to transport us to wherever our imagination takes us.

Task 2: Reading for pleasure: Read an E-book/listen to an audio book. Discuss with somebody in your house how it compares to reading from a physical book yourself. Did you enjoy it? Why/why not?

Writing

 

Task 1:  Advertisements

Last week, you created a poster advertising the festival - The Day of the Dead. This week, you are going to continue looking at advertisements and create your own one, advertising something you love!

PART 1: First, I want you to look at the two adverts below. They are both advertising the same thing, but which advert is more effective? Which advert would make you want to buy the product and why? Can you create your own W.I.L.F. for a persuasive advert? Think about the structure and the language features used.

Document - Good vs Bad advert

 

PART 2: Next, I want you to look at the example of the poor advertisement below. Your job is to improve/up-level it to make it a good advertisement, using your W.I.L.F criteria from above.

Document - Improving an advert

 

PART 3: Create your own advert! It can be about anything you want but remember, you want people to buy your product, so selling something that you love might be easier! This may be a type of food, or a toy/game, phone, perfume, jewellery etc. Use the help sheets below to ensure you are using powerful persuasive vocabulary!

Document - Useful words and phrases

I cannot wait to see your final advertisements! Don't forget to email them to me: l.toby@northcote.liverpool.sch.uk

 

Task 2: Creative writing: 

Pobble 365 upload a new picture every day. Go on the link for one day this week and write a story about the image you can see. Make sure you tweet or email it to us so we can see what you’ve been doing – it also gives me a chance to enjoy some exciting new stories!

STORY:  The 75th Anniversary of VE Day.

QUESTION: What is VE day?

 

Since 1945, the end of World War Two in Europe has been marked by Victory in Europe Day, better known as VE Day. On 8th May 1945, Prime Minister Winston Churchill made an announcement on the radio at 3pm that the war in Europe had come to an end, following Germany’s surrender the day before. This year, the 8th May 2020 marked 75 years since the first VE Day!

Until the current Covid-19 crisis struck, there had been plans to stage celebratory events and street parties in many places. Sadly, this has all had to be cancelled but many chose to celebrate virtually; holding video parties, decorating their homes or baking to celebrate whilst in lockdown!

Take a look at this clip to learn more about the importance of VE day: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/ve-day-2020-date-about-lockdown-celebrations-a4429631.html

Task 1: Complete a drawing of the 1945 VE Day celebration

Carefully read the extract below.  It is an extract from a poem written by Jack Woods, a 12 year old evacuee at the time of the original VE Day.

 

Can you imagine how it felt hearing such positive news about the end of the war nearing?

Use the description to draw a picture of what you think the VE Day celebration might have looked like.

We would love to see your drawings of the VE Day celebration.  Don’t forget to tweet your work to @NorthcoteSch or email it to l.toby@northcote.liverpool.sch.uk

 

Task 2: On Friday 8th May, VE Day, it was also the 94th birthday of our national treasure - Sir David Attenborough! I would like you to research all about him and present your work as a poster/PPT, however you like, to answer the question below...

Why is David Attenborough's work so important?

 

 Last week, Niamh created a board game 'Roam around Rome' and also interviewed her parents to understand more about toys of the past and present. Incredible work!

 

Religious Education

 

NATRE (The National Association of Religious Education) have organised a competition that can be completed at home.  The competition is based on Spirited Arts and Spirited Poetry.  

Task: I hope you had chance to sketch some of the art pieces last week.  This week we are going to look at some poems.  Look at these examples and see if you can write your own poem about God.

 

Keywan, age 8.

Hide and Seek With God

Dad, is God real because if She is where is She?

No son he is everywhere, He’s a He, for goodness sake and He

doesn’t have a key.

If God is everywhere, Dad, is He right next to me?

No son, I didn’t mean that, I meant He’s in heaven watching all over us.

Where’s heaven, Dad?

Amand, age 7.

God In My Dance

When the music starts I feel free and happy

and the emotions that I have are so amazing and the suit

feels fluffy

and soft and some of the moves I do is pike and also straddle and

many more

When I dance I feel closer to God in every step I do

It’s like he’s always there in school

he is always supporting me

I am so lucky to have him in my life and in my heart
