Owl Class Homework – Week Commencing 15th October

Well done everyone for your fantastic homework looking at square numbers last week. I can see that many of you are really getting to grips with this now and applying in your school work . Well done!

This week I would like you to recap the work we have been doing in maths this week on Multiplication of 4 digit numbers by a 2 digit number. Please complete the following Worksheet. There are three levels of challenge so please select the one which you feel most comfortable with and when you get the hang of it you could perhaps have a go at the next level of challenge! The answers are attached at the end of the sheet (No peeping!).

Please forward completed work to myself or Nikki in the office. If you are able to scan and send your work to me again this way that is fantastic. If not a photograph of the worksheet will also be fine. If none of these are options then again, please just let me know!

As always, parents and carers thank you for your support.  If you have any suggestions as to how we can improve our Homework or have any queries please do get in touch!

Good morning, here are your tasks for today:

*English – Today, begin by reading the next page in our text and looking at the image of the French cafe where Lydia’s parents work.

IMG_1070

IMG_1069

Did you spot Lydia’s parents in the picture?  What do you think they feel about their jobs?

Take a look at the photos below of French cafes and restaurants.  You could even listen to some French music too using the YouTube link.  Add some speech/thought bubbles to explain what the people in the pictures might be saying/thinking.

Cafe pictures

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUKC5RAjUdg

What do you think the atmosphere would be like in these cafes?  What could we see/hear?  I think there would be lots of hustle and bustle, people chatting, laughing etc.  Add some ideas to the see/hear grid below (I have added some ideas to get you started).  Focus on expanded noun phrases (tinkling piano keys) as well as prepositional phrases (where things are i.e. in the corner of the cafe).

See hear grid Wednesday

We will be using these ideas in our writing tomorrow.

*Maths – Today, we are going to have some more practise of the short multiplication method for multiplying that we started yesterday.  Below are pages of calculations to have a go at (choose whichever level you feel is most appropriate for you – the first is an easier Year 5 page (p.36), second image is Year 5 (p.37)and the final image is Year 6 (p.11) as it tackles multiplying whole and decimal numbers.

Year 5 easier Year 5 Year 6 whole numbers and decimals

*Reading – make sure that you are reading for at least 10 minutes per day.

Good morning, here are your tasks for today:

*English – Today, we are going to write a description of the scene from yesterday’s section of text where Lydia’s mother was sewing a star onto Lydia’s coat.  In your description, you need to get a balance of action, description and speech.  Take a look at the attached model.  In this, I have tried to use some speech sandwiches!  These aren’t snacks but follows this pattern – speaker 1 speaks, speaker 1 does something, speaker 2 does something, something happens in the background, speaker 2 speaks.  See if you can spot each of these elements in my model then have a go at writing your own.

Scene writing model 13.10.20

*Maths – Take a look at the attached PowerPoint on multiplication.  It is aimed at Year 5 as it is a revision of short multiplication as it may have been a while since we looked at it together.  When you have worked through the PowerPoint, have ago at the worksheet you feel most confident with i.e. Expected, completing both the VF (varied fluency) and RPS (reasoning and problem solving) for your chosen level.

Year-5-Spring-Block-1-Step-1-PPT-Multiply-4-Digits-by-1-Digit

Year-5-Spring-Block-1-Step-1-RPS-Multiply-4-Digits-by-1-Digit

Year-5-Spring-Block-1-Step-1-VF-Multiply-4-Digits-by-1-Digit

 

*Science – This week, we are finished off our work started last week on how we see things.  Last week, we looked at the PowerPoint on the eye and labelled the different parts.  The PowerPoint is below if you need to refresh your memory.

ES6.5.4TheEye

Today, we are having a go at making a pinhole camera using the link to the site below.

https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/explore/books/pinhole-camera/

Next, we will be writing an explanation on how the eye works using the key names and information from the PowerPoint.

*Reading – make sure that you are reading for at least 10 minutes per day.

Record your work in the book sent home from school.  Please send copies/photos of your work to the admin email address.

Good morning, here are your tasks for today:

*English – We are continuing to look at our new text: ‘Star of Fear, Star of Hope’ by Jo Hoestlandt.  Begin by reading the attached quotes -some of which are from our text and some are from another text called ‘Erica’s story’.  Highlight any key words i.e. hope, star etc.  Can you predict what the story will be about from these quotes?  Also, take a look at the front cover to help you.  Jot down your ideas.

Quotes

Star of hope, star of fear front cover

Next, look at the image of the 2 girls playing together.  When could the story be set?  What clues could you look at?  Look at the clothes, toys, hairstyles etc.

IMG_1067

Now, read the text below that goes with the picture above.

IMG_1068

What have we found out?  What type of story is this?  Look at the tense change from present to past – what does this show us about when Helen is writing this story?  (She is writing in the present day and flashing back to her memories of 1942.  What does Lydia’s mother mean about the star she is sewing on?  Do you agrees with her statement about stars at the end of the page?

Think about the scene between the 3 characters – what questions might Helen and Lydia want to ask Lydia’s mother?

Tomorrow, we will be writing about this scene using speech and speech punctuation.

*Maths – Take a look at the attached PowerPoint and then complete the worksheets for your year group.  Each year group’s section has 2 worksheets (3 levels of difficulty – developing, expected and greater depth) and the answers.  Remember that you only need to complete one level for each area – VF (varied fluency) and RPS (reasoning and problem solving).

Year-6-Autumn-Block-2-RPS-Mental-Calculations

Year-6-Autumn-Block-2-VF-Mental-Calculations

*History – Today, we are looking at the way in which people were encouraged to ‘do their bit’ in World War II.  We will be thinking about the work of the Home Guard and the Women’s Land Army.  Use the link below to find out about both of these groups.  Make some notes in your book.
