Today you are going to have a go at writing your own rhyming couplets (two words that rhyme) about junk and putting them together to write your own poem. 

Reading 

Read the new text for English ready for next week. Think about any words that you don't understand and look up some of the meanings. If you also want to get a head start and start learning the text, that would be great!

Our writing is going to be continue to be based on the video from yesterday. 

Watch the video below;

https://vimeo.com/36682203

Today you are going to write the story of what happened to Toki in your own words. 

Things to remember:

• Use adjectives and adverbs to describe 
• Use capital letters, full stops and commas
• Use paragraphs to separate your ideas
• Make sure that there is a clear beginning, middle and end. 

Maths 

Complete the column subtractions. There are no exchanges on the first sheet and on the second sheet you will need to exchange. Make sure that you are trying one that you find a bit challenging, you can always do a bit of both.

Today's task: Write a letter to Toki asking him questions they would like to find out about living in the rainforest.

The letter is from you so you need to write in the first person, using first person pronouns

If you are asking questions you need to use question marks

Address and who you are writing to

Also tell Toki something about you so that it does not become a list of questions.

Bonjour from Madame Cartlidge

I am sorry that I am not going to see you in school this week, but here are some lessons for you which will prepare you for when we see each other again:

Wednesday 18th November

Please watch this BBC clip about the four countries of the UK:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/geography-ks1--ks2-the-united-kingdom/zhtgrj6

Geography KS1/KS2: The United Kingdom - BBC Teach This video gives pupils the opportunity to explore the four different countries that make up the United Kingdom. It identifies the capital, the flag and a key human and physical feature of each ... www.bbc.co.uk

Can you then find out what the flags look like for each country and choose one to draw and colour. If you are able, you could take a photo of your drawing to send in to me.

Home learning - Isolating 17th November

 Hello everyone, 

What a strange day yesterday! I hope that everyone is ready to do some online learning again. 

Keep checking the blog, I will be updating it each day.

If you can log into Google classroom, please make sure that you are doing that. If you are finding it too hard then continue learning on the blog or ring the school to let them know that you need a paper pack to do your learning. 

Follow this link for information on how to sign into google classroom (you will need your password and username that you all took home yesterday);

Maths 

Work these out using the column method that we have been learning in class. 

Here is a video that may help;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuGsP1NX78o

Here is an example.

Make sure that you are setting your working out correctly. 

English 

Yesterday, we planned out new poem (based on Talk us Through it Charlotte). Today I want you to start to write the introduction and the build up. 

What you need to remember; 

• Write in verses
• Use interesting language
• Capital letters, commas, apostrophes
• Alliteration 

Today you need to say where your character is and what they are doing (e.g. standing behind the stage with their instrument).  Then where they go and some little things that go wrong (e.g. go on stage with their band and their instruments are not tuned and they sound bad). 

If it is possible to send a picture and email it to me, that would be great! 

P.E

Do some exercise with our favourite fitness guru Joe Wicks. Here is a link to some of his 5 minute workouts.

Learning tasks if you are isolating

If you are having issues logging into Google Classrooms, please make sure you leave me a message here so that I can try and help or let Miss Kondwani know.

This is what we are doing in class at the moment:

English

Activities:

1. Learning the text. You could act it out to the adults in your house or learn it with actions.
2. Write questions that you had when you were reading through the text. Examples; What is special about the friend? Why were they not passing to her?
3. Make some changes to the text. We thought about changing it to a basketball game where the new character was not very good until the end. Try writing down you new poem.

Talk us through it, Charlotte

Well I shouldn’t’ve been playin’ really 
Only there to watch me brother
My friend fancies his friend, y’know.
Anyway they was a man short.

Stay out on the wing, they said
Give ‘em something to think about.
So I did that for about an hour;
Never passed to me or anything.

The ball kind of rebounded to me.
I thought, I’ll have a little run with it.
I mean, they wasn’t passin’ to me
Was they? So off I went.

I ran past the first boy
He sort of fell over.
It was a bit slippery on that grass
I will say that for him.

Two more of ‘em come at me
Only they sort of tackled each other
Collided – arh.*I kept going.
There was this great big fat boy.

One way or another I kicked it 
Through his legs and run round him.
That took a time. Me brother
Was shouting, Pass it to me, like.

Well like I said, I’d been there an hour.
They never give me a pass
Never even spoke to me
Or anything. So I kept going.

Beat this other boy somehow
Then there was just the goalie.
Out he came, spreadin’ himself
As they say. I was really worried.

I thought he was going to hug me.
So I dipped me shoulder like they do
And the goalie moved one was, y’know
And I slammed it in the net.

Turned out afterwards it was the winner.
The manager said I was very good.
