Home Learning Work
Thursday, 13th January
To begin with, I'd like you to write a character description of Snow-White (as well as completing the 2 grammar exercises on the sheet below). I have included some pictures of Snow-White that you could use, and you may find it helpful to use the noun/adjective/verb/adverb table
| snow-white.pdf |
Next, for maths, you will need someone to work with. Below is a game that you will need to play in a pair with dice and counters. Start at the starting point, roll the dice and , instead of moving forward the number on the dice, substitute the number you roll for 'd' on the square, then move forward that number (or sometimes you need to move back!). Remember to always do what is in brackets first. The first person round the board 3 times is the winner.

Henry King by Hillaire Belloc
The Chief Defect of Henry King
Was chewing little bits of String.
At last he swallowed some which tied
Itself in ugly Knots inside.
Physicians of the Utmost Fame
Were called at once; but when they came
They answered, as they took their Fees,
"There is no Cure for this Disease.
"Henry will very soon be dead.''
His Parents stood about his Bed
Lamenting his Untimely Death,
When Henry, with his Latest Breath,
Cried, "Oh, my Friends, be warned by me,
That Breakfast, Dinner, Lunch, and Tea
Are all the Human Frame requires...''
With that, the Wretched Child expires.

Watch the Easter assembly, featuring the Class 5 Easter video - https://www.trinity.shropshire.sch.uk/easter-assembly.html
Poetry - Read the poem ‘The Cast of Christmas Reassembles for Easter’ (below).
This is written as if Christmas and Easter were plays and the cast is coming back to reprise their roles. It sounds as if they are all being welcomed back by the director.
Read it really carefully and see if you can understand any of the references e.g.
‘Take the wise men to the Emperor's palace
Wash their hands in water.
Get them to say something about truth.’
refers to Pontius Pilate (the Roman leader) asking Jesus ‘What is truth?’ and then washing his hands in front of the crowd to show that he believed Jesus was not guilty and he did not accept responsibility for his death (that’s a tricky one – there are easier references!)
Print out the poem and then you can annotate it with your ideas.

And you just can't catch 'em when they do!
So its Ning Nang Nong
Cows go Bong!

Trees go ping
Nong Ning Nang
The mice go Clang
What a noisy place to belong

Maths – mean
The mean is the average. For example, if we wanted to find out how well someone had done in a test, you would find the mean average score for the class. Anyone above this would have done well, anyone below it, not so well.
Watch this video to show how to find the mean average (111) The mean - Corbettmaths - YouTube
Have a go at the sheet – it is the same for Y5 and Y6. Remember – add up all the scores, then divide by the number of scores there are.

Geography – Is buying Fairtrade worth it?
We have been looking at the benefits of Fairtrade since the beginning of the term, but there are arguments against Fairtrade too. On the sheet there are a number of arguments for and against Fairtrade. Read them then put them into two categories – for Fairtrade and Against Fairtrade
There are many ways you could do this - you could cut them out and stick them in the right column; you could write For/Against on each box; you could colour code them or you could write them out, for example.
Tomorrow during English, we will be writing a persuasive argument for or against Fairtrade – so keep this work handy – you will need it for your writing.

As we have already discussed, plastic bags can have a very bad influence on our environment – watch this video for some reasons why: (97) Here's how plastic bags impact the environment - YouTube
Your task is to plan a magazine article, aimed at people your age, about why we should not use any more plastic bags. Think of three main reasons. You will need to gather evidence and statistics to include in your article – this website might help: 10 Facts About Single-use Plastic Bags (biologicaldiversity.org)
You will need to plan an introduction, 3 main paragraphs and a conclusion.
We will be writing this tomorrow, today is only planning.
Spelling – to double or not?
When you add a suffix starting with a vowel, the spelling rule depends on whether the last syllable is stressed or not – if it is, then double the final consonant.
e.g.
Garden + er = gardener, but begin + er = beginner
Sort these words into 2 groups – ‘consonant not doubled’ or ‘consonant doubled’
listen + ed, listen + er, garden + er, water + ing, forgot + en, garden + ing, begin + er, upset + ing
If the consonant needs to be doubled, then double it.
Then copy and complete these sentences, identifying and correcting the misspelled word.
1) Janice prefered chocolate ice-cream.
2) Ada had forgoten to buy a card for her mum
3) Danu’s teacher is transfering him to Class 2.
4) Kay was begining to enjoy tennis.
5) Ms Jones presentted the school prizes.

You will need to gather evidence and statistics to include in your article – this website might help: 10 Facts About Single-use Plastic Bags (biologicaldiversity.org)
You will need to plan an introduction, 3 main paragraphs and a conclusion.
We will be writing this tomorrow, today is only planning.
Spelling – to double or not?
When you add a suffix starting with a vowel, the spelling rule depends on whether the last syllable is stressed or not – if it is, then double the final consonant.
e.g.
Garden + er = gardener, but begin + er = beginner
Sort these words into 2 groups – ‘consonant not doubled’ or ‘consonant doubled’
listen + ed, listen + er, garden + er, water + ing, forgot + en, garden + ing, begin + er, upset + ing
If the consonant needs to be doubled, then double it.
Then copy and complete these sentences, identifying and correcting the misspelled word.
1) Janice prefered chocolate ice-cream.
2) Ada had forgoten to buy a card for her mum
3) Danu’s teacher is transfering him to Class 2.
4) Kay was begining to enjoy tennis.
5) Ms Jones presentted the school prizes.

RE- the Sermon on the Mount
The Gospel of Matthew tells us that when Jesus had been baptised by John the Baptist and had returned from his 40 days in the wilderness, he began to travel around the country, preaching and giving sermons. "Now when He saw the crowds, He went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to Him, and He began to teach them..." This, Jesus’ most famous sermon, is known as the Sermon on the Mount.
In the document below are 15 things that Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount. Choose 8 sayings from the Sermon on the Mount, suggest what you think it means, then summarise each of the 8 sayings with one topic word and a phrase of seven words or fewer.
e.g. ‘The thing you should want most is God’s kingdom and doing what God wants. Then all these other things you need will be given to you. So don’t worry about tomorrow. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Tomorrow will have its own worries.’ might become
‘ Tomorrow – do God’s work, don’t worry about tomorrow’
What does Jesus think people are like if he needs to give this sermon? Is he right?
Which of these sayings would make most difference in the world today? Why?

Poem of the Week- how doth the little crocodile (more Lewis Carroll)
This is a parody (a spoof) of a moralistic poem ‘How doth the little busy bee’ which talks of the bee’s hard work. The crocodile’s virtue is tricking fish to eat them!
How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!
How cheerfully he seems to grin
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in
With gently smiling jaws!
Write down the rhyming pattern, then copy out the poem in your best handwriting. Illustrate it with one picture.
This is the original poem - which do you prefer?
How doth the little busy bee - Isaac Watts
How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower!
How skillfully she builds her cell!
How neat she spreads the wax!
And labors hard to store it well
With the sweet food she makes.
In works of labor or of skill,
I would be busy too;
For Satan finds some mischief still
For idle hands to do.
In books, or work, or healthful play,
Let my first years be passed,
That I may give for every day
Some good account at last.

Maths – today we are going to learn how to divide fractions by whole numbers. This may sound complicated by really, once you know how to do it, it is very easy and very satisfying.
Watch this video to show you how it’s done: (95) Dividing Fractions by Whole Numbers | How to Divide a Fraction by a Whole Number - YouTube
Now have a go at these sheets. Yr 5s = you only need to do 12 of these. Yr 6s can decide whether to do Ch. 1&2 or 2&3

Geography –this week and next make up Fairtrade Fortnight
Watch the PowerPoint to find out what this means. If you don’t have PowerPoint on your device, look at the pdf. This is the link to the final video, if it does not work on the pdf-https://schools.fairtrade.org.uk/teaching-resources/change-the-world-through-your-choices/
We are going to take part in the ‘vision of the world you want’ project. The poster below explains a bit more but basically you are invited to show how you would like this world to be fair – you can use artwork, poem, prose or film and then email it (with parents’ permission) to schools@fairtrade.org.uk – by March 1st. It may then be used as part of a web-wide exhibition.
(If you don’t want to be part of the exhibition, you can just email it to me.)
Look at the Home Learning Grid. Over the next 2 weeks, see if you do one or more of these activities.

English – today we are looking at cause and effect connectives (also called causal conjunctions), because they are often used in persuasive writing, consequently making your writing more powerful.
Look at the presentation – if you have PowerPoint on your device then watch the show, otherwise you can see it as a pdf.
Then complete the worksheet.

Maths – today we are multiplying fractions by fractions and this is the easiest of all operations to do with fractions: you just multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator.
The only tricky part may be if you need to simplify your answer.
Watch this video (95) Multiplying Fractions by Fractions | How to Multiply Fractions | 5th Grade Math - YouTube
NB if the questions says 1/5 of 1/3, it means multiplying= 1/5 x 1/3
Now have a go at the appropriate sheet.

Science – this half term we are looking at materials and today we are thinking about how we can classify (group) different materials.
A material is the matter from which something is made, e.g. a straw is made from plastic or a book is made from paper.
A material is the matter from which something is made, e.g. a straw is made from plastic or a book is made from paper.
- Start by listing as many materials as you can – look around for some inspiration.
You will spot that most things are made from more than one material. - Now you will need a collection of 12 objects – a good idea would be to get them from a kitchen drawer (no knives!) or perhaps a toy collection. Try to get a good range of materials.
You need to sort them into groups according to the properties.
Try to limit the number of properties to two if possible (3 maximum)
Here are two ways that I thought of:

Make a list of the ways you sorted the objects.
If you get stuck, there are examples of what other groups have thought of on the attached file.

RE – this half term we are going to look at the Gospel and what it is.
The Gospel is the first four books of the New Testament, which tell the story of Jesus’ life.
Find out who wrote these four books.
The Gospel is a collection of Jesus’ teachings, parables and the narrative of his life.
Many Christians use the Gospels to answer the question ‘What would Jesus do?’ This saying, often abbreviated to WWJD, has become very popular with people who want to follow Jesus and apply his teachings to their lives. If you look on the internet, you can see how popular it is because there are hundreds of things you can buy with ‘WWJD’ on them, from wristbands to mugs, keyrings and posters!
One of the stories in the Gospel is that of The Wise and Foolish Builders (Matthew 7:24–27). Read it (below) and try to decide what lesson Jesus was trying to teach –hint : it is not advice to builders!
You can watch a video of the story here - (95) The Parable of the Two Builders ~ Animation - YouTube

Welcome back! Hope you all had a fantastic and restful half term and are all raring to go!
English – we are going to be looking at persuasive writing for the next few weeks. Today we are going to identify the feature of persuasive writing.
Look at the pdf which lists features of persuasive writing.
Remember a rhetorical question is a question that does not need an answer e.g. ‘Do you want to live in a world with no trees?’ or ‘Do you think I’m mad?’
Emotive language means using words or phrases which are designed to get a response out of the reader e.g. rather than ‘nice’ you may write ‘brilliant’, ‘fascinating’, ‘out of this world’ or ‘phenomenal’.
Situations are often exaggerated in persuasive writing, too – instead of ‘ a pleasant trip’ you might say,’ the time of your life, luxuriating in the vehicle of your dreams, seeing sights you could never imagine’.
Now read the ‘Mobile phone’ argument. Some of these features are used in this writing. Identify, underline or highlight then label them. Once you have done that, you can compare with the one I have annotated.

Spelling – today we are looking at silent letters. These words usually relate to how the words were originally pronounced, and where they came from.
For example, knight originally comes from Germany, then Old English (‘cnicht’) and, yes, the first c was pronounced.
Knife, knock, know, knee, gnat, gnaw all originally come from the Viking language – in Sweden they still say the silent letter in knife (kneefe)
Plumber has a silent b as it comes from the Latin word "plumbum" for lead (they used lead pipes)
Doubt, debt, receipt and have silent letters which were added in the 16th century to make them more Latin (!)
Daughter, night, light, bright, dough, bough have a silent gh because they come from Anglo Saxon and gh used to be pronounced ‘h’
Look at these words and identify the silent letters - doubt, island, lamb, solemn, thistle, knight, sandwich, handsome, subtle, knead. (Most of you will need to learn these words for your spelling test this week)
If you like, you could try and find out why two of them are spelled as they are

Maths – this week we are looking at fractions and today we will be revisiting adding and subtracting fractions.
Remember – the important thing here is that you need to make the denominator the same in both fractions.
Watch these videos to remind you how to add and subtract fractions. Year 5s only need to look at the first 2 videos (unless you are happy with adding and subtracting and want to move on). The mixed number video is for the Year 6s.
(97) Adding Fractions with Different Denominators - Primary - YouTube
(97) Subtracting Fractions - YouTube
(97) Adding and Subtracting Mixed Numbers - YouTube
Now you can do the appropriate worksheet – Y5s can choose whether to start at bronze or silver level. The final question is optional - if you do it, add the pairs of numbers then put the answer in the box above. Y6s as usual, can choose to do Ch 1&2 or 2&3
Y6 answers- please ignore the insanity that is the answer given to Challenge 2 question 3 - the answer is, of course, 1/4

Poetry (and art)– What I saw (Anonymous)
Read this poem and then draw a picture including some of the wondrous thing that were seen.
NB – a pismire is an ant.
Can you see the rhyming pattern?
What I Saw
I Saw a Peacock with a fiery tail
I saw a blazing Comet drop down hail
I saw a Cloud with Ivy circled round
I saw a sturdy Oak creep on the ground
I saw a Pismire swallow up a Whale
I saw a raging Sea brim full of Ale
I saw a Venice Glass Sixteen foot deep
I saw a Well full of men's tears that weep
I saw their Eyes all in a flame of fire
I saw a House as big as the Moon and higher
I saw the Sun even in the midst of night
I saw the Man that saw this wondrous sight.
(Oh – and the capital letters are part of the poem, not mistakes!)

Geography – Bean to Bar
Today we are looking at the journey of chocolate from beans, growing on a tree, to being bought as a chocolate bar.
There is quite a lot of printing out, cutting and sticking, but alternatively, you could open the document as a Word document (if your device allows) and copy and paste the captions and descriptions to the correct place. Otherwise, you could write them in (you may need to shorten the photo descriptions a little)
Think about similarities and differences between the journey of a banana from last week

There are 1000 kilograms in a tonne
So, to convert kilograms to tonnes, you will need to divide by 1000 (568 kg = 0.569 tonnes)
To convert tonnes to kilograms, you need to multiply by 1000. (34.7 tonnes = 34700 kg)

Poem of the Week – the Witches’ Spell from Macbeth
Macbeth is a play by William Shakespeare, who is acknowledged as Britain’s greatest playwright. In this play, three witches are brewing up a spell just before they meet Macbeth and convince him to kill the King of Scotland and take his throne.
It was written in 1606, so naturally there are lots of unfamiliar words – highlight them. You will need them for tomorrow’s English task.

Maths – solving problems involving multiplying decimals
Today you are going to put into practice what you have learned this week, by solving some problems involving multiplying decimals by whole numbers.
Everyone needs to do the first sheet, then there is an extension sheet with some mastery questions , if you want to have a go.
* If you were in school yesterday, we (accidentally ) did this work so I would like you to do yesterday's maths instead. Sorry about that!

Art – if you are still working on your mask, keep at it. Otherwise, see if you can make a model spaceship (out of anything you have to hand). Take a picture of it and send it in.
Wednesday, 3rd February
Request - could you all please send me your maths test results from last Friday - I don't need the papers (though keep them and we'll look at them when we get back) but I do need the results. Thanks . If you didn't do the test, then do it today instead of today's maths
English – Creating a double page spread on the Space Race
Use your notes from yesterday to create a two-page spread on the Space Race. Try to include the following:
- Title/ subtitles
-Text box
- Bullet-point list
-Labelled diagram
- Pictures/photos with captions
-Table
-Glossary
We will be doing this tomorrow too, so you don’t need to rush – take your time and make it as informative and attractive as possible.
If you didn't get a chance to make notes or you want a few more - below you will find some of the notes we made in class today - feel free to use if necessary

Maths – multiplying decimals x whole numbers using the formal method
This is the same method as HTO x O – the easiest way to do it is multiply without the decimals and then put them back in at the end. The same rule as yesterday applies - count the number of digits after the decimal point – there should be the same number in the answer as in the question. This video explains it in more detail - (73) Multiply a Whole Number by a Decimal | Math with Mr. J - YouTube
There is a page of problems for everyone to have a go at solving. There is also an extension sheet which you can have a go at if you like – it is in the form of a game, but if you don’t have anyone to play against, you could just do the calculations and then check them with a calculator yourself.

Geography – supply chains.
Read the sheet entitled ‘Supply Chains’ and complete the task included.
Now do the Banana split activity. Read the information, which tells you about the people involved in growing bananas and bringing them to the UK to be sold. (These are conventional bananas not fair trade ones)
Imagine that each banana is sold for 30p. After reading the information, decide how much money you think each person gets from that 30p.
Once you have made your decision, compare it with the answer sheet.
Answer these questions:
Do you think this is a fair situation?
Why is the 30p shared out as it is?
Who has power and why?
What could be done to improve the situation?
What role can we play as the people who buy the bananas?
Would you be prepared to pay more for your bananas if you knew workers and farmers got a price that would enable them to meet their basic needs?
(These questions are also on the answer sheet)

Science – the Space Race (Do this before today’s English session, please)
The Space Race was a competition of space exploration between the Soviet Union (Russia) and the United States, which lasted from 1957 to 1969, eventually centred around which country would put a man on the Moon first. This week we are going to find out more about the Space Race and its legacy.
Below is worksheet about key events in Space Exploration (including some dates after 1969). See if you can research what happened at each date.
This website - https://www.spacekids.co.uk/spacehistory/ may be helpful.
If you come across any other interesting dates, you could add this to the timeline.

Spelling – generating words from prefixes (2)
Look at these prefixes and
e.g.
Prefix - extra
Meaning/derivation - outside/beyond (Latin)
Word 1 - extract - remove or take out
Word 2 - extraordinary - beyond the ordinary/ special
Word 3 - extravagant - spending beyond what is necessary
Look at these prefixes and
- Find the meaning of the prefix and where it came from (using a dictionary or the internet)
- Find 3 words which start with each prefix and explain what they mean, based on the prefix
e.g.
Prefix - extra
Meaning/derivation - outside/beyond (Latin)
Word 1 - extract - remove or take out
Word 2 - extraordinary - beyond the ordinary/ special
Word 3 - extravagant - spending beyond what is necessary
Maths – multiplying by decimals mentally
This lesson is all about knowing your tables and related facts.
7 x 8 = 56 so 0.7 x 8 = 5.6 and 0.07 = 0.56
A quick way to check if you are on the right lines is to count the number of digits after the decimal point – there should be the same number in the answer as in the question
0.09 (2 digits after decimal point) x 3 =0.27 (2 digits after decimal point)
0.9 (1 digit) x 3 = 2.7 (1 digit)

Possible subheadings could be:
- USSR v USA’s Cold War
- What was the Space Race?
- Russia’s achievements
- USA’s achievements
- A man on the Moon
- After the Cold War
(But you can make your own up if you like)
It is important that you get into the habit of making notes from different sources and not just copying out .

RE – the ‘Five Marks of Mission’
The ‘Five Marks of Mission’ of the Church of England (TELL, TEACH, TEND, TRANSFORM, TREASURE) are five things that Christians can do to serve and transform society.
Look at the sheet below, which gives a bit more information, and then see if you can think of something that a person could actually do to fulfil each of these ‘Marks of Mission’. (You could include things that we have already looked at if you like, e.g. Tearfund volunteers praying with and for homeless people in Colombia for Tell).
Then choose one of these Marks and make a poster that could be used to remind Christians what they are expected to do – try to get your message across using a picture rather than lots of words.

Nice to hear about everybody's reading on Friday - keep it up! Try and get at least 20 minutes reading done daily , please. If you are running out of reading material, the Oak Academy and the National Literacy Trust are making a book a week available online here - this week The Girl Who Stole an Elephant has been added.
Weekly Quiz - Well done to Freya who got full marks in the weekly quiz. Some mistakes that occured more than once:
- You only need a full stop with a bullet point if it is a full sentence
- Mars has 2 moons
- A reflex angle is greater than 180 but less than 360 degrees
- You only get to see one side of the Moon because it spins around once in the same length of time it takes to orbit Earth

English – Glossary work
A glossary is often found at the end of an information book. It is a list of words which may be new to the reader, in alphabetical order, with their definitions.
Below is a glossary, but the definitions have all got mixed up. See if you can put them back into the right order – you could either copy them out, or cut and stick them in the right order. Then you can check them with the answers.
Next, you need to write your own glossary – on any subject that interests you. It needs to have at least 6 words and their definitions – in alphabetical order.
If you have any information books at home, have a look in them and see if you can find a glossary.

Spelling – generating words from prefixes
The word ‘etymology’ means the study of where words come from. Today we are looking at the etymology of prefixes and how this helps us to spell and understand meaning.
bi aqua super trans tele circum
Look at the prefixes above and
Prefix - bi
Meaning/derivation two (Latin)
Word 1 bicycle
Word 2 biped
Word 3 binary
(You could do it as a table, if you like)

English (and geography) – information texts – gathering information
The first step in writing an information text is to gather the information and make notes (including recording any statistics or quotes). There are many ways to do this – mind mapping, spider diagrams, bullet-pointed lists etc. Today, we are going to practise making notes on a planning sheet using subheadings.
Important – when you make notes, you put the information into your own words – you do not just copy out whole sentences/sections of another text.
We are going to find out about the Fairtrade Foundation. Go to https://www.fairtrade.org.uk/what-is-fairtrade/ and you will find lots of information, including statistics.

Poem of the week – The Walrus and the Carpenter
You can read this poem at The Walrus and the Carpenter by Lewis Carroll | Poetry Foundation and also listen to the poem being read aloud.
It is from Lewis Carroll’s book Alice through the Looking Glass written in 1871 (a sequel to Alice in Wonderland). Like many of Lewis Carroll’s poems (e.g. ‘You are old, Father William’), it is a bit bonkers, but good fun.
See if you can identify the rhyming pattern.
Choose your favourite verse and write it out in joined handwriting, as neatly as you can.

You don’t have to include all the information, but try to include most of it. You can use the image included in the text and/or add your own pictures/sketches etc.
The point of this exercise is to explore how to set out information, not write your own. If you want to add facts etc. that you find, you can do so, but this is not essential.

Maths – ‘All about angles’
Look at the Maths Mastery document, which is in the form of questions, but also shows the answers so it is useful as revision of the concepts you may need today.
Useful to remember:
Acute means less than 90o
Obtuse means between 90o and 180o
Right angle is 90o
Reflex angle is between 180o and 360o
Angle AOB means the angle created between point A-O and O-B
Challenge 3 requires a protractor, so if you don’t have one, just do Challenges 1 and 2.
NOTE - we have just discovered more mistakes in the answer book - Challenge 2 part 1 c is 45o and d is 65o (also sorry about the way I have to write 'degrees' - I can't get it to do superscript!)

English – information texts – bullet points
One of the devices often used in information pages are bullet points. They are used to draw attention to important or key points in a document so they can be identified and read quickly and easily.
One of the devices often used in information pages are bullet points. They are used to draw attention to important or key points in a document so they can be identified and read quickly and easily.
- The text introducing the list of bullet points should end with a colon (:)
- If it is not a proper full sentence, it does not need to begin with a capital letter or end with a full stop e.g.
- playing
- jumping
- shouting
- Start with the same word class e.g.
- playing is not allowed
- screaming is not allowed

Science – the Moon
Today we are going to learn about the movement of the Moon relative to the Earth. One very important fact is that the Moon spins on its axis at the same rate that it revolves around the Earth, so the same side is always facing us.
Begin by looking at the Powerpoint below (in both Powerpoint Show and pdf format).
Then you could look at these videos, which explain more

English – information texts
For the next few weeks, we are going to be looking at how to write information texts.
Look at the Octopus information page below. Read it carefully then think about how it has been set out. What devices have been used to help us understand the information clearly (as opposed to it being a solid piece of text)?
Make a list and when you have finished, compare it with the list below.
Add anything missing to your original list.
Now look at the text again and identify how these have been used here.
If you have any information books at home, look at these and see if you can spot any of these devices in these books.

Maths – Angles
This week we are going to learn how to use our knowledge about triangles and other 2d shapes to work out missing angles.
Watch this video to find out how to find missing angles in polygons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqmAu3N6n6s
The really important things to remember is that there are 180o in triangles and 360o in quadrilaterals
Also useful:
Parallel lines mean that the lines stay the same distance apart at all times
Perpendicular means at right angles to
Bisect means cut exactly in half
In an isosceles triangle, 2 of the angles are the same
In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal
There is a straightforward sheet (for everyone) and an extension sheet (optional). Both are for Yr 5s and Yr 6s

Maths – an introduction to algebra – using letters
This sheet has a number of calculations, written the same way as you wrote out the racetrack calculations yesterday, as algebraic expressions. Work out what they mean then give the answers e.g.
‘If w= 25, what is (w-15) + 12’ becomes ‘25-15+ 12’ = ‘10 +12’ = 22
These are for both Yr 5s and Yr 6s.
The second sheet is an extension sheet, which you can have a go at if you like. In this sheet, ‘’n’ always stands for an unknown number and you have to work out what ‘n’ is. You can do this by working backwards and doing the inverse operation (the opposite) so
‘3n + 4 = 19’ becomes ‘19 – 4 ÷ 3’ which is ‘15 ÷3 = 5’ so n=5
NB (thanks to David) There was a marking mistake in the answers for the extension. Question 11 is supposed to be 2, not 5. Thanks!

Poem of the Week - The Charge of the Light Brigade by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
This poem is about the heroism of a brigade of British soldiers at the Battle of Balaklava (1854), which was fought against the Russians in the Crimean War. The 600 troops of the brigade followed poorly thought -out orders to charge a heavily defended position though they knew they had little chance of survival.
See if you can find the line which means that a mistake was made.

Maths – an introduction to algebra
Today you are going to play a game (Racetrack), so you will need a counter and a dice. If you have someone to play against, that’s great. If not, you can play on your own – you will need to go around the racetrack three times, following the instructions carefully.
Once you have played the game, look carefully at the instructions on each square. We are going to learn how to write them in a mathematical way.
The number that you roll using the dice will always be called ‘d’. (The actual number can change every time, so we use ‘d’ to stand for it. It could just as well be ? or N or any other letter – it’s just that ‘d’ stands for dice)
So, ‘Multiply by 2 and subtract 4’ becomes ‘number on the dice x 2, -4’ which we write as ‘d x 2 -4’ (or, to be strictly accurate, we write it as 2d – 4 because 2d means the same as 2 x d. At the moment, you can use either one)
‘Subtract from 5’ becomes ‘5-d’
‘Subtract 3 then multiply by 2’ becomes ‘(d-3) x 2’ (we need the brackets because of BODMAS)
And so on…
These are called algebraic expressions
You now need to take the Empty Racetrack sheet and rewrite the same instructions as the original, but this time in this mathematical way, using ‘d’.
Then you can play it again.

English – stories with flashbacks.
Your final piece of writing for this topic will be your own story. Choose one of these story starters, then carry on the story, using everything we have learned about flashbacks.
I looked around me - dazed, confused. Where was I? More importantly, who was I? I felt a bump on the top of my head, and there was blood on the floor. A large parcel lay a few feet in front of me. Seeing the parcel triggered off something in my mind, and a memory started to unfold, like a film I'd never seen before...
So here I am, microphone in hand, about to sing in front of 100 million people across the world. The cameras are on me, and the audience has fallen silent in anticipation. How did this happen, you ask? How did I, Katie Skipton - an ordinary 11-year-old schoolgirl just a couple of days ago - get to become an overnight superstar? Glad you asked. Sit back, relax, and let me tell you about the craziest day of my entire life...
He pointed the gun squarely at my head. "Your last chance to tell me how and where you came across the bag of diamonds. Tell me or I'll pull the trigger." "Okay, okay, just - just put the gun down." I sighed a long, thoughtful sigh as I reluctantly began my story. "Here goes...It all started this morning when I was driving to work..."
The memory is always the same. I will never forget it. ‘I am running…..
There is no need to rush this –you don’t need to finish it today – we will be carrying on with it tomorrow, so just do the first 2 or 3 paragraphs.

Geography – needs vs wants; Africa vs UK
Today we are going to think about the difference between wants and needs.
Write a list of 6 things that you need to be happy and healthy?
Of those things, what are the most important?
Of those things, what are the least important?
A need is something a person has to have in order to to survive and a want is something that is nice to have.
Look at the following list – divide the items into two categories: needs and wants, then make a list of the basic needs all humans need to live a healthy and happy life.
Healthy food Car
Television Clean water
Shelter Holidays abroad
Clothes Mobile phone
Bicycle Medicine
Computer Education
There are many places in Africa where these basic needs are not met, as people do not have enough money to pay for them. For example, many cocoa farmers are not paid enough to meet their basic needs, despite working very hard.
This is where organisations such as Fairtrade come in. Look at the Powerpoint below to find out a little about their work (there is a pdf version if Powerpoint does not work on your device.)
If you would like to find out a bit more about Côte d’Ivoire (where Therese comes from), click here Ivory Coast country profile - BBC News .
See if you can find 5 similarities between the UK and Côte d’Ivoire and 5 differences.

Science – Day and night
Today we are thinking about what we have day and night on Earth. The following videos explain this clearly.
Earth's orbit of the Sun - KS2 Science - BBC Bitesize
Day and night - KS2 Science - BBC Bitesize
Physics KS3/KS4: Professor Brian Cox - Why do we have days, nights and seasons? - BBC Teach
When you have watched them, answer the questions below, then fill in one of the worksheets from the file below – remember one star is the easier, three stars the more difficult.
Questions
1) What causes day and night?
2) Why is it dark at night?
3) Is it night for the whole planet at the same time?
4) When it is noon in one part of the world, where will it be midnight?
5) In what direction does the Sun appear to rise? Why?
6) In what direction does the Sun appear to set? Why?
7) Which direction does the planet rotate?
8) How long does it take for the Earth to rotate once?
9) Where in the world is it the same time as the UK and why?
Why not try out the orange/lamp investigation that Professor Brian Cox did in the third video?
This website shows day and night across the globe (You only get it free for a short time, but it should be enough to get the idea)
Look at the photo below. This is Jack's shadow, shown at hourly intervals. Why does it appear to move? If we ever get any sun (!), you could try this with a stick, outside.

Retell the story of The Piano (The Piano by Aidan Gibbons on Vimeo), using the sentence starters etc. that we wrote last week. Write it as if you are the old man – in the first person.
Remember to use a CAPITAL I when you talk about yourself. Start a new paragraph for each new memory.
Use the marking ladder (below) to make sure you are hitting all the points you need to.

Spelling – cial and tial words
Last term, we looked at words ending in the –tious and –cious suffix (fictitious, vicious, cautious, malicious etc). This week we are going to look at another tricky word ending where we have to make a decision – is it cial or tial? They sound the same (shul)!
Use the table format (below) to explore some of these words
Identify the root word
Explain what it means
Guess why it is spelled tial or cial
Use a dictionary – if you don’t have one, you could use dictionary.com

Maths – an introduction to algebra – function machines
A function machine is something (like an imaginary robot or machine) which changes numbers according to a rule.
So, if you input 6 and the function machine always adds 5, then the output would be 11
Look at the Powerpoint show or pdf below to see this in action.
There is a sheet to complete and an extension sheet (Output 2), if you want. These are for both Yr 5s and Yr 6s.
The idea in the extension sheet is to get as close to the target number as possible, using 2 function machines - so if you start with 7 and the target number is 20, you could write
7 +3 x2 = 20 (target number = 20) 0 (Write how far off you are in the final box)
If you wanted to make it really tricky, you could roll a dice to see what number you have to use, instead of using your own! (You can still use your own operations, though)
There is an answer sheet for the first sheet, but the answers will vary for the extension task.

English – stories with flashbacks. Look at the pictures you placed in order yesterday. Each one represents a shift in time, sometimes from past to present or present to past; other times from one time in the past to another. It is important to be able to show these shifts in your writing.
Your task today is to write a sentence for each picture which could come at the beginning of a paragraph, indicating a shift in time. Phrases which could be useful are
Many years before,
When he was a child,
During the war,
As he played,
When he was a young man,
In the past,
Until the time,
Occasionally,
Not long ago,
As a boy,
Until recently,
etc etc.
These phrases could come anywhere in the sentence –e.g.
Many years ago, the old man fought in a war.
The old man, many years ago, fought in a war.
Try to vary the position in some of the sentences you write.

Maths - time revision
We looked at time at the end of last term but we could do with a bit more practice so have a go at the challenge sheets below – they are for both Year 5s and Year 6s. This video (56) Basic Math: More Elapsed Time Problems - YouTube will help you if you are stuck.
If you want a bit more of a challenge after you have done this sheet, then the file 'Timeprobs' below will provide that (optional)
Also, if you still need to practice telling the time, there is a sheet below to have a go at. (This is not for everyone- but if you can’t tell the time, this is the priority for you.) This video (56) Reading Intervals of Five Minutes To the Hour - YouTube will help with minutes to the hour, which some people struggled with.
If you want more practice at telling the time, the game which is part way don this page is useful.

Art – African masks. Look at this video How to Make African Mask : 5 Steps (with Pictures) - Instructables which shows how we are going to make our African masks, beginning next week (without the tin foil.) Then you can use your knowledge of African masks from last week to design your own version that you will be able to make out of cardboard.
Please try to collect some cardboard over the next week – it could be from cereal boxes or other packaging. You’ll also need some glue or sticky tape for next week, if possible (though don’t worry if you haven’t got any – you can make your mask without sticking any extra bits on.)

English – stories with flashbacks. These tasks are based on the video we watched yesterday - The Piano by Aidan Gibbons on Vimeo
Put the events in order that they happen in the video- put the present events (i.e. the old man playing the piano) above the line and the flashbacks below the line.
You can use the Word document and simply move the images around or print out the sheet and cut and paste them into order.
Now we are going to write a sentence to describe what is happening in each picture. Each sentence needs to begin with an adverbial.
Here are some examples of adverbs you may wish to use:
cautiously, kindly, tenderly, calmly, lovingly, bravely, longingly, joyously, carefully, smoothly, gently, seriously, soothingly, deliberately, mysteriously, solemnly, romantically , thoughtfully

Geography - In geography this term we are going to be finding out about fair trade in Africa. Today, we are going to find out a bit about Africa.
On a World map (e.g. the one attached below), find Africa. If you can print out the map, you could colour in and label Africa and the UK (not essential).
The most important thing to know is that Africa is a continent (like Europe) and it is made up of 54 countries. You can see these countries in the second map below (called MapAfrica). Make a list of 10 of these countries.
If you want to find out a bit more, you can access this map on Africa Map | Infoplease – and if you click on a country, it will take you to a more detailed map of that country.
This website will give you more information about Africa – make a list of 10 facts about Africa- Africa Facts for Kids | Africa for Kids | Geography | Travel | People (kids-world-travel-guide.com)
Now have a look at the second map – this shows the most popular crops grown around in different parts of Africa. Again, make a list of 10 of these crops – try to list the most popular (i.e. those that appear most).

Maths - BODMAS
This is a way of making sure that all maths operations (e.g +,-, x /) are carried out in the same order. We call this the ‘order of operations’
For example, we could take the calculation 2 + 5 x 4
If you add first, you get 2+5 = 7 x 4= 28
But if you multiply first, you get 5 x 4 = 20 + 2 = 22. (This is the right answer!)
BODMAS (sometimes called BIDMAS) is the acronym we use to remember which order to carry out the operations.

RE – The New Covenant with God
Last term, we learned about the Ten Commandments (click here for a reminder if you cannot remember The Ten Commandments - Topmarks ) and these are still followed by Jewish and Christian believers, to this day. However, Jesus also gave his followers two more important rules to follow: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.” (Matthew 22:37-40).
The gospel of John repeats the message of the second part of this - “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”
Christians think of these rules as part of the New Covenant with God.
Task 1 – Find out what ‘covenant’ means
Task 2 – Do you think Jesus meant ‘neighbour’ in the sense of people who live close to him – or do you think it had a wider meaning? If so, what?
Task 3 - Write down any similarities that you can see between the Ten Commandments and these two new rules.
Task 4 - The New Covenant with God underlies the way many Christians try to behave. Choose 2 of these scenarios and explain how Christians would respond to them
- someone who never lets one particular person join in
- someone who is in your group for project work but mucks about and is unhelpful
- someone you have never met before but is in a bad situation (hurt/homeless and so on)
- when you yourself are finding something difficult to master
- when you fall too ill to do something really important to you
- when your friends are poking fun at religion

English – Today you are going to use the plan you made yesterday to write your first flashback story. Remember – you are not just copying out what you wrote in your plan – you need to add details and make it interesting for the reader. Make sure you write in the correct tense – present tense for the first paragraph and all the other paragraphs about the main part of the story and in past tense for all the flashbacks.
Here are some of the first lines from some people who have started:
'I am visiting my favourite caravan park in Italy for the first time since the destruction. The ground is layered with black ash...' (Darcey)
'I get out of the car and walk over to the fence that is surrounding Alton Towers...' (Isabel)
'On a cold December morning, I am visiting Center Parcs, a place I used to know well...' (Chloe)
We look forward to reading yours!

English - We are going to have a go at planning your own story with flashbacks.
Task 1 - Think of a place from your childhood that is special to you - it could be from a holiday or somewhere you often go with your friends and family. For example, mine would be a beach called Pobbles Bay, where I spent most weekends when I was young, playing with my cousinson the sand, searching in the rockpools or surfing in the waves.
Task 2 - Think of something that could happen to spoil that place (like the storm ruined the caravan site and wrecked the caravan.) For example, mine might be an oil spill.
Task 3 - Now you need to use your 'boxing up' sheet from yesterday. You have an outline of what happened in the Ted Gate story - now you need to use the end column to plan a story using your special place and the bad thing that (could have) happened to it. I have written part of an example in the file below.
Remember to use a hopeful event at the end, like the boy and the kite in the original story.

a towering, sand-coloured pyramid with crumbling statues around its doorway
Then do the same with 'mummy' (as in Egyptian!)

Year 5 English - In English this week, we are going to revise writing instructions.
Task 1 - Read the rules below:
Use a clear title so the reader knows what the instructions will be about.
Begin with an opening that makes the reader want to read on. A good hook to use is a question.
In the opening make it clear why the reader should read the instructions.
List ingredients/equipment in order.
Make any instructions easy to follow.
Organise what has to be done in order, using numbers, letters or bullet points.
Simple drawings help the reader if sections are hard to explain in words.
Use imperative ('bossy') verbs, e.g. 'Throw the meat to the pet', to tell the reader what needs to be done.
Use 'time' connectives to organise the order, e.g. First, next, after that, etc.
Use 'you' to talk to the reader, e.g. 'You may now need to hide'.
End the instructions with any key points or reminders.
Now read through the Powerpoint (there is a pdf version if your device does not run Powerpoint) and see if you can spot examples of where these rules have been used - you could unline or highlight them, if you like.

Year 6
This week is Mary Webb transition week. In your transition packs, you have a suggested timetable to follow, which includes work on Ted Hughes’ The Iron Man, a maths booklet and a number of videos to watch.
All videos and the song can be accessed here - https://www.marywebbschool.com/year-7-transition/
Year 6s are not expected to complete any work other than this during transition week. However, if you have not yet written/recorded your memory of Trinity Primary and sent it in, please do so – we are trying to put together a virtual ‘leavers’ assembly’.
As part of this, we are also trying to put together a reading of a leavers’ poem. Attached below is the poem with the name of the person we would like to read each couplet (2 lines). We would really like everyone to record themselves reading out their 2 lines (video or audio), send it into us and then we will compile them.
