Instructions

We are doing things a little differently this week with English. There is a new resource from the Oak National Academy which has Teachers from across the country helping you to learn through video.

We have been consolidating much of learning so far and this week our focus is Instructions so I thought we could have a go at using these videos and activities to refresh our memory and help us write a great piece of work at the end of the week.

*Please continue to learn the spellings above as you do each week* There is additional spellings related to the learning in the videos and a mini test but please don’t feel you have to do these too- they are extra if you want to try them.

It is important that you do what works for you in terms of time focused on the English learning as you would usually do with any other tasks we set on the blog. As I have said before, every family will have their on routine and amount of learning time that works best for them, so do the best for you!

This week you will look at the following tasks:

Monday: Instructions- Reading Comprehension- Fact Retrieval

Tuesday: Instructions- Reading Comprehension- Word Meaning

Wednesday: Instructions- Identifying and understanding features

Thursday: Instructions- SPaG focus- Adverbs

Friday: Instructions- Writing a set of instructions

I will post the link each day but this is the link to get to the 5 lessons.

Maths

This week we are going to be looking at money! We looked at money in the Spring Term so this is a chance for you to practise your knowledge.

Today we are going to be adding and subtracting money.

Have a go at this challenge sheet – adding and subtracting the amounts of money. Choose a challenge level that is right for you.

Topic

This week you are going to be researching the Bronze Age. This won’t be something we expect you to do in a day! There are some links below to help get you started but please do your own research as well. Try and find out about what life was like – their clothing, homes, diet etc.

You can present your information in any way you like whether that be powerpoint presentation, factfile, information poster or any other way you fancy. Please make sure the information is clear and your work is neat and colourful.

This will be at least for Monday and Tuesday but if it takes you longer that is fine as well.
