ENGLISH

MILD

Treat today like a Big Write. Choose something you would like to write about. It might be something you have done this week, a film you have watched or maybe even a short story – you can choose! You could set things up like we do in class with some calming music.

Follow the checklist below:

  • Use capital letters and full stops
  • Check spellings
  • Write in paragraphs
  • Use expanded noun phrases e.g. large, crooked tree
  • Use brackets for extra information
  • Proof read

 

SPICY / HOT

Read and enjoy Chapters 6 and 7 of the story, Mr Victor Hazel and The Baby Austin.

You can listen to a reading of these chapters here:

 

Use wordhippo.com to help with any words you are unsure of such as, ‘snob’, ‘hiding’ and ‘veiled’. Make a note of the definition and synonyms of the words selected.

Based on these two chapters, predict what might happen next.
Think about these questions:

Will Danny find his Dad?
If he does, where is he?
Why didn’t he return home?
Will they be able to leave Hazel’s Wood without being caught?

Once you have thought about these questions, have a go at writing your own version of the next chapter of the story.
If you have read this story before, create your own new idea for the next chapter.

Remember:

  • Check punctuation
  • Use paragraphs
  • Try to include key grammar for Year 5 –  relative clauses, parenthesis, expanded noun phrases.

MUSIC

You’ve got to have some music in your life! Hope you enjoy today’s lesson.
