Year 5 English, Maths and Reading Comprehension

I hope you all had a lovely weekend celebrating the 75th anniversary of VE DAY. I would love to see all your pictures – please send to hawkstone@holytrinitycepa.co.uk

This week we will be focusing on work set on BBC Bitesize.

English – Learn to write a formal report

Formal language

The purpose of your writing, as well as your audience, will help you decide whether to use a formal or informal style of language.

In an informative report, formal language is used and may include the following features:

A serious instead of a chatty tone.

Clear and to the point.

Specialist vocabulary for the subject.

No slang or contractions ( there is instead of there’s ).

Includes complex sentences.

Example

Formal: ‘We must go to the library and study.’

Informal: ‘We’ve got to head to the library and hit the books!’

The key features of a formal report:

Research your topic first – find out key facts, interesting information and organise into groups.

Brief introduction – explain what/who you are writing about and why it/they are special.

Sub-headings – break up your writing into easily identifiable sections.

Formal language.

Facts only – not your opinion – use statistics or studies to support your points.

Layout – make your report clear and use pictures to illustrate key points.

Year 4 English, Maths and Reading Comprehension

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend celebrating the 75th anniversary for VD Day – I would love to see all your pictures – please send to hawkstone@holytrinitycepa.co.uk

This week we are looking at work which is available on BBC BiteSize –

English – Recounts To understand what a recount is.

A recount is when you describe an event that you’ve experienced to someone who wasn’t there. You could recount anything. For example: a day at school, a sports game you took part in or even a dream you had.

How to write a recount

1. Write in the first person ( I, me, my ) because it happened to you.

For example: I felt excited.

2. Use the past tense because it has already happened.

For example: It was the biggest fish I had ever seen!

3. Write in chronological order (this means the order in which events actually happened). Use adverbs of time to show this, such as: firstly, next, then and finally.

4. Use descriptive words and expanded noun phrases to help your reader imagine what happened.

For example: The huge, silver fish was shiny and slippery.

5. Focus on the most exciting parts. You don’t need to include all the boring details.

Please visit the site below to access the videos and work.

Maths – Problem solving with multiplication and division.

Here are a few reminders of the strategies we learnt prior to being off.

Curiosity English lessons 4 and 5

So the next stage is to reveal the contents of the suitcase…

Who does the suitcase belong to? Where have they been? Where will they go next?

So today and tomorrow, I want you to look over the diary entries and become familiar with how diaries are written. Read the examples and look at the Success Criteria of what to include.

Write a diary entry as if the suitcase belongs to you. It will will be written as if you have been on an adventure and reflecting on the day.(Maybe at the end of the day- before you go to bed).

Tell me all about your adventures, link this back to your senses. What you saw, can smell, taste, touch and hear. Try to include any spellings from the 3/4 or 5/6 spelling list you have been learning.

Use a variety of fronted adverbials and remember correct punctuation (we looked at the last week). Use a range of conjunctions ‘A WHITE BUS’. Again something else we looked at last week. And lastly, use expanded noun phrases to make your writing more interesting. I cannot wait to read the diary entries. Please email to Hawkstone@holytrinitcepa.co.uk

After your diary entry, please write a where you think they may go next on their adventure? Why might they be going there? Also who with? I am curious to see what you think.

Millicent Kaye Art Competition 2020

The Rotary Club of Oswestry established this award in 1996 in honour of Millicent Kaye, who died earlier that year.

The Award is based on a competition which is open to all students in Key Stage 2 at primary schools in Oswestry.

Prizes are awarded both to the individual artist and the school they represent. There is also an award for the school which has, in the opinion of the judge, made outstanding effort.

Each year the Club sets a theme for the competition which aims to be flexible and easily adapted to the curriculum. The theme for this year is ‘PLAYING‘.

The students can submit their 2D piece of artwork electronically and the Border Counties Advertiser and Oswestry Advertiser have expressed an interest in shwoing the winning entries in their papers.

Please send pictures of your ‘Playing’ themed 2D artwork to your class email by Sunday 10th May for judging.
