Tuesday 5th January

English

We're going to do a grammar lesson today to refresh our memories about relative clauses! This is something you were really good at before Christmas so I'm hoping you'll breeze through this!

Remember, a main clause is a simple sentence that makes sense on its own

e.g. Miss Cutler danced in the rain.

We can add a relative clause (that doesn't make sense on its own) to give more information about the noun.

e.g. Miss Cutler, who was wearing sparkly wellies, danced in the rain.

Remember, relative clauses start with a relative pronoun - who, who's, whose, where, which, that

Today, I'd like you to head to the BBC Bitesize website using the link below. 

You need to:

- watch the first video - a song about relative clauses

- watch the second video - a cartoon about relative clauses

- read the information on the page

- complete the activity on the computer where you have to highlight the relative clause

- complete the second activity where you need to write a couple of sentences about a bear that include a relative clause 

You don't need to print anything out. You just need a paper and pen for the very last activity!

Guided Reading

We're going to start a new guided reading book. 

Today, I'd like you to look at the front cover below... 

Then I'd like you to think about the answers to these questions...

1. What do you think the title means - King of the Cloud Forests?

2. Where do you think the story is set? Why?

3. Who do you think the people might be? Why?

4. What do you think might happen in the story? Why?

Jot down some ideas on a piece of paper!

Maths

We are starting our new unit on area and perimeter.

This week, we will start to think about perimeter. Perimeter is the length of the outside of a shape!

Start by watching the video on the website below. It's the SECOND VIDEO called PERIMETER ON A GRID 

Don't worry about the worksheets it talks about - just watch the video! Easy peasy!

PSHE

Our new PSHE module is called "Dreams and Goals"

I'd like you to start off by thinking about your dreams and goals for your life. Think about the following questions:

- what job would you like to do when you're older?

- would you like to drive? a car? a boat? a scooter? a lorry?

- what country would you like to live in?

- would you like to live in a house? in a bungalow? in an apartment?

- what hobbies would you like to do? skiing? golf? reading? travelling?

- would you like pets? a family?

Think about things that you can't get with money - what do you want for yourself? To be happy? To be loved? To be charitable? How would you achieve or measure these things?

When you've thought about this, I'd like you to create a poster to show your dreams and goals for the future! You can draw pictures and annotate and label them. You could even cut out pictures from magazines if you have them to create a collage! 

I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
