By now, you should have written the Prologue and opening chapters of your new novel based upon Wilders. Please send me your drafts chapters- either by your new school email or hand them in at the school office where they will remain in quarantine before I can read them and feedback to you.
This week, we will be finishing our last few chapters on Monday and Tuesday. Then, we will spend the rest of the week editing our work.
Please keep following the plan and use the examples to help you, as well as all the resources below, that are provided to inspire your choice of vocabulary and to aid your spelling. Keep using the story planner notes from last week to help you remember what is happening in each chapter.

Wk 5 - Maths
Hopefully, you are now gaining an understanding of Fractions. Just keep reminding yourself that the denominator - the bottom number - represents how many pieces each whole is being broken into. The numerator - the top number - represents how many of the whole you are looking for. So 3/4 means 3 out of 4.
These are your video links for this week's learning. The worksheet for Wednesday is split over two days - so you will be able to access a video for each side of the worksheet on the two days. You will also notice that there isn't a link for Friday - this is because I have given you a couple of Reasoning and Problem solving questions for Friday instead of a worksheet.
Monday - Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions

Tuesday - Number Sequences

Friday - Reasoning and Problem Solving sheet
No video for today – Use your learning so far to solve questions on the sheet

Week 4 = Beginning 25th January 2021
Wk 4 - Literacy
Wolf Wilder is turning out to be a book full of dramatic events! In class, we are really enjoying learning about life in the Arctic region of Russia for families like Feo's.
Last week, we wrote our opening to our own novel. Hopefully, you have all been keeping up with the lessons here and have also written your descriptive opening.
I have placed an example of my story opening on our class blog on Purple Mash - hopefully it will help inspire you and remind you of all the descriptive techniques we have already learnt about - personification/ alliteration/ simile/ metaphor and the use of powerful adjectives.
REMEMBER - every time you write, you should be trying to paint a picture in your reader's mind.
So far, your opening should just be about the setting and your character's home - it should not have any characters yet.
This week, we won't be reading any more of the book, instead we will begin to plan our characters and story plot. You should recognise the character and story planners - they are similar to those we used for Letters from the Lighthouse.
Please try to keep up with the tasks in the plan each day and remember you need to send me your work so that I can give you some helpful feedback.
