Teaching Points

Day 1: Vocabulary Practice

3 and 4 20 minutes This week we're going to be revisiting some classic vocabulary building question types: synonyms, antonyms, compound words and homonyms. Students may by now recognise some of the words from previous worksheets and their vocabulary list, but some of the words may be completely new to them. We recommend having a dictionary to hand for these questions.

Day 2: Non-Verbal Reasoning: Fnd the Figure Like the First Two

5 and 6 15 minutes Students will be pleased to know that they have now covered the bulk of basic NVR skills, but the work doesn't stop here! Over the coming weeks we will continue to practise and improve on speed by completing various exercises based on the classic NVR types. This week is 'Find the Figure Like the First Two'.

Day 3: Time and Timetables

7 and 8 25 minutes Understanding time and timetables is such a useful skill in everyday life that we'd still be teaching it even if it never came up in exams! Any student who is unsure of the 24-hour clock should start Day 3 by studying the support sheet, before moving on to answer the mixed time questions. Students must then use the information in the timetable on the next page to help answer the given questions, using the example as a guide.

Day 4:Revision Sheets

9 and 10 20 minutes These revision sheets cover the topics studied in this week's work, and students should use them to help highlight and strengthen any weaker areas before they attempt the Mini Test. If they come across any questions they don't understand in the revision sheets, students should take care to refer back to previous worksheets to help them figure out the right method to use to come up with their answer.

Day 5:Mini Test

2 pages 20minutes

We would suggest that Mini Test 16 should take 20 minutes.

Week 16 Extra Activities!

The extra activities below are designed to help students further strengthen skills needed in Year 5. They can be completed at any time that is convenient during the week's schedule.

1. Complete Vocab List 16 (2 words per day is a good way to break it down).

2. 'Continue the Story' game. Can be played as a family or with friends. Instructions are ona sheet included with this week's pack of work.

The clock that shows 08:25 (8.25am) is Clock B.

Timetables

There are going to be many times in your life when you're going to need to be able to read a timetable: catching a train, scheduling important meetings, not to mention in your school work!

The following timetable shows the schedule of events at a popular family theme park.

Example Question 1: On Thursday, the lunch bar opens ten minutes after the penguin showfinishes. How long does the penguin show last?

Answer: First make sure you're looking at the correct day. We need to be looking at the column under'Thur' for this question.

If we look along the row that tells us when the lunch bar opens, we can see that on Thursday it opens at 12:15.The penguin show finishes ten minutes before this, so it must finish at 12:05.

By looking at the table we can see that the penguin show starts at 11:00 on Thursday. The length of time between 11:00 and 12:05 is 1 hour and 5 minutes, so that is our answer!

Now complete the following questions by yourself:

2. Matilda's favourite event at the theme park is the wacky races, which lasts for an hour. However, shemust leave the park by 14:45. On which day could Matilda stay for the whole of the wacky races?

_________________________

3. On which day is the park open for 8 hours and 15 minutes?

4. On Tuesday, Callum arrives at the lunch bar at 12:35. If he finishes his lunch after 40 minutes, how muchtime does he have spare before the wacky races begin?

It's important that you are comfortable using the 24-hour clock. If you're unsure, remember these rules and they'll help you along!

The 24-hour clock always has FOUR digits.

For AM times – We fill in the gaps with zeros. So, if you need to write 6.00 am in the 24-hour clock, it's 06.00. If you wanted to write 11.00 am, it doesn't need anything done to it!

For PM times – We add 12 to the hours. So, if you wanted write 3.00 pm in the 24-hour clock, you would add 12 to 3. This would give you 15.00.

You don't need am/pm in the 24–hour clock.

WEEK 16 GAME


Continue the Story!

Players:

Instructions:

This game is best played with as many people as possible, but you can play with as few as two.

All players should sit in a circle, and together come to an agreement on a story title (see the suggestions below if you find yourselves getting stuck!).

The oldest player starts by making up the first line of the story and saying it out loud.

Each player must follow on the story in turn, by coming up with the next line.

Try to make your story as imaginative and as exciting as possible, whilst still ensuring that the story makes sense.

If a player can't think of a new line, they are out of the game!

Keep going until the story comes to an excellent (and exciting!) end, or whenever you just can't keep going any longer!

It's a really good idea for someone to be writing the story down as you go, as then you'll have a funny record of the twists and turns it took as you played!
