Please make sure your work is of a good standard and that you are able to bring it to school when you return as it will need to be stuck into your books.

Use a pencil for drawing and a biro for writing, not a felt tip pen.

Maths

English

LO: To draft a character description

Where you sat at a rectangular table used to show how important you were. The king sat at the head of the table and everyone was ranked in order below that so the idea of a round table was revolutionary with nobody sitting higher than anyone else.

Read the story again.

Who do you think will sit in one of the empty seats? Would they be a good or bad knight? What might they be like? What personality characteristics might they have?

Create a list of possible characteristics and experiences for a good knight (include both physical and personal characteristics such as: strong, calm, kind, clever, etc). Come up with a name for the knight. Note that as legends are retold and changed, you could easily be describing a female knight.

Today, I would like you to plan your own knights character description – what characteristics does he/she have and why?

How have they proved themselves worthy of a place at the table?

This is just the planning phase. Use the character sheets from previous days to help you think of the characteristic your new knight will have.

You will be writing your character description tomorrow. I am hoping to use these for a fantastic display outside of our classroom. Please try to make sure you are using your punctuation and spelling words correctly. I am happy for you to type your planning and your final piece.

Spelling: allowed and aloud

Use the dictionary to find the meaning and put the word into a sentence.

Can you find antonyms and synonyms?

Handwriting – write the above word X3 each. Can you put them into a sentence?

Reading – read for 20 minutes. This could be fiction or non-fiction. What did you find out?

GPS: LO: To expand noun phrases with the addition of ambitious modifying adjectives 

Following on from yesterday, have a go at the spooky settings sheet attached.

Words of the week.

Give antonyms and synonyms for each of the words and write them in sentences. Use these words for the whole week. New ones will be given next week.

Art & DT

LO: Create and combine shapes to create recognisable forms

What is sculpture?

Do you know any famous artists that create sculptures?

Watch the following –

I would like you to create a sculpture today and send a photo of your design into school.

Your sculpture must be of a recognisable, famous landmark. Can you create the Eiffel Tower? How about Big Ben?

You can make your sculpture out of anything you choose. I would be extremely impressed if you made 3D shapes from nets (these can be found, if easier, ready to print on line) and then create the sculpture from your own 3D shapes.

Be as creative as you like. I look forward to seeing them
