Longstone Primary School home learning grid: Level (P5) week 7

Writing Reading Number

Last week, you created your characters. Now, you are going to start planning your story. Before we break a story down and concentrate on the main bits. First, let’s start planning what your story will be about. (Parts of a story.)

You might change bits and take things out – that’s okay. This is the planning stage so make as many edits as you like. Remember the writing process, we are at the beginning so don’t expect to produce your best work straight away.

Use the planning sheet provided to generate and organise all your ideas. You will use this plan to help write your story. (Example of a pupil using Story Mountain to plan a story.)

Continue to read your book. You can either read a book you have at home, read one on Epic or Oxford Owl. Aim to read 4 chapters a week then complete 1 task from your reading grid.

Something fun! Problem to solve! IDL Theme/Project

Build your own den using items around the house.

Lots of you have been super busy cooking and baking your favourite foods. Look out for our Longstone cookbook coming soon on Twitter, full of all your delicious recipes. Inspired by this, I would like you to research the Michelin star system.

You could pretend to be an inspector and allocate your mum or dad stars depending on how much you enjoy the meal. The next night, maybe your mum or dad could award your meal stars! You could watch Ratatouille for some inspiration:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuyUKdJccgM You could create a menu with the meals you’ve had and how many stars they have been allocated. One night, you could

order your favourite things of the menu and pretend you are in a fancy restaurant!

Can you make beans on toast Michelin star worthy?

(Example of beans on toast by Robyn, age 10, called 5 Way. Cheesy beanos: baked beans on fried bread croutons with melted parmesan crust, a baked bean puree, crushed bean croquette, beans on toast roulade and a bean juice foam with a burnt toast crumb.) How posh! Email me your posh beans on toast and I will post them on twitter!
