PM TASK 2

Weekly learning objective

WALT: estimate answers and use different strategies to

check answers

WALT: identify and use features of poetry Reading journal for the week: Choose a

book, either from Bug Club, an audio book, or an actual

book!

This week, try to find

some different types of poetry to read each day. Make

some notes on what you

enjoy about the

poems and what

you do not like.

Science:

Today you are going to do a science experiment to discover how seeds are dispersed by the wind. All of the instructions and data collecting tables are attached. If you do not have exactly the same equipment as they recommend, do not worry! You can use any seed that you can find, someone fanning with paper could work instead of an electric fan, you can mark the spot on the floor with whatever works for you and any type of ruler can be used

Let’s read some poetry!

Today you’re going to look through a selection of different poems. Read through the poems and decide what they are about – you might need to look any unknown words up or discuss them with someone else. Next, I would like you to think about which poems you like or dislike and why. You need to be able to discuss the reasons you like or disilike them. Use the sentence starter, ‘The reasons I like this poem are…..’ or ‘the reasons I dislike this poem are….’ Try to use some of these key words in your reasons: rhythm, rhyme, simile, alliteration, imagery, use of words, theme/topic.

Task 2: MyMaths

Estimates and inverse operations – some of this may seem easy but it’s a really good way to revise what you’ve already learnt about estimates and inverse before we move on with it this week

TUES White Rose Maths:

Checking strategies Watch the video and complete the worksheet

Poetry toolkit:

Looking at the same poems as yesterday, today you are going to be finding different features within the poems using a poetry toolkit.

In the toolkit, it explains what each of the features means. You will have heard of them all before but you might not remember them all. Look through the poems and identify these features. Once you have done this verbally, choose two of your favourite poems and write down the features you have found and examples of them. If you have a printer, you might want to print the poems out instead and

annotate your notes onto them.

History and Art:

Have a look through the PowerPoint on Tudor houses. This will help you to get an understanding of what Tudor houses were like for both the rich and the poor in Tudor times and how they were built. Each slide has some questions on it to think about before you move on. Try to answer the questions verbally as you go. Once you have looked through all the information, if you are still unsure of any of the answers, you can research that area further Once finished, have a go at sketching an example of a rich Tudor’s house and a house that a poorer Tudor would have lived in. Pay attention to the detail and the shading – only use pencil to do your sketch so that you can use shading to show the darker areas.

Task 2 – Key Task

Please write a written explanation for how you solved this problem and upload it to seesaw to be marked.

WED Mid-Week Maths Madness

Maths trail activity! Create a maths trail around your home! What will you find? This activity involves counting, multiplying, exploring shapes and using everyday objects to measure. Once you’ve completed the trail ideas on the sheet, what else in your house can you find that is maths?

Plan your own!

Today you are going to choose the poem you liked the most and start to think about how you could write your own poem inspired by the one you’ve read. You might choose to use the same structure, the same topic, the same rhyming pattern etc. You get to use your own creativity to write this poem however you want to! We know lots of you have enjoyed the poetry weeks during lockdown so this is your chance to show off! The one rule is that you must use at least 2 of the features from the poetry toolkit. Do not write your poem today – you are just planning. Think of the main topic of the poem and the features you are going to use. Begin to collect words you might want to use – remember to use a thesaurus to make your word choices even better. Also collect rhyming words you might

Risk:

Today you are going to think about a risk you could take to improve your learning. What might be holding you back from being an even better learner? Do you need to offer more answers in class disscussions even when you’re not sure of the answer? Do you need to have more confidence in your own ability? Do you need to show your example in PE even though that might be scary infront of the class? Have a think about what it is you could do to make sure you’re taking risks that will help you as a learner. Think about what you would say to a friend

need. One way to do this is as a mind map for all the ideas, a box of vocab I want to use and a list of rhyming couplets (two words that rhyme) but again it is up to you. If you’re struggling with an idea, choose one of the poems and plan which elements you will change to make it your own.

to convince them to take that risk and the benefits of risk taking. Then design a poster that you can keep hold of and refer back to in Year 5 to remind you of the risk you want to take.

THURS Task 1: MyMaths

Estimates with decimals – this is something quite new to you so have a go and if you get below 80% have another go to see if you can improve!

Writing your poem

Today you will write your poem. Hopefully yesterday you collected all the ideas you need. Remember to include at least 2 of the poetry toolkit features (you could push yourself to use more than 2 if you want to challenge yourself.) Remember this is your first draft so it does not need to be beautifully neat. It is ok to cross out and edit bits until you are happy with it. Tomorrow you will write them up in neat. Remember that poems are: -written in lines -written in stanzas/verses -most have a rhythm (this is linked to syllables per line) -do not need to be in sentences -do not have to rhyme but can do (you’ll need to think about which lines are going to rhyme to make sure the rhyming words are at the end of the lines)

Enjoy writing your poem! Our top tip: say your lines aloud as you write them to check they have the rhythm or rhyme you would like

RE:

There are many different beliefs and stories about the creation of our world. You may have heard some of these stories before and some may be new to you. Have a read through the creation stories (uploaded separately) to see what different cultures and religions believe about the very beginning of our world. Once you’ve had a read through, you have two options. One is to compare the stories looking for all the similarities and differences you can find. You can present this in any way you would like. The other option is to write your own creation story – you can do this as a written story, a comic strip or however you would like to present your story.

Task 2:

You can play this on your own to see how close you can get and then try again to improve or you can play it with family members. Once you’ve tried to get close to 5000, change the goal so that you are trying to make the lowest answer or the highest answer etc. If you don’t own any dice, use an online one:

FRI

Task 1: Magic Maths!

Have a go at my magic trick! (On a sheet below.) Try it out with a few numbers. Can you work out how it works? Once you’ve worked it out, can you write your own magic trick and see if a member of your family can work it out too.

Performance day!

Today, you will need to publish your poem in your best handwriting with an illustration. You will also need to give your poem a title and put the authors name (that’s you!) Once you have published your poem, it is time to practise performing it! When performing poetry it is important to

Getting ready for Year 5!

We are getting closer and closer to the summer holidays which means you are coming to the end of your time in Year 4! You might be feeling lots of different emotions about finishing the year and moving up to the next one especially considering the current situation. It is ok to be excited, scared,

read it in a way that shows the rhythm and to pause at the end of lines to show the rhyme. Then perform to a member of your family and see what they think! You might want to also upload a video of you performing onto SeeSaw for your teacher to see too.

happy, sad or anything else you might be feeling – just make sure you talk to your family about it To help you get ready to move into Year 5, we would like you to write a letter to your new teacher to tell them all about yourself. You will write this letter in your English lessons next week. Today, I would like you to think about all the things that you would want to tell your new teacher about yourself. Make a mind map of all the things you will include in your letter so that you are ready to get writing next week. Think about: -your interests -your likes and dislikes -your favourite subjects -your friends and family -your hobbies and passions -your personality -your hopes and dreams for Year 5 -your hopes and dreams for the future
