READING AND WRITING 1 hour per day Please -at least 30 minutes on the reading and writing activities each day. Please remember to work on your handwriting. Reading: This week you will be reading a diary extract called, ‘The Paradise Garden’, ‘King Midas’ and ‘The history of Alchemy’ In your year group folder, you will find the extract and resources to support the extract. Please remember some reading can be done independently but please support your child with the reading if necessary. Ideas on how to support your child with your reading: - Your child could read the text aloud - You and your child could take it in turns to read - You could read aloud to your child - Don’t underestimate the power of re-reading. You read it to them first and they read it back to you. Writing: All writing activities are linked to the diary extract.

Please note:

For this week, you will find the maths

worksheets in your Home Learning folder on

our school website. There will be one

document with the week’s worth of

worksheets and one document with the week’s

worth of answers. The videos will be available

from the Home Learning section on the White

Rose website as normal. If you are unable to

print the worksheet, then please write/draw

the answers in your home learning book.

PERSONAL CHALLENGE: each week we will focus on a new skill. This week’s skill is STRATEGY

Personal Challenge for this week: CAN YOU COMPLETE THE PHYSICAL CONNECT 4? You need a partner and make sure you’re doing each activity correctly.

FOUNDATION HISTORY and ART: Use the storyboard template to create illustrations of the King Midas story. HISTORY: In year 5, one of our history units is Ancient Greece. Here are some ideas that you research and present in any wat you wish – comic strips, diagrams that could be labelled, information texts, building models:

Research Greek Myths and rewrite one in a different form of writing – diary entry, recount, newspaper article, narrative.

Research Greek mythical beasts and create a poster of fact file. Some ideas are: Medusa, Minotaur, Hydra, Cyclops.

You could do the same for the Greek Gods.

Research the main two independent states –Athens and Sparta. How are they different? You could research location, government, transport, armies. How are they the same? What is different?

D and T: Create a 3D model of one the things we have looked at this week. It could be: your own paradise garden, a model of a Spartan Soldier compared to an Athenian Soldier or a model of one of the Greek mythical creatures. Geography: Research the country of Greece. What were the main human (population, lifestyles, government, economy, food) and physical features (landscape and terrain, surrounding seas, climate)? Can you create a table that looks at the human and physical features of Sparta and Athens? Complete the blank map of Greece for the Geography of Ancient Greece – main states, mountains, seas – see how many different features you can include on your map. Use an atlas or the internet. Maybe you could draw on the different states and colour them different colours
