Reading Revision Mat GuidanceTo complete each reading revision mat, you will need to read a short passage of writing; these will be taken from either a fiction text, a non-fiction text or a poem. Once you have read and understood the passage, you will have to answer seven different types of question based on what you have read.

Each of the seven areas has an accompanying canine character to hopefully remind you of the skills you need to answer that particular type of question:

Vocabulary QuestionsVocabulary Victor is there to help you work out the meaning of unknown words and phrases using context clues. 2a: Give / explain the meaning of words in context.

Retrieval QuestionsRex Retriever is there to help you to go into a text and just simply retrieve the facts and key details. 2b: Retrieve and record information / identify key details from fiction and non-fiction.

Alien InvasionVoss slowly opened her eyes, the suit’s alarm bleeping away in her ears. At first, she thought she may be blind; everything was black. Then a bright circle drifted past the visor of her helmet.

“Commander Dryden!” a human voice called through her ear-piece as the bright shape spun away and blackness returned. “We’re under attack! We haven’t much time!”

Her head was throbbing and she felt dizzy as the alarm continued to bleep. Voss tried to rub her eyes, but instead her gloved hand hit the outside of her space helmet. She tried to remember where she was. The bright circle drifted past once again, but this time her eyes were able to focus on it. It was a planet; a large, blue planet.

The blue planet whizzed past again, and then something else; something that looked like a spaceship. No – two spaceships! One of them was on fire, parts of it drifting into space.

“Commander!” the human voice cried.

“Warning,” a different, computer-sounding voice said, “Oxygen levels critical. Thirty seconds remaining.”

Voss suddenly realised that she was the one spinning, not the planet. “Stabilise,” she ordered, and everything came to a stop. She twisted round. The blue planet was Earth and the spaceship on fire was the Vanguard Explorer. She remembered how it had come under attack, the aliens forcing their way on board. She remembered the explosion that left her unconscious and spinning into space. And she remembered what needed to be done. “Forward thrusters,” she coughed. The suit pushed her towards the outer hull of the Vanguard where an amber button was flashing beside a small control panel. Voss keyed in the 10-digit password, and pressed the self-destruct button. “Sorry,” she whispered.

“They’re here!” the human voice screamed in her ear.

“Oxygen levels depleted,” the computer voice said.

There is no sound in space, but if there was, the sound of the Vanguard exploding into a million pieces – and the alien ship along with it - would have been heard all the way to Earth.

1. Why did Voss think she was blind at first?

2. What was the bright circle that kept drifting past?

3. ‘And she remembered what needed to be done.’ What do you think Voss was thinking to herself at this point in the story?

4. “Oxygen levels depleted,”… Why has the author used such technical language for this direct speech?

MORNING STARGIANT HURRICANE FOUND ON SATURN

1. How fast did Cassini travel on its way through the solar system?

2. How wide is the hurricane that Cassini photographed? Tick two. 1500 miles the width of Earth 77,000 miles the width of the continent of Europe

3. ‘…its latest pictures have sent the space-science community into an intergalactic spin!’ a) Think about what types of people might make up the space-science community. Write down two of them: b) According to the report, the pictures of the giant hurricane on Saturn have sent them into an ‘intergalactic spin’. What do you think it means by this?

4. It took NASA years to build Cassini, then 13 years for it to reach Saturn. Millions of dollars have been spent on it. Imagine you are the Head Scientist at NASA in charge of the Cassini mission. You have been asked to say some words on TV about the photos of the giant hurricane and how you feel about them:

Scientists at NASA say a giant hurricane on Saturn, 1500 miles wide, has been photographed by their roving spacecraft, Cassini.

Cassini, which was launched way back in 2004, has been snapping all sorts of amazing images during its 77 000 mph journey through our solar system but its latest pictures have sent the space-science community into an intergalactic spin!

On April 26, 2017, the spacecraft dived down between Saturn and its innermost rings, and what it photographed astounded scientists back on Earth. “We did a double take when we saw this… because it looks so much like a hurricane on Earth,” Andrew Ingersoll (a NASA team member) explained.

The hurricane, which is about as wide as the continent of Europe, has probably been churning for years, sometimes at speeds of up to 330 mph!

Scientists have long known about Saturn’s violent weather patterns. In 1980, NASA’s space

probe, Voyager, measured winds at 1,100 mph – which is about the same speed as an RAF Tornado fighter plane! Plus, keen-eyed astronomers have witnessed storms the size of Earth, using powerful telescopes.

But it is Cassini’s ability to get close and photograph the hurricane that has delighted scientists the world over.

The Watcher

1. Draw four lines to link these numbers to their fact.

I beam at you and you smile at meand I give you warmth and light. I watch you through your skies and clouds;but you turn and sleep at night.

Four and a half billion years I’ve lived;five billion yet to come, 110 times the size of EarthI’m way too hot for some.

The ancient Romans called me Sol, The Egyptians called me Ra,The Greeks knew me as Helios, you know me as your star.

Although 8 minutes is all it takesfor light to reach your home;93 million miles awayin space is where I roam.

My solar winds and solar flareslight up the Northern Lights;the polar pinks and greens and blues -the world’s most wondrous sights.

One day I’ll have no fuel to burn;the hydrogen all done, the light will go, your planet, too, but for now, I’m still your sun.

2. Why do you think ‘The Watcher’ was chosen for the poem’s title?

3. ‘but you turn and sleep at night.’ Explain what the poem means by this:

4. Read the final verse. In your own words, sum up what the poem is saying here:

8 how many times bigger the sun is compared to Earth

110 age of the sun

93 million how many minutes it takes the sun’s light to reach Earth

4 and a half billion distance in miles between the Earth and sun

Year 5 SummerEnglish Activity Booklet

Hello class,

Well what can I say about Egypt? It is extremely hot and sunny here in Cairo. Yesterday I sailed down the Nile on an old fashioned Rivership and even saw huge Nile crocodiles relaxing on the riverbank - as you can imagine, we weren’t able to swim despite the heat! Today I went on a camel ride and saw the pyramids and the sphinx. The sphinx looks like a big cat or a lion but it has a human face! Tomorrow I’m going to the Egyptian Museum - I might see some statues of the Pharaohs if I’m lucky.

Love from Summer

Hello class,

France is such an interesting place to visit. I’m staying in the capital city (Paris). Yesterday I went up to the top of the Eiffel Tower - it was very tall so took a long time to climb but the views were stunning. Then I went to the Louvre and saw lots of legendary paintings including the Mona Lisa (which looked a bit like my mum!). I can’t wait until tomorrow because I’m going to Disneyland Paris - I wonder which characters I’ll see.

Hello class,

I’m having a great time here in Scotland! I’ve been doing lots of travelling around and have even been to Loch Ness to look for the Loch Ness monster - I thought I saw it but my mum said it was just a log floating in the water! Now I’m staying in the capital city (Edinburgh) and tomorrow I’m going to look around Edinburgh Castle - I might even hear them firing the cannons if I’m lucky!

Wish you were here,

Summer Sun Robert Louis Stevenson(from A Child’s Garden of Verses, 1885)

Great is the sun, and wide he goes Through empty heaven with repose; And in the blue and glowing days More thick than rain he showers his rays.

Though closer still the blinds we pull To keep the shady parlour cool, Yet he will find a chink or two To slip his golden fingers through.

The dusty attic spider-clad He, through the keyhole, maketh glad; And through the broken edge of tiles Into the laddered hay-loft smiles.

Meantime his golden face around He bares to all the garden ground, And sheds a warm and glittering look Among the ivy’s inmost nook.

Above the hills, along the blue, Round the bright air with footing true, To please the child, to paint the rose, The gardener of the World, he goes.

Strawberries This succulent, fragrant fruit is as beautiful as it is flavourful. Traditionally the strawberry season is quite short with a six-week season from early May until late August. The use of polytunnels and glass houses has extended the strawberry season. Although strawberries will be in plentiful supply throughout May the season will reach its peak in June and July. If good weather continues from July you can expect to see British strawberries until the end of September.

Strawberries grown on farms in the UK grow on runners from a parent plant. It’s quicker than growing from a seed. It takes five to six months for the baby strawberry plants to grow roots of their own and be ready to go to their own polytunnel.

Polytunnels are like big plastic greenhouses in the shape of a tube. Giant glass houses are also used. They let in lots of light but they keep the strawberries protected from the weather and help stop pests and diseases. Once the strawberries are planted they need to be watered every day. A special method called irrigation is used to water the soil using special pipes.

The following year the strawberry plants are mature enough to start to flower. Each flower can become a strawberry, but it needs to be pollinated by an insect. The insect pollinates the flower by crawling on it to get the nectar. At the same time it rubs the yellow pollen on to the inside parts of the flower. This is what makes the fruit start to grow.

Thirty days after being pollinated, the baby strawberries start to form. To start with they are small and green. As time passes and they get more water and sunshine the fruits begin to grow and turn red. The polytunnel stops the birds from eating the young fruits.
