LITERACY Explanation Writing Over the next two weeks we will be looking at writing explanations ending with you creating a machine and explaining how it works. 1. Yep – I found another one!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBZ8CQtoxc0 2. Today we will be using one of our Tools For Writing in an explanation text –

subordinating clauses. First, let’s remind ourselves what a subordinating clause its. Watch the short video clip and complete the activity in the link below: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zwwp8mn/articles/zqk37p3

3. How can I use that in an explanation? Subordinating clause when the supply of footballs in the Soccamatic’s reload tubes runs down Main clause It is a good idea to pause the machine frequently to collect the footballs lying on the grass and consequently re-stock the machine. Joined in one sentence It is a good idea to pause the machine frequently to collect the footballs lying on the grass and consequently re-stock the machine when the supply of footballs in the Soccamatic’s reload tubes runs down. OR When the supply of footballs in the Soccamatic’s reload tubes runs down, it is a good idea to pause the machine frequently to collect the footballs lying on the grass and consequently re-stock the machine. 4. TASK – write a paragraph on another section of your machine using subordinating

clauses.

Challenge – vary the position of the subordinating clause in your sentences and use expanding noun phrases in your machine descriptions. Here’s an example to help When the supply of footballs in the Soccamatic’s reload tubes runs down, it is a good idea to pause the machine frequently to collect the footballs lying around on the grass and consequently re-stock the machine. This is done by pressing (for 5 seconds) the large green play button on the control panel underneath the ball hopper. As a result, the rotary kicking boots will temporarily stop thus giving the operator the chance to collect any free balls and reload the feeder tubes. Once the tubes are reloaded, pressing the button again (for 5 seconds) starts the kicking boots rotating and the hopper feeds balls down the shoot one more.

comma Possessive apostrophe Subordinating conjunction

GUIDED READING Using the text from the yesterday: 1. Read it out loud to an adult or older sibling – remember to include expression,

especially when the characters are speaking. 2. Look at the highlighted words, find out what they mean in context (how they are

used in the story) – use a dictionary, find alternative words in a thesaurus that might help you understand or ask an adult/older sibling.

3. Record the words/meanings in your workbook or on the text (if you have printed it

out)

SCIENCE Last week you learned to identify and label the different parts of the digestive system. This week we are looking at the function of each part in more detail. 1. Watch the video clips below and make bullet point notes (remember you can

pause the video clips whenever you like and watch them again too). https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z27kng8 There are 5 short clips on this link, watch each one.

2. Read through Slides on the digestive system functions (again make notes) – the file is

on the Daily Activities page on the website 3. TASK – create a poster for next year’s Year 4 on the functions of the digestive system.

I have included 2 poster templates in the Daily Activities section of the class page on the website. Choose which one you feel more comfortable using OR you can create your own. If you have access to a laptop or tablet, you can create your poster digitally!

I have included some examples of posters on the next page – you will know the level of detail I expect from each of you! Don’t forget to send me photos of you and your work!
