Maths – Lesson 1 Multi step Addition & Subtraction Problems Today’s lesson can not be found at the usual site, please click on the following link
https://vimeo.com/428001969
The activity sheets will be uploaded to Dojo.
English – The Wind in the Willows
To link with our new topic of water we are going to study the children’s classic of The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame.
Kenneth Grahame was born in Edinburgh on 8 March 1859. He was the third child of an affluent family and was related to several well-known figures of literature. His great-grand-uncle was the poet and curate James Grahame. Grahame married Elspeth Thomson in 1899 and their only child, Alastair, was born the following year. Grahame created the character of Toad to amuse his son as a child, but it was not until 1908 that he published The Wind in the Willows, which had its origins in letters he had written to Alastair. The book was not an immediate success, but would achieve wider popularity thanks to the 1930 stage version, ‘Toad of Toad Hall’ by AA Milne (1882-1956), whose Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) was created for his own son, Christopher Robin.
English – The Wind in the Willows
Kenneth Grahame's classic tale of Mole, Ratty, Badger and Toad has been abridged in 10 episodes and read by Bernard Cribbins on the BBC School Radio site https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/school-radio/english-ks2-the-wind-in-the-willows-index/znngf4j
Each day this week we would like you to listen to one of the 15 minute episodes as part of your Reading task. If you find it easier to read than listen then there is a transcript for each episode you can read instead.
Your English task each day will then link to the story clip you have just listened to.
Reading – Episode 1 The River Bank
Discuss these questions with someone at home
- Which character do we meet first?
- Why is Mole so curious about the river?
- How is Rat different to Mole?
- Who else does Mole meet?
- What happens to Mole when he tries to row
the boat?
- What does Rat say he can teach Mole?
English Tasks
• Begin a word bank for each of these categories:
- Setting of the river bank
- Mole
- Rat
- Wild Woods
To do this write down any words you heard/read that described the setting or characters. These lists will help you with future writing tasks.
• Draw a scene of the riverbank using the descriptions you heard. Draw Mole and Rat in it & you may like to include Otter, Badger and Toad too.
Spelling – Summer Term 2
Ask an adult to test you on last week’s words: prefixes de- and re-
This week you are learning words with the prefix over-Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check your new spellings for this week.Can you put each word into a sentence?
Try to practise these spellings each day. Remember you can use Spelling Shed to do this too!
Tuesday
Maths – Lesson 2 Read & interpret Line Graphs
To access today’s maths lesson click on the following link https://vimeo.com/428002041
The sheets will be uploaded onto DOJO
Reading – Episode 2 The Open Road • Listen/read this episode and discuss these questions:
- Who do Mole and Rat go to visit?
- What is Toad excited about? What does he want to show Rat and Mole?
- How does Toad persuade Rat and Mole to go on an adventure?
- What sends the cart crashing off the road?
Task
Re-listen/look back at the exert (on next slide) that describes the inside of the cart. The author has included detail to help you picture the scene in your mind. We would like you to write a similar description of a room well known to you e.g. your bedroom or living room. Try to be specific to help the reader picture it in their mind.
English Task
Toad is a vibrant character in the book and we learn more about him in Episode 2.
Rat describes Toad to Mole, as he does not know him that well, and then we learn more about his impulsive personality as the episode continues.
We would like you to complete this sheet using your own choice of words and then find evidence to support them from the transcript/text.
SPAG
Wednesday
Maths – Lesson 3 Draw Line Graphs
Today’s lesson can not be found at the usual site, please click on the following link
https://vimeo.com/428002106
The activity sheets will be uploaded to Dojo.
Reading – The Wild Wood • Discuss these questions with someone at home
- What time of year is it?
- Why do you think Rat is reluctant to introduce Mole to Badger?
- How does the author create tension as Mole enters the Wild Wood?
- What is a stout cudgel?
- Why is Rat so keen to show Mole the door scraper and door mat?
- What do you think may happen next in the story?
• Task
Complete Wild Wood sheet (on DOJO) – underlining words/phrases that build the tension and make it seem like the wood is alive, ready to attack Mole.
English – The Wild Wood • Watch this clip taken from the 1983 version of the Wind in the Willows, where Mole enters the
Wild Wood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZuWWOUHI6g
• How did the producer build up tension? How did the film portray Mole as being scared?
• In both the text/audio story and the film the technique of ‘show don’t tell’ is used. This keeps the reader/audience interested and wanting to read/watch more.
• Task
Using the sheet from the reading task, your word bank made on Monday and your observations of the film, we would like you to write your own description of the wild wood scene where Mole is looking for Badger.
We want you to try to ‘show the reader’ that it is a scary location and that Mole becomes more scared the further he goes. Try to drip feed the reader so that you keep them wanting to read more.
Try to use interesting vocabulary.
Here is a reminder of the ‘show, don’t tell’ technique https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4RthqSOcR0
See an example on the next slide
EXAMPLE
Mole’s feet crunched in the ice cold snow as he began walking into the woods. It was quiet and the sun was getting lower in the sky but Mole was determined to meet the acquaintance of Badger. He pressed on and began to notice a rustling in the bushes; he turned his head to the left and then right but he could not place where the noise was coming from. Cautiously, he continued as a whistling sound started to echo around him. He gripped his scarf more tightly and hoped that Badger’s house was near.
SPAG
This sheet will be uploaded onto DOJO.Alternatively, copy the sentences into your book.
Think about which choice of synonym to use carefully, depending on the meaning of the sentence.

English Task – Diary Writing
• Friday is going to be diary day. I think it is important to keep a record of your thoughts and feelings at this strange time. We are indeed living through an important moment in world history!
• Every Friday update your diary with your thoughts, feelings and emotions about events this week. It will be your choice if you want to share your diaries at a later date.
Reading – Episode 5 – Dolce DomumDiscuss the answers to these questions with someone at home
• Why did Mole get upset?
• Why did Rat say that he had been a ‘pig?’
• Give two descriptions from the text of Mole’s house
• What does Rat do to make Mole feel more at home in his own home?
• What does Mole have in the house for their supper?
• How does Rat make Mole feel better about the supper they have cobbled together?
• Who joins Mole and Rat for supper?
• How does Mole feel at the end of the episode?
Task: At the start of the episode Mole can smell his home and wants to stop but Rat is adamant they should continue the journey back to his house before it gets dark and the snow falls again.
We would like you to write a short argument for each character’s point of view. Explain the reasons why each character believes their decision is the better one e.g. As Rat you might say, ‘Mole, we can not stop now, if we do we will be caught out in the cold again and we cant risk it a second time. Come on Mole we must go.’

Share your creations on DOJO.
Science Have a go at this experiment, observe what you notice and record it in your book by drawing and labelling a diagram.
Try out other liquids of your choice. What happens? Let us know on DOJO.
Geography – How is water cleaned for us to drink?
Visit the Sutton and East Surrey water websitehttps://flow-zone.co.uk/
