tallest mountain on the map on the following

page.

Have a go at labelling any other geographical

features e.g. towns, cities, oceans etc.

Watch the video to find out more about Mexico:

Science- Recap: Asexual Reproduction in Plants

Some plants use sexual reproduction to make seeds, which grow to make new plants. These plants

need pollen (containing the male gamete or sex cell) from one flower to fuse with the ovule (the

female gamete) of another flower, which makes a seed.

However, some plants use asexual reproduction to make new plants.

Unlike sexual reproduction, asexual reproduction only needs one parent plant to make new plants.

Because there is only one parent plant, there is no fusion of gametes, and no mixing of genetic

information. The new plants are identical to the parent plant. They are clones.

Asexual Reproduction

Some plants develop bulbs or tubers underground. These bulbs

or tubers will develop into new plants for the following year. The

new plants will be genetically identical to the parent plant.

Daffodils and potatoes are examples of plants that reproduce

this way.

Strawberry plants send out

runners with small plantlets on.

These will each grow into a new

strawberry plant.

Spider plants

send out

branches with

baby plantlets

on. Each plantlet

will grow into a

new plant.

Potato plants grow tubers

underground during the spring and

summer. These tubers will grow into

new plants the following spring if

they are left undisturbed.

Daffodil bulbs store energy

underground. Once the daffodil

plant has died back, the bulb

develops side shoots that will

grow into new daffodils for next

year.

Other plants produce side branches or runners with new plantlets

on. The roots of each plantlet grow down into the soil, and the

plantlets will grow to form new plants identical to the parent.

Spider plants and strawberries are examples of plants that

reproduce this way.

Plant Cuttings

Taking cuttings from a plant is an artificial method of asexual

reproduction. If you are successful, you will make new plants

that are genetically identical to the parent plant! Cuttings

are small pieces of stem that are carefully removed from the

parent plant and encouraged to form their own roots,

making new plants. If you have some plants in the garden,

you could ask an adult if you could take some cuttings and

try to grow your own plant.

Time and energy are needed to wait for another parent plant to reproduce with.

Diseases will not affect all the individuals in a habitat because they will all be different.

The species can change over time to adapt to new environments and habitats.

Reproduction is not possible for an isolated plant.

Only one parent plant is needed so new plants can be made even if there are no other plants nearby.

There is no variation or difference in new plants, so the species is less resilient to diseases or changes in climate.

The population can be increased quickly.

Good features of the parent plant will always be passed on.

Reproduction

Task: Some plants use sexual reproduction to make new plants (which we discussed in last week’s home learning), while other plants use

asexual reproduction. Fill in the diagram with the statements below to show the advantages and disadvantages of each type of

reproduction.

Activity 1

Read through your plan so that you are

clear how you are going to structure your

story.

Think about each of the events within a

new paragraph and how you will use

fronted adverbials to build cohesion

(make it flow).

Activity 2

Watch the clip again and try and

find details that you hadn’t noticed

before.

Focus on the character’s emotions

throughout.

When you feel ready start writing

your first draft.

To write an excellent story –

Describe the settings and

characters within your narrative.

Build tension.

Show me don’t tell me.

Use dialogue to convey character’s

personalities and feelings. The best

stories have lots of narration and

purposeful dialogue between

characters.

WAGOLL

On a lonely street, a graveyard of derelict buildings slumped motionless. Grey clouds spilled down from the sky and swamped the streets with a cold mist that made the thermometers on the walls shiver. Many decades ago, the houses had accepted their fate and turned off their lights for the last time. Apart from one little house…

The Young House had turned his light off with the rest of the soulless houses, but for years just lay asleep dreaming of what it was once like to be a home. To have the sun illuminate through his dusty, double glazed windows and share weather reports and gardening tips with his surrounding houses on the street. He longed for adventure and thrills. If only he could make his dreams a reality.

When all of a sudden, the Young House’s light switched on. His once tired shutters opened wide with excitement. He did his usual morning routine and reached tall to the left and then to the right undoing any stiffness in his pale blue walls.

Friday 1st May 2020 LO: To use sentences appropriately

Activity

Read through your story again.

Go through your self-assessment.

Think about how you can improve the narrative even more

– Remember there is always something you can develop.

Use the editing tools on this page to help you to edit your

narrative.

Write or type your story up as a final piece of writing.

We would love see these! #gorseyathome @gorseyy5

Up-level at least 6 of

your words – make

sure you use a

dictionary to check

the meaning.

Choose two sentences and add a relative

clause.

The houses travelled far and wide.

The houses, who hadn’t stopped for many

days now, travelled far and wide.

Tip – we can use ‘who’ in this story because

we are pretending the houses are like people. Find 10 or more

verbs and add an

adverb to each

one.

Rambled = slowly

rambled

Add even more

adjectives! Think about

describing senses –

smell, sight, touch, taste

and sounds.

Add fronted adverbials

to build cohesion (make

your writing flow) – All of
