Maths

Warm up: Times Tables quiz!!

This will be posted on Google Classroom. Please make sure you are setting yourself a 5 min timer and submitting your quiz once the time is up! It might be a good idea to record your times and try to beat your previous time each week.

No workbook today! Please complete the Volume/Capacity tasks assigned on Mathletics (you have the weekend to complete them if you don't have time tomorrow) and pages 52 and 53 in your CGP Maths book instead.

Reading

Story time! Hopefully no problems today! Once you have watched/ read the text this complete the quiz below!

Almost forgot! Here is a video for you to mark the answers for Goodnight Mister Tom. Make sure you post your work marked and completed on Dojo :)

Writing

Crafting dead ends (deaths) and writing in the second person.

  • Write in the second person

  • Write in the present tense

  • Describe a death/ending with gruesome detail and originality

Today You are crafting the dead end (bottom left box, negative consequence you wrote yesterday)

Step 1. Reread yesterday's work - is it all written in SECOND PERSON. This is where a writer uses YOU instead of I or he/she to address the reader directly. It is a key feature of gamebooks. E.g. 'He jumped from the building' becomes 'You jump from the building'.

Step 2. Reread yesterday's work again and check it is all PRESENT TENSE. You want your reader to feel like things are happening then and now, not in the past. E.g. 'You looked gracefully out over the horizon' becomes 'you look gracefully out over the horizon'.

Step 3. Look at your bottom left box, the negative consequence. You may have ended with a death or perhaps another way. We'd like you to make this box as gruesome and creative as possible - what is the craziest thing you can think of to end the story? Put it in and describe it as clearly as you can! If you want to rewrite the whole box you can and if you just want to craft and edit what you've already done that's ok too.

To do this you will need to go back to yesterday's link on your google classroom and go back over your work.
