Home Learning for Thursday 2nd November 2023

All the files you need for these tasks can be found at the bottom of the page. 

Reading

Please read the text 'Stone Age Poetry' and answer the questions. Use the answer sheet to check your work. 

If you find this text tricky to read by yourself and an adult is not available to read it to you, try one of the phonics comprehensions instead. 

English 

For English today, we would like you to look at the images below and produce a short piece of writing which is inspired by one or more of them. You could choose to write:

- A description of Autumn or Bonfire night

- A poem about Autumn or Bonfire night

- A short story set in Autumn or around Bonfire night 

- A recount of an Autumn event (Hallowe'en, Bonfire night, an Autumn walk)

- Anything else you can think of that you would like to write with an Autumnal theme

Remember to use adjectives and expanded noun phrases as we have been doing in class. 

We can't wait to read your work! 

Maths 

For today's school closure you will have two maths tasks to complete. You can do this by editing the document online, downloading and printing it off or writing your answers out on paper. (We know this may prove difficult as you will have access to different resources at home so please just try your best). 

The tasks are based on your geometry learning from last year. This will act as an opportunity for retrieval practice and provide an opportunity to secure the objectives from last year before moving on to this year's geometry objectives. 

Task 1: Recognise 2-D and 3-D shapes

Please watch the following video and complete the corresponding worksheet. (If you cannot edit the worksheet or print it out at home, try your best to write out the answers on a piece of paper).

Task 2: Make patterns with 2-D and 3-D shapes

Please watch the following video and complete the corresponding worksheet. (If you cannot edit the worksheet or print it out at home, try your best to write out the answers on a piece of paper).

Additional tasks: Optional

1) Go on a 2D and 3D shape hunt at home. Search for different shapes around your home- perhaps use a camera to take photos of them. 
2) Make a picture only using 2D shapes- you could draw around items in your home e.g. a cup. 
3) Create your own shape patterns.
