Below you will find all the learning for today. This includes reading, writing, maths and a foundation subject (Science, Geography, History, R.E, Computing, art or Design Technology). The coloured activities should be completed if your child is in that group in class. All reading texts and worksheets can be found at the bottom of the page, some reading texts will be posted Monday for use all week. 

Reading - Holes by Louis Sacher

Today we will read from the start of chapter 5. Stanley's first day at Camp Green Lake. We will stop reading where it says: "It's Squid, and that's X-ray."

Summary -

Summarise the events of Stanley's life - that we know about - up until this point. 

Clarify -

• Wearily - 
• like gentlemen - 
• Clarify any other words or phrases that you are unsure about yourself. It is important to read everything that we read, so clarifying is really important. 

Question -

Retrieval Questions:

1. Which tent is Stanley to call home for the next 18 months?
2. Who is Mr Pendanski?
3. Who does he say that is the only person Stanley should worry about is?

Inference Questions:

1. Why does Stanley decide not to tell Mr Sir that he was innocent?
2. What does Mr Pendanski say to try to make Stanley feel better about being here? (3 marks). 
3. What does Mr Pendanski look like?

Explanations: Green and Yellow

1. Why would the 2 boys Mr Pendanski calls over not be keen to talk to Stanley?

Predict - 

Who are Squid and X-ray? Why do you think they are here? Why were the pair of them so dirty?

Do not answer these questions 1 by 1, they are to get you thoughts going. Predict as much as you can about the 2 boys using all we know so far to support your answer. 

Writing - The Highwayman

The Highwayman

In this lesson you will use all the vocabulary planning we've done so far to help us plan a 'close up' narrative opening of the story.

Your writing warm up is reminder of sentences with main and subordinate clauses - remind yourself of these with the song from Monday.

Today you will be planning a setting description of the first part of the poem, you will need to think about four elements of the setting, the sky, the moors, the trees and the highwayman. As you work through today's teaching video you will gather words and phrases to use in your writing tomorrow. Be careful to organise your plan into four sections as this will help you tomorrow to write in paragraphs.

Green and Yellow - Orange and Red - Blue  - All groups today should follow the video clip to create a plan for tomorrow.

Maths - Reflection

Today you will continue your learning on reflection across a mirror line. So far you have reflected regular shapes across a mirror line. Today you will be asked to reflect your shape across the x or y axis. This means that if you reflect across the y axis you will reflect your shape across the line from left to right. If you are asked to reflect across the x axis then you reflect your shape across the line up and down. This link  will help you and your worksheet is at the bottom of the page.

Green and Yellow - Complete questions 1 - 4 then challenge yourself with the last two.

Orange and Red - Complete questions 1 - 4

Blue -  

Moving on from halves we now will look at quarters:

• One of four equal parts
• Written as 1/4
