Reading

Here’s today’s chapter from Pax:

Daily Video

Here’s today’s animation:

and some questions to get you thinking:

1.) At the start of the video, what was the old man trying to do?
2.) When the man went to put the box outside, what was he worried about?
3.) What does the man do to try and get the mouse to eat the crumbs?
4.) What does the mouse do when the man goes to stroke him?
5.) At the end, what does the man do to make the mouse get closer to him?

Writing

Today’s writing task is to write 1 – 2 paragraphs predicting what would happen next in today’s daily video. Try to think carefully about what has happened in the video and what that makes you think could happen next.

You could either write this as a prediction (e.g. I think that….. because….) or you could write as short descriptive piece of writing (e.g. Slowly, the mouse crept further up the man’s shirt…)

Music

Your music task also relates to today’s daily video (so, you may want to re-watch it – again).

Animations and films use music to create a particular atmosphere or mood. In this clip, the music changes several times. Your task is to choose 4 different points in the clip, write what atmosphere is created and a description of how the music creates this atmosphere.

e.g. When the mouse is about to get trapped in the box, there is a tense atmosphere. The music helps create this by slowing down and increasing the length of the notes.

Writing:

Please note that you could have some of these coloured in differently – as some could be more than one. Technically speaking, all (apart from Mr. Masood, London, Titanic and Atlantic Ocean) can be classed as common nouns – as all nouns are either common or proper.

However, here’s some other specific examples which you may have different:

– Pride can be an abstract noun (if referring to the feeling of pride); it could also be a collective noun (if referring to a pride of lions).
– Friendship is an abstract noun, but could also be considered a compound noun.

3.) What happens to the scissors in this animation?
4.) What happens to the rock in this animation?
5.) Who was you favourite character and why?

Geography:

Yesterday’s task was tricky – especially with some historic counties being divided over time. For example, Yorkshire is a historic county which, due to it massive size, was divided into the counties of North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and East Riding of Yorkshire.

Also, the counties of major cities can be confusing. For example, the City of London is found in the county of “Greater London” and Manchester is found in the county of “Greater Manchester” – whilst Liverpool is found in the county of “Merseyside”, Bristol’s county is simply called “Bristol” and, most confusingly, Birmingham is found in the county of “West Midlands”. The West Midlands is also the name for the larger region in which the  counties of Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Wawickshire, West Midlands (county) and Worcestershire can be found.

Here’s a map of the geographic (or “ceremonial”) counties of England:

Some of the county names have been shortened so that they fit. The easiest way to tell if a name has been shortened on a map is that a full stop is put after the name. Here’s a list of the full names of those that have been shortened:

– South Yorks. = South Yorkshire
– Derbs. = Derbyshire
– Notts. = Nottinghamshire
– Heref. = Herefordshire
– Worcs = Worcestershire
– Oxon. = Oxfordshire
– Warks. = Warwickshire
– Staffs. = Staffordshire
– Greater Manc. = Greater Manchester
– Leics. = Leicestershire
– Cambs. = Cambridgeshire
– Bucks. = Buckinghamshire
– Beds. = Bedfordshire
– Herts. = Hertfordshire
– Glos. = Gloucestershire
– Northants. = Northamptonshire

Thank you to George R, who spotted there was a slight mistake on the blank map of English counties. Herefordshire and Worcestershire were merged together on the original map – which must been an older map.

Here’s an updated map:

Reading

As mentioned yesterday, I will be sharing a chapter of the book Pax every day – which did mean I had to very brave and record myself reading.

Here’s today’s chapter:

Writing

Based on what you’ve just listened to from chapter 16, write a short diary entry as if you were Peter on that day. Think about what things you’re going to write in your diary entry and how it would have made you (Peter) feel.

Daily Video

As quite a few of you said you enjoyed yesterday’s short animation, I thought I’d try to include them more regularly – along with some questions to get you thinking.

Here’s today’s:

1.) In this clip, there are two scenes. Who do you think the two young Chimpanzees are?

2.) The two Chimpanzees play in two different styles; which of the two Chimpanzee’s playing is more formal?

4.) What do you think the relationship between the two chimpanzees is?

5.) How do you think the lives of the two chimpanzees have been different?

6.) Rank the four character’s (the gorilla caretaker, the chimpanzee caretaker, the chimpanzee pianist and the monkey piano teacher) from 1 – 4 (one being the most and 4 being the least) for each of the following characteristics:
a.) Funny
b.) Talented
c.) Strict
d.) Happy

7.) Interestingly, although this animation is called “Monkey Symphony”, there is only one monkey in it. Gorillas and Chimpanzees are actually apes (like humans). How do you think that we know the piano teacher is a monkey and not an ape?

Geography

Our topic this term is going to be “Tudor Shropshire”. Shropshire is a county of England. England has 48 counties.

Your Geography task is a bit of a challenge: see how many counties you can label on the map below as possible – you don’t need to find them all. You can use an atlas and/or any web resources as you wish.

Don’t worry about the coloured counties as these are not part of England. The pink counties are Scottish, the yellow are Welsh and the green are Northern Irish.

Bonus question: does anyone know why the Republic of Ireland has not been included on this map?

I hope you’ve all had a good Easter.

This term, the set up of our activities has changed slightly – as I’m looking to try and include some of the content which had not yet been covered in school this year. This will be most noticeable in maths, where there will be a video for you to watch and some activities to follow. Year 5 and Year 6 will have different videos/activities to complete – it is important you stick to your year group. The Year 5s’ activities will, to begin with, be a recap of some of the work we did before the school closure. There will still be some EBM questions and, if you’re still up for some more maths after you’ve done your activities, there will still be some bar model questions available as an extension task.

I’ve tried to make this as easy as possible to follow and will try to include everything needed on a single post. If you have any questions about anything, feel free to email me (class4@brownclee.shropshire.sch.uk).

Although a new “maths lesson” will be available every day, please don’t feel pressured to keep up – especially if you feel that you need to spend more than one day on a session.

As always, you don’t have to do these activities at a set time or in a set order – that’s all up to you. Also, you don’t have to be doing work all day! Feel free to send in some pictures or videos of some of the other things you have been doing at home.

Reading

As always, you should be regularly reading your own reading books; however, the author and publisher of last term’s class read (Pax) have given permission to do some readings. To start with, I thought it would best if we recapped what had happened so far (as it was over 4 weeks since we last read it together). Starting from tomorrow,  I will include a video of a reading from Pax.

Fitting with the theme of foxes, here’s a short animation called “A Fox and A Mouse”.

After watching this video, see if you can answer these questions:

1.) At the start of the clip, what did you think the fox was trying to do to the mouse?
2.) What made you think this?
3.) How was this different to how you felt at the end of the clip?
4.) In this clip, what could the fox do that the mouse couldn’t?
5.) In this clip, what could the mouse do that the fox couldn’t?
6.) What country do you think this animation is set in? Explain your answer.
7.) Choose one word to describe each of the characters.

Science

Our science topic for this term is going to be “Living Things and their Habitats”, so it would be fantastic if you want to do anything outdoors at home to do with living things and the habitats in which they live in. Remember to send in any photos you wish to share.

To get you started, here is a couple of vocabulary jigsaws on living things and their habitats. Don’t worry if you find these tricky (particularly the second one); we’ll try and cover some of the aspects over the rest of the term.

Activity Sheet Living Things Jigsaw

If there are any questions, or you’re finding anything difficult, please don’t hesitate to contact me (class4@brownclee.shropshire.sch.uk). I look forward to hearing from you all.

Thank you for the pictures of your work you sent in today. I’ve got quite a few letters for the care home – which I will pass on to Miss Relph, who will email them over. If you’ve still got a letter you wish to share, you can email them to the class 4 email address (class4@brownclee.shropshires.sch.uk) and I can pass them on.

and here’s the most value players from each house:

Here’s some of your work from today:

Whilst I won’t be putting work on the website over the next two weeks (it’s the Easter holidays), if you still want to share any photos or videos of what you’ve been up to over the break, then email them to me and I can post them on the website for everyone else to see after the 2 weeks.

If you do start getting a bit bored over the break, remember, Rob Biddulph does his ‘draw-along’s every Tuesday and Thursday – http://www.robbiddulph.com/draw-with-rob – and there’s always Spelling Shed, TTRS and ReadTheory to keep you busy!

Have a good 2 weeks “off”, keep safe and I hope to see you all soon!
