Please complete the subtraction calculations. Answers will be provided tomorrow.

Some of you will have an extra addition and subtraction booklet in your pack. If you wish, you may do some of the activities in this booklet instead.

SPELLING

Read Write Inc. Books

This week's spellings all end in the suffix -able.

You can't really hear the a when we say the suffix -able. It sounds like ubble to rhyme with trouble.

We can add -able to some root words without making any changes to them.

understand        understandable

When a root word ends in e, we drop the e before adding -able.

adore    adorable

When a word ends in a consonant + y, we swap the y for an i before adding -able.

rely    reliable

Miserable is an unusual word. We just drop the y

misery   miserable.

Please complete the Spelling Zone and Dots and Dashes, on page 12 and 13, in your RWI book.

Next, write out your spellings in your best bubble writing. Look at the picture above. Experiment. Create some exciting lettering. Use colours. You will usually find your spellings for the week on the SPELLING STAR.

After you have watched the video lesson, we hope that you will be able to make some paper. REMEMBER you must ask a grown-up before you start making your paper so that they are aware of what you are doing. They can help to keep you safe.

Click here for today's lesson. Don't forget to write the date and title of the lesson in your Lockdown Learning book.

LITERACY

Poetry

Kennings

A Kenning is a way of describing something using clues rather than saying what it is.

Each line in a Kenning poem has only two words. These words are joined using a hyphen.

The two words are either a noun and a verb or two nouns.

Heat-giver

Light-maker

Click on the document below. Read through the Kenning poems. Can you guess what each poem is about before you get to the end?

Writing a Kenning

If I was writing a kenning about a baby, this is how I would start. 

I would write a list about what the baby does, how she moves, what she eats and anything else that reminds me of a baby.

 I'd think of a noun  (person, place, thing) connected with babies.

My noun is 'nappy'.

I would link the noun with a verb (doing word) and add 'er' on the end. This turns it into an 'er' noun.

My verb is wet. I add 'er' to turn it into an 'er' noun ' wetter'.

I would put the two words together.

Nappy-wetter

This is what my planning would look like.

I would like you to plan a Kenning entitled ' Who Am I?' 

The poem should be about yourself. Are you a  goal scorer or a cake baker? Are you a bike rider or sister teaser? Are you a hedgehog protector or a tree climber?  List things that you do or that you like. What are your hobbies? What is special about you?  What are you good at?

List your ideas and then brainstorm your two word expressions.

Have fun!

BOOK MAKING

You will need

• one sheet of plain A4 paper
• pencil, pen
• ruler
• rubber
• coloured pencils
• a glue stick (if you want to secure the pages)

Do you remember making your riddle book last term? Well, I would like you to make another mini- book.

The book has six pages and a front and back cover. It will be perfect for presenting and sharing your Kenning poem.

The poem should be arranged across the pages. Maybe, the last page could include a hand drawn picture of yourself? To make your book even more appealing, include other illustrations.

Design an eye-catching front cover. Write the title 'Who Am I?'. 

Design a back cover.

We will share the books when we return to school. Click here for a reminder about book making.

WE DON'T EXPECT YOU TO FINISH THIS TODAY. SET ASIDE SOME TIME ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY TO FINISH IT.
