Framework for teaching – Year 5 Term 3 Week 6

Online and offline activities to support student learning at home. Most activities should take 30-45 minutes to complete.

Submitting work: Each day there will be an assignment set up in your Google Classroom. Please “Turn in” the highlighted piece of

work daily. Your teachers will provide feedback on your work. If you are proud of or something else, you can add that for your teacher to

see.

Please remember:

• We expect you to engage with and demonstrate your learning through our Google Classroom.

• You must “Turn In” the highlighted work samples each day. These are specific pieces of work.

• If we do not see reasonable evidence by “Turning In” work you will be marked as “absent”

Zoom Meetings: 3 per week - Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, at 10.30 (unless your teacher is at school teaching).

Login: Reading Eggs

** This task will be compulsory each week because your teachers would like to collect and review data on your reading and comprehension. We would like this task to be completed independently (like a test in class), so we can continue to monitor your amazing progress in reading.

Listen to Chapter 21 and write a paragraph summarising what happens in this chapter.

Think about the feedback your teacher gave you to last week’s summary. What do you need to do to improve this week?

Remember:

• Include what happened at the beginning, middle and end of the chapter

• Use the names of the characters – Ben, Flavio Flavioli, Mum and Dad

• Check to make sure your summary makes sense before turning it in.

Still focusing on Chapter 21, this chapter tells us:

Ben stood alone in the middle of the dance floor. A spotlight shone on him. The music started up. He was praying for some sort of escape from this. He would have been happy with anything at all, including:

A fire alarm

An earthquake

A deadly swarm of killer bees

A meteor from outer space hitting the earth

A tidal wave

Flesh-eating zombies

A hurricane or tornado

Being abducted by aliens

Dinosaurs returning to earth

A volcano erupting

An attack of giant slugs

Activity

Write an alternative ending to this chapter, using one of the ideas above.

Remember to include characters from this chapter: Flavio Flavioli, Ben, Mum and Dad, the judges, the audience and other contestants.

Police officers keep a detailed record (like a diary) of anything unusual which happens on their shift.

PC Fudge would have recorded his meeting with Granny and Ben riding a motorised mobility scooter on the motorway.

Below is the start of what his report may have looked like.

Complete PC Fudge’s report of that night including the following:

• When it happened (date and time)?

• Where it happened (name of motorway)?

• Description of Granny and Ben (what they were wearing)?

• Form of transport used?

• Discussion between PC Fudge, Granny and Ben?

• What PC Fudge decided to do and why?

English: Informative Writing – Infographics

Lesson focus: This week we will be continuing our work on infographics. Our topic will be NATURAL DISASTERS.

Reminder: Infographics are visual representations of information. An infographic is a collection of imagery, charts, and minimal text that gives an easy-to-understand overview of a topic.

Activity one:

This week you will be basing your infographic on the informative text you wrote in Week 2. This will help you, as you won’t need to do new research. Instead, you can focus on converting your written information into a visual infographic.

1. Locate the informative text you wrote in Week 2.

2. Read your text and highlight the key facts you

2. Think about how you can incorporate this feedback and use it to ensure this infographic is incredible.

Visual Hierarchy:

The most important thing to keep in mind when choosing how to arrange your infographic is visual hierarchy. Visual hierarchy is the way you arrange information in order of importance. This is an effective way to ensure that

3. Make sure you have enough facts, if you think you need more, you can do some research now.

4. Think about how you would like to create your infographic:

- Hand drawn

- Canvas

- PowerPoint

5. Use a research engine to look at different types of infographics to spark some of your creative ideas.

your audience doesn’t miss the most important parts of your text. Generally, people’s eyes are drawn to larger visual pictures, so the more important something is the larger it should be in your design.

Activity two:

1. Organise your information into a ‘visual hierarchy’. Identify the most important information you have.

2. On a blank piece of paper or post it notes, plan out the structure of your infographic. How do you want your infographic to look?

Volcanoes:

A volcano is an opening in the Earth that allows molten rock, called magma, from inside the earth to escape. When the

magma escapes, it is called an eruption. Volcanoes are formed when molten rock from inside the earth works its way to

the surface. Volcanic eruptions may be very destructive.

The Earth’s crust is made up of huge plates that move very slowly. Volcanoes are commonly found along the boundaries

between these plates.

Wednesday:

Solution: Lost

Thursday:

Solution: 4 giraffes = 32, that makes 1 giraffe worth 8.

2 tigers x 1 giraffe = 32. That makes 2 tigers worth 4, so one tiger equals 2.

Giraffe – tiger x 3 = 8 – 2 x 3 = 2, because BODMAS (Brackets, Order, Division,
