Online Clock Resourcehttps://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/116/telling_the_time

Top Tips - VIPERS -If you don’t have a dictionary at home, ask an older sibling or an adult to help explain some of the vocabulary. – You could work it out together.

Writing - Expanded noun phrases describe a noun in more detail. Instead of just “the dog played” you could say “a golden, energetic dog played joyfully on the soft, green grass” –

Make sure you include adjectives to describe your noun. E.g. a tall, leafy tree. Try to include verbs and adverbs too. E.g. A tall, leafy tree swayed peacefully. If you can think of a preposition (where

something is) for your expanded noun phrase, then that would be excellent! E.g. a tall, leafy tree swayed peacefully on the lonely hill.

Maths Take your time when reading the questions – you can do this!

The minutes on a clock ascend in multiplies of 5. Write out your five times table to help you answer today’s challenges. The challenge is drawing minutes to and minutes past.

Day 2 – Inference

“Mildred felt about an inch high” (paragraph 1).

An inch is about the length of your thumb.

What do you think this sentence tells you about how Mildred is feeling?

(Text below)

Setting Description

L.O: To use similes when describing a setting

S.C: I can use ‘like’ or ‘as’ to

compare similar things. I can use similes for effect I can choose sensible things to

compareTask:

Pick five expanded noun phrases you created yesterday and see if you can turn them into similes.

Example: The tall, green tree swayed in the wind like a pendulum swaying in a clock.

The fluffy, white clouds glided as silently as a whisper across the clear, blue sky.

Time

L.O: To tell the time using the 24-hour clock.

S.C I know that there is 24 hours in a day. I know the difference between AM

and PM I can subtract 12 from the hour to give

me afternoon time.

Task – Complete Tuesday’s worksheet at the end of this document using the success criteria.

Top TipsVIPERS -Remember that inference is ‘reading between the lines’ you are taking a sensible guess based on what you have read. For example, the text may say ‘The lady’s umbrella had gold gilded edges.’ From the text, we can infer that the lady is rich. It does not say she is rich, but we can tell from the evidence in the text.

Writing - A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two different things e.g. As tall as a skyscraper, brave like a lion.

Maths -Have a go at making a clock in your room – just like we did in class. Point to the correct time when you answer a question.For example - 19:00 - subtract 12 from the answer and point to 7 O’clock.

How does Miss Cackle feel about Mildred at the beginning of this extract?

(Text below)

Setting Description

L.O. : To write a description of a setting from a text or film

S.C. : I can use 'like' and 'as' to write similes

for effect. I can use conjunctions to link my

sentences together. I can write expanded noun phrases

when describing nouns. I can use capital letters and full stops

correctly. I can use fronted adverbials* to start a

sentence. I can use synonyms of common words

to up-level my sentences. I can include co-ordinating and sub-

ordinating conjunctions. I can write in the past tense. I can use my plan to structure my

Time

L.O: To measure time in seconds.

second is smaller than a minute.

I know that there are 60 seconds in a minute.

Task – Complete Thursday’s worksheet at the end of this document using the success criteria.

in each paragraph and use your similes and expanded noun phrases from earlier in the week.

Top TipsWriting - Read the part of the book aloud or watch the scene of the film again with someone and talk through the setting. This can help with recognising the details in the setting. What nouns (people, animals, places, things, feelings) are there in the setting and how can we describe these nouns in more detail? (expanded noun phrases)

A fronted adverbial is a word or phrase at the beginning of a sentence to give us more detail. It can tell us how, when or where something is taking place. You can use adverbs as fronted adverbials, E.g. Quietly, the figure creeped out from behind the rock. Or a phrase, e.g. As I looked around, all I could see was darkness spreading over the land.

What do we need after a fronted adverbial? A comma! An adverb describes a verb. It tells us how something is done. E.g. quietly, slowly, softly. Adverbs often end in –

ly. Expanded noun phrases describe a noun in more detail. Instead of just “the dog played” you could say “a

golden, energetic dog, played joyfully on the soft, green grass” A compound sentence uses co-ordinating conjunctions (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) and a complex sentence

uses subordinating conjunctions (if, since, as, when, although, while, after, before, until, because)

There is a list of common synonyms below to help you with your work.

Maths - No stopwatch? Smartphones and tablets all have stopwatch apps which can increase accuracy. – Ask an adult to help you find one.

Challenge - Who can run across the garden the quickest? Ask your adults or siblings to take part!
