Reading

LI: Retrieve information from the story.

Please log in to Purple Mash. I would like you to re-read Chapter 7 (our last chapter!)  of our Class Story, ‘The Settlers'. After you have read the chapter again, you have two tasks. 

1) Answer some SPAG (spelling, punctuation and grammar) questions relating to the chapter.

2) Answer some 'open-ended' questions about the chapter. Please write full sentences to answer these questions with reasons to support your answers. You can refer to things that have happened in the story in your answers.

LI: Write a book review

You have now finished reading The Settlers and today you will be writing a review of the story. Remember you wrote a book review last week about a book of your choice so try to think about all those same points when writing about The Settlers. I have set this task as a 2Do on Purple Mash and I have also set 2Dos for reading all of the chapters in case you need to read back through any of them to help with your review.

You will need to give a brief ‘synopsis’ (tell the main points of the plot), give your book a star rating and also give your opinion. Before you begin writing, have a think about these questions to help you.

• What are your thoughts about the story?
• What was your favourite part and why?
• What was your least favourite part and why?
• What sort of person would you recommend this book to?
• Would you want to read more books by the author? Why?

Maths

LI: Subtract money

Please watch the learning video on this link https://vimeo.com/498297373

Then complete the worksheets. Try to do these on ClassDojo if you can so you can complete them on screen and save to your portfolio. You can also find them here, though. Remember, if it is very tricky you can do just the first worksheet but challenge yourself as much as you can!

Reading Time – I would like you to spend some time reading a book of your choice. In each TEAMS lesson, I will invite some of you to share what you’ve been reading and make some recommendations. Remember, you all have your class login for the OxfordOwl ebook library, too. (Mercury12345)

Today I will read the next part of our class story and we will share our thoughts about it. I will also share some of the book reviews for ‘The Settlers’ that children have submitted on Purple Mash today as well as hearing from a few of you about other books you’ve been enjoying.
