We have been looking at The Adventures of Odysseus :The Cyclops Todays lesson is all about boxing up and understanding the structure of the text- You need to read though the powerpoint and consider what each paragraph is doing and what it adds to the text.
In the zoom we will be identifying all the features and structures- If you can’t make the zoom the last boxing up model has all the parts filled in.
We are then going to innovate our ideas as a class to write the same text using a joint innovation plan.
I’ll post this on the website if you miss it but otherwise you’ll need to box up your story from Thursday- It is really important you have exactly the same structure just with differences as this will give you guidance when you come to write your own at the end of the week!
Look at the attached sheet for the boxing up model and complete the blank boxes.
Here is the class innovation- Write the story following this plan
This afternoon: Continue with your art work- Looking at Van Gogh- remember you are creating a collage using the basic form of your picture of your favourite places as the guidance for the colourations

Morning Panthers
Friday! Week two has flown by already!
You guys are really impressing me with the continued uptake on Zoom - I'm proud of you all!
We have now completed 2 weeks of home learning and for most of us this has also meant not being able to go out or see people which is hard at times. I’m sure all of us are finding it very strange and it can help doing different things to keep our minds busy and trying new things to cheer ourselves up and keep the boredom away. With this in mind, I thought it would be a good idea to all create a group ‘Boredom Buster’ - a selection of things that you guys can do when you’re feeling a bit fed up. My idea would be play a board game or create your own exciting milkshake! Maybe you could play with your pets or learn a new dance.? If you could all come up with 2 ideas ready to share we can discuss them on our zoom call at 11am. I will then put all the responses together and then share with you all a collective ‘Boredom Buster’.
I thought we'd start with a sixty second read today! Mythical creatures!
Today we have maths again at 9:30am- the zoom link will be emailed out. Try to join in as it will explain the powerpoint as we work through it together!
Here is the power point for maths- we're looking at the same as yesterday but using remainders today- hopefully it will help you if you didn't understand fully yesterday
PowerPoint-Divide-2-Digits-by-1-Digit-2.pptx
The answers for yesterday are here!

PowerPoint-Multiply-4-Digits-by-1-Digit.pptx
11:00- Literacy by now you should have boxed up your stories and have written the first two paragraphs. First we might need to still finish or edit these- some of your ideas were excellent but for the contrasts try to look at the same thing in the opposite- if you are talking about the view stick with the view for what it’s like now – if you talk about the people makes sure that the people area mentioned in the second bit!
I’d like you to have a go at writing your next paragraphs: the problem and then the introduction to the second character and their wishes- remember the 2 wishes and the contrast for each within the writing.
Again you can use the links from earlier in the week to read the original story and the innovation to magpie the structure.
We are going to be looking at Van Gogh this half term- a different artist to last time!
I’d like you to look at the powerpoint that tells you all about his life and then have a look at the second sheet that shows one of his famous paintings called The Starry Night-
Answer the questions and then have a go at drawing using pencil only- I don’t want yet- this is just your draft try to mimic the style you can see in the picture- I’m looking forward to seeing your favourite places even if we may not be able to visit them at the moment!
Don’t forget you need to keep up with Times Table Rock Stars and also practice your reading-
Mrs Vincent is expecting to see lots of reading entries in your reading diary- hopefully you got lots of new books for Christmas you can dip into too!

Worksheets are here! Maths-Sheets.docx
11:00am There will be another Zoom session to look at the literacy today! Link to follow!
11:00-12:00 Yesterday you should have had a go at boxing up your own story- you might need to still finish or edit these- remember the features that should be the same in your version too- remember the use of contrast in the original – the first wish “how she wished for the scent of the orange blossom” for example and then the contrast of what it is like here “here it just smelt like city streets”
I’d like you to have a go at writing your first two paragraphs from your boxing up model- the setting up to the first characters wish- remember to include the main points and you must stick to your plan! Try to use interesting language related to your setting just like we did with the Boris the Badger story we innovated!
I’d like to have these emailed to me if possible it would be great to have something to look at!
Again you can use the links from yesterday to read the original story and the innovation to magpie the structure.
This afternoon I would like you to continue with your Ancient Greek work-
I’d like you to re-watch the video from yesterday that taught you all about where Greece was and the structure of the society.
You have two tasks for this today-
1) I’d like one really good paragraph about the things you have found out from the video.
2) I would like you to produce a poster that shows me the main points about the video too!
You could draw mountains, where it is and the different aspects of the video that explain the different parts of society.
Try to make it look really attractive and colourful too!
Don’t forget you need to keep up with Times Table Rock Stars and also practice your reading-
Mrs Vincent is expecting to see lots of reading entries in your reading diary- hopefully you got lots of new books for Christmas you can dip into too!

Happy New Year!
This wasn't really how we wanted to start this year, however- we find ourselves in situation where once again we are in National Lockdown and that we are having to learn from home!
Things are different in terms of learning this time round- we'll get through it together and will ne having much more contact this time round-
From tomorrow -There will be a zoom lesson for Numeracy each day at 9:30 this will talk through the power point on the website and explain the work.
For today- I have attached the powerpoint for you to work through yourself and hopefully understand what is expected we are starting a unit on multiplication and today is multiplying 2 digits by 1 digit- I will recap this in the live lesson tomorrow.
powerPoint-Tuesday-Multiply-2-Digits-by-1-Digit.pptx
Here are also the worksheets to go with them- remember you don't need to complete them all - just challenge yourselves appropriately.
Then after break at 11:00 until 12:00 it will literacy time- Literacy is boxing up your own story- If you remember before Christmas we wrote our own class story based on Coral Ocean about Boris the Badger- read through both to start with and look at the similarities between the two texts-We began boxing up Boris in the same structure that can be applied to all wishing tales- have a look at the boxing up sheet to see how the basic story structure is mimicked in the other- we are only going up to the wish not the end
Wishing-Tale-Plan-Autosaved.docx
You need to plan and come up with your own stories for these two ideas where two characters have a wish-We innovated by changing the character into animals and coming from different places. You can change whatever you wish but follow the same basic format- I will read Coral Ocean and Boris to you on Zoom and look at the similarities, then you will have a go at planning and boxing your own ideas- hopefully you’ve got the pen and paper to be able to do this! I've attached a blank boxing up sheet for your plans When you finish you can email me a copy or a photo for me to have a look at!
Finally we are starting a unit on Ancient Greece
Have a go at this what I already know sheet- Do you know anything about Ancient Greece already?
Is there anything you would like to find out?
Now watch the video on the link and have a go at the quiz- it will take you through looking at where Greece is, a little about the Geography and the structure of Ancient Greek Society
See you all tomorrow!
