Year 5 Main Writing Tasks
Our main work for the next two weeks, we will be based on the unit ‘Wonderful Wizards.’ This is a Talk 4 Writing booklet which takes us into a world of magic where you can expect to find some interesting characters and a whole school of wizardry. There are lots of activities involving Top Trump cards, creating magical spell words and there is a lesson on imperative verbs to help you prepare for writing an advert for your own school of magic next week. If you can reach page 14 this week, that would be fantastic but don’t worry if you can’t.
Grammar and Punctuation
The lessons below will help you understand some of the tasks in your Talk 4 Writing booklet in more depth. Take a look when you come across these terms in the unit. There are some practice activities to go with them.
Reading lessons and activities
Follow the reading lesson and activities based on ‘Macbeth.' You will need to practise your reading and listening skills before analysing the different characters and your impressions of them.
There are lots of reading activities to complete in Around the World this week. Why not find out more about the Hainan Gibbon from a remote island of China? (Day 61)
