Can you think of where you may find instructions? 

Make a map of where you might find them. for example how to make a Harry Potter lego set. 

Can you think of any features (things you might see) in instruction texts?

Instructions can be written down or it can be interactive.

Watch the video to learn a bit about writing instructions: 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zgqxwnb/articles/zfrcmfr 

Have you watched the game show ‘Countdown’? 

Watch the clip (see http://www.channel4.com/programmes/countdown ). 

take some notes on w/boards about what happens. 

If we were going to teach someone how to play ‘Countdown’ we would need to give them some instructions. Some vocabulary/sentence openers will need to be used such as: first, next, after that, finally. 

You will need some bossy verbs as well. If you can’t remember what they are, watch the video provided.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zv98jhv 

Activity - Write a set of instructions for the presenter who puts out the letters for the Letters Round. Think about each step, acting it out, and developing a set of instructions, remembering to use bossy verbs and time connectives. For example, First, ask the player if they want a consonant or vowel. Then, turn over the cards. Read out the letter each time, etc. You may want to use writing frame to help structure your writing (see resources).

Recap: What are the features of instructional texts?

Instructions are only good instructions if you can follow them!

Let’s test out this theory.  We are going to watch how to make a pirate hat

on You tube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vRyPXNenPQ

Using the newspaper/paper, see if you can make a pirate hat (no help from an adult), while we watch the video for the second time.

Evaluate: Could you follow the instructions?

Were they sequenced and easy to follow? 

If you were making your own video, what would you have to do?

An important feature of instructions is the use of ‘bossy’ verbs which usually open sentences, e.g. Put the pen down. Be quiet. Sometimes these verbs can be a bit boring, so we are going to create some much more interesting sets of instructions by using powerful verbs! 

Write the sentence: Close the door. What is the verb? Underline Close. Can you change a verb close into a more interesting verb that has a similar meaning, e.g. slam, shut, bang. 

Repeat with Eat all of your dinner, e.g. eat can be changed to gobble, scoff or wolf, etc.

Activity - Use the ‘Powerful Verbs’ resource (see resources). Read each sentence and underline the verb. Then swap the verb for a more powerful one e.g. Wash your hands could be changed to Scrub your hands. Use the verbs from the word bank on the sheet to help you. You may even write some of your own!

Topic - RE

Today we are going to look at beliefs and values within religious teachings.

What do you think the belief of Christians is?  What do they value?

Jesus used stories to help people understand what he wanted to teach them. These are called parables. They have a deeper meaning (a bit like a fable or moral tale) and can be interpreted in different ways. Go through the power point of the story Fishers of Men – Matt 4:19 and answer the questions on each of the slides as you read through it.

Can you then think and make a list of everyone who has taught you something – how did the best teachers make sure that you remembered?  Jesus taught by example and by stories.

Your task is to read a variety of parables and discuss what you think Jesus is trying to teach us in the parable

The Unforgiving Servant (Matthew 18 v 21-35) 

https://www.dltk-kids.com/bible/cv/unmerciful_servant_cv.htm

The Good Samaritan

https://www.dltk-kids.com/bible/cv/good_samaritan.htm

The Prodigal Son (Luke 15 v 11-32)

https://www.dltk-kids.com/bible/cv/lost_son.htm

Brainstorm all the things Jesus has been teaching about in these parables.

Write an adverb to match the bossy verb on your piece of paper. For example:

Mix   quickly,

Wednesday English

Grammar: Today you will be looking at articles. Please click on the link to help you with todays work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzUbuygnqOY&safe=active  

Today we will look at doing a story map based on The Ostrich and Penguin. I have left a story map based on it but I have only just started it to give you an idea of what to do. Make sure you use arrows for every event. A story map retells the story using the key events.

Activity 1: First create a story map based on The Ostrich and Penguin. You could use some of your speech and thoughts that you used last week. You should then be able to retell the story using the pictures only. 

Please listen to The Boy Who Cried Wolf: 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/school-radio/english-ks1--ks2-aesops-fables-the-boy-who-cried-wolf/zdsft39 

 Remember a fable always ends with a 'moral'. This is the lesson that is intended to be learnt through reading the story.

What do you think the moral is?

There is not one correct moral, and that meanings have changed for people, over the hundreds of years that they have been retold.

Discuss 

The Moral of the Story? (see resources).

Who do you agree with and why?

Activity 2: Look at the different fables and think about the different morals that could be drawn from them. 

Wednesday - Topic: PSHE

Today we are going to look at the difference between dangers and risks.

A danger is a threat to someone in some way e.g stepping out into the road without looking.

A risk is when someone can weigh up the danger and make a decision about what to do e.g. looking for traffic and only stepping into road when it is clear.

Can you think of some examples of dangerous situations?

Now give some examples of a risky situation.

What sort of things could be risky at school? At home? In the street?

Activity - Look at the pictures and the Risk Hazard Danger Word Mat. Discuss how risky or dangerous the pictures are, describing each one using the words: risk, hazard, danger, threat, harmful, unsafe, safe, safety, protection, injury, accident, dangerous, risky, poisonous, ill, hurt and careful.

Looking at your plan from yesterday, today you are going to write your own fable. Here is one that I have written to help you or it can be a guide. I have only written my example to when the animal says go, but I would love you to be creative with what happens. I have left a checklist to remind you of certain parts you may use.

It was a bright, sunny day in the jungle, the birds were tweeting in the tall trees and there was a slight breeze flowing in the air. Lion came strolling through the jungle shouting “I’m the King of the jungle, I’m the king of the jungle!” The other animals were SO fed up of hearing Lion boasting about how he was the best animal in the jungle. Tortoise said “ Well, I think that Lion needs to be taught a lesson and fast! I think I have just the solution.”  Tortoise walked up to Lion and quietly said  “ I challenge you to a race” 

“Ok” roared Lion, “ No problem”. 

The two animals agreed to have a race, the plan was to race round the track in the jungle. They agreed to meet by the largest bamboo tree in the centre of the jungle at 3pm. “ Good luck, you’ll need it” said Lion as he strolled off.

It was 3pm and the sun was burning like a ball of fire, all the animals of the jungle had gathered around the jungle ready to watch the race. Elephant had been chosen to be judge. Lion was busy showing off, doing star jumps, and press ups and showing his muscles. Tortoise just stood quietly thinking about the race. 

Elephant said “ Right you two, no cheating and remember the winner of this race will be the king of the jungle” “On your marks……….GET SET……. GOOooooooo!”

Topic: Computing

Today we are going to think about different methods of communication.

Was it the message they had sent or had it changed? 

Can you think of some advantages of sending a message verbally and are there any disadvantages?

English: We are going to start looking at Fables for the next few weeks. Please watch 'The Sun and the Wind' https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zjt76sg Discuss what a fable is and ask children to think of other fables that they know.(A fable is a story that features animals, plants or forces of nature which are anthropomorphised (given human qualities). A fable always ends with a 'moral')

Today we are going to turn nouns into plurals. The word plural means more than one. Write down some nouns in your book. You are then to think what more than one would be. Go through the power point. Complete the sheet.

Topic Science: Play the ‘Questions about Light’ video on the Teachers Media website (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3m6iexbPH0). The context provides a series of questions about light, shadows, torches and opaque, translucent and transparent materials. Ask children and discuss these questions.

Complete the word definitions for the topic. Use dictionaries to help or an online one.

Maths: We are starting to look at multiplication and division. Please watch the power point and complete the questions.
