In preparation for our next Literacy unit on poetry, Class 5’s task over the next week is to research one significant (well-known) WW1 poet. Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon and Rupert Brooke are a few suggestions. Think about what you could find out about them e.g. their life, their role before/during/after (if they survived) WW1 and any poems they are famous for.

You can present your research in a format of your choice but it will be going on display so think about presentation.  We will be sharing everyone’s research in class on Monday 20^th.

I have given you a range of revision activities for the Easter holidays. It is up to you how much you complete but obviously the more you attempt the more there is for me to look through with you when you return to School. 

If you need adult help for any of the questions, please make a note by the question so that I know what we need to look at again after Easter.

If you want to contact me for any reason, feel free to email me with any questions or queries and I will get back to you as quickly as possible.

Have a good Easter holiday!

SATs week: Monday 12^th –Thursday 15^th May

Year 5 Literacy/Geography Homework

To be given in on Monday 28^th April 2014

Imagine you have been on holiday to Brazil.  Use what you have learnt this term to write a postcard to Class 5, describing your visit e.g. where did you stay, what was the weather like, where did you visit, what did you see, etc. I’ve included some key vocabulary to help you in the word bank below but I want you to use your own interesting vocabulary to make Class 5 believe that you had the best holiday ever! You can also draw/design an image on the reverse of the postcard to show the location(s) you visited.

If you need help or are stuck for ideas, email me on the details I gave you and I will reply straightaway. I’m really looking forward to reading everyone’s postcards which will make a fantastic display!

This week we are learning about the natural resources of Brazil, as well as the products it grows or manufactures. We have started to think about where these might be exported to and Tuesday night’s homework is to look around your own home to see which products of the rainforest are lurking in your cupboards!

I will be sending the survey sheet home (see below) on Tuesday night but if you are reading this now you have a headstart!
