Time Capsule
Home learning during Lockdown
We hope you are staying safe and finding the class pages helpful to support your home learning. We are continuing to include a range of activities for you and your child to choose from, but please don’t feel that you have to complete them all! It is important that you enjoy your family time together.
We have tried to make the home learning more user friendly by:
- Arranging activities in days with a green 'click on' link to a specific activity
- Putting resources in PDF format where at all possible
- Please scroll down the page to find all the previous resources
Try to do a little Maths and English each day, but then you might choose activities that particularly interest your child, or activities you can easily find the resources for at home. Don’t forget to email us pictures of any work that you’d like us to see!
The Underwater pictures now with their plastic pollution! This is what humanity is doing to our oceans!

Day 2 –
Think of all the criteria you have used over the last 2 weeks to complete your ‘Journey’ and ‘Quest’ stories. Think about a character/2 characters going on a journey/quest. Why are they wanting to escape? How will they get there? What settings will they see? How will they travel around these settings? What is the problem? How will it be solved? How do/does your character(s) get back to their real world?
Create a storyboard planner to jot down your ideas. Make descriptive notes to accompany each slide as your plan. Ask yourself: How can we paint a picture in our readers mind? What can we see? Why do you think...? What would be an effective vocabulary choice here? Why?
Include adjectives/powerful verbs/expanded noun phrases/prepositions/fronted adverbials. Include dialogue. Look at the writing prompt examples you have been given in your pack over these last 2 weeks and upskill your writing. Day 3
Remember to paragraph your work – TIP start a new paragraph for each picture! Include an interesting time adverbial to move each part of the story along (don’t forget the comma). Continue to describe each setting vividly using well-chosen vocabulary choices. What is the girl doing? What might the girl be thinking/feeling at each setting? Day 4
Continue through the settings telling the story looking very carefully at the details in the pictures – continue to remember to be very descriptive – experiment with different sentence starters/prepositions etc. Rehearse all the wonderful ways we have learnt that make our sentences more interesting to the reader. Day 5
How does your picture book end? Remember all good writers ‘purple polish’ their writing – your first choices may not always be the best choices!
See WC 1st June for other topics, RE and ideas for this half term! Continue with your time capsule and Black History learning. Remember to place your rock on the ‘Weston Worm’ outside the school. You may paint as many as you like! |

Day 2 –
Outcome of these 2 weeks is to create the descriptive setting writing and storyline missing in the picture books by Aaron Becker. This week I have also introduced writing direct speech.
We are using another wonderful picture book by Aaron Becker and watch: ‘Quest’ by Aaron Becker. (using picture books is ageless!)
This week, alongside our descriptive writing, we will focus on creating dialogue between the girl and the boy. Their relationship is friendship so this will need to be expressed in the speech you write. I have included rules for writing direct speech in the resources below.
Have another look at last week’s Journey story you wrote to remind yourself of the descriptions you used – how did you paint these pictures in your readers’ minds? Remember to use these vivid descriptions in the narrative parts of your story.
Start the video link again and pause at each different setting to jot down description and possible dialogue between the two children at each scene. Use the story board planning sheet (1) to help organise and sequence the events. Ask yourself: How can we paint a picture in our readers mind? What can we see? Why do you think...? What would be an effective vocabulary choice here? Why? Include ideas to show the dialogue between the two children in speech bubbles. Include adjectives/powerful verbs/expanded noun phrases/prepositions/fronted adverbials. Look at the writing prompt examples you have been given on your pack.
Remember to paragraph your work – TIP start a new paragraph for each picture/change of scene! Include an interesting time adverbial to move each part of the story along (don’t forget the comma). Continue to describe each setting vividly using well-chosen vocabulary choices. What is the girl doing? What might the girl be thinking/feeling at each setting? What will the two children be saying to one another – follow the rules for writing direct speech.
Continue through the settings telling the story looking very carefully at the details in the pictures and the speech you have chosen – continue to remember to be very descriptive – experiment with different sentence starters/prepositions etc. Rehearse all the wonderful ways we have learnt that make our sentences more interesting to the reader. Keep using the direct speech writing rules!
How does this picture book end? Again, make your reader want to go on an adventure just like this one!

Day 2 –
Introduce the book and watch: ‘Journey’ by Aaron Becker. Outcome of the next 2 weeks is to create the descriptive setting writing and storyline missing in the picture books by Aaron Becker. Look at the planning sheet (1) as a prompt to some of the settings that tell some of the story from the book. Make descriptive notes to accompany each slide as your plan. Ask yourself: How can we paint a picture in our readers mind? What can we see? Why do you think...? What would be an effective vocabulary choice here? Why?
Include adjectives/powerful verbs/expanded noun phrases/prepositions/fronted adverbials. Look at the writing prompt examples you have been given on your pack.

English (Reading/Writing/Grammar):
It is really important for readers to know where a story is set and what that place is like. Authors often describe a setting in detail if it is unusual in some way. They try to appeal to the senses –what can you see, hear, touch, smell. How do you feel? 1/ Read the beach setting – children to complete picture of the setting described. 2/ Read the Great hall passage from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by JK Rowling- Children to draw, using the description in the passage, their impression of the Great Hall before they see the photo from the film. Now compare it to the video still. How did you do?
Identify what a preposition is. (http://www.educationquizzes.com/ks2/english/prepositions/) Go through the powerpoint slides to reinforce list of prepositions and how they fit mid-sentence> Children carry out: Task 1 identifying preposition activity as a best joined handwriting task. Task 2 Looking at the 2 pictures you drew from yesterday: Write some more sentences including prepositions.
Recap how we have improved our writing yesterday by adding prepositions to sentence starters or using them to improve our sentences. Task 1 Improve the description of the archway using prepositions/comparatives/superlatives and other powerful description – similes/adjectives/verbs/adverbials. Task 2 Begin to plan the Big write descriptions – Look at poor descriptions and improve.
Write up your best descriptions from the pictures in your best handwriting and send into school to share with the children here!

My Worries – Lockdown has been a different way of living and working for everyone. Not everyone will be able to come back to school on 1st June. Complete the thought clouds on the ‘My worries’ worksheet below then talk about your worries with your family. Read Silly Billy (click on weblink in 25th May resources for online book video)
Make a worry doll to ‘hold your worries’
Place a selection of objects of various textures into a box which can then be closed. Cut a hole in the top so that a hand to reach in. This can be fun and exciting, such as slime, plastic spiders, sliced melon, etc. Have each child reach into the box and feel something without looking or taking it out. Have them describe it and guess what it is. Blindfolded Taste Testing Please check the suitability of this activity for your child prior to use. Choose a variety of vegetables, fruit, and dried fruit and give a child a piece of food. Ask the child to taste a vegetable or fruit, describe it using all of their senses. They will quickly become absorbed in the tasting and describing. They also may wish to create a shape poem using the descriptive vocabulary used! |

Writing Traditional Stories from a Different Point of View (revision) Read a traditional fairy story. Three little pigs/three Billy Goats Gruff/Cinderella etc.
Watch:- "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs" (by Jon Scieszka) This tells the "Three Little Pigs" story from the wolf's point of view. Can think of a story that you know really well, and can you write another version from another point of view. e.g. Write "Cinderella" from the point of view of one of the ugly sisters, OR Write "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" from the point of view of Goldilocks.
I have included a story board planner to support your planning and ideas below.
