Grammar
- Read a chapter of your reading book. Write down any examples of relative clauses within the text that you have identified.
- Look at the picture below. Write a paragraph about the image using a relative clause within each sentence. Remember to think about the relative pronoun and noun that the clause is adding information about. Use all of your year 5 writing skills.
Explore changing the position of the relative clauses to see the effect on the sentence.
Spelling
The ‘ear’ spelling pattern
We have investigated the different sound that the ‘ear’ spelling pattern makes. We’ve found 3 different sounds. E.g search (er), beard (ear), pear (air).
Can you write your own string of words for each pattern?
Which is the most common sound from what you find?
Can you write your own poem using as many of these words as possible?
Extra task: Try to make lines one, two and five rhyme and then lines three and four rhyme with each other.
Maths
Please complete the mental maths test that you have been given.
This week’s homework was interesting because it got me to use my deep understanding of relative clauses to complete the task. The reeding part of the grammar was hard because in writing nowerday the authors do not use as many relative clauses as used to; it makes it hard to locate them!
You can say that again
I found 0 relative clauses in my book: The World Of Norm because it is more of a diary than an actual story.
