Posted: Jun 11, 2020 by: Liam Kershaw (LKershaw) on: Class 4
Morning, Class 4! I have really enjoyed doing some work with you this week. Miss Watkins, Mrs Kendal and I have all agreed that I can do your blog every Tuesday from now on, so I will be with you regularly. A big big thank you for your emails this week, I have really been so impressed with your engagement with the blog work. It means a lot!
Here is today's work:
Reading
Another 30 minutes of reading today. I have really enjoyed seeing you all reading in different places - keep them coming!
Grammar
On Fridays, in my class, I do a grammar lesson. One of the big things you learn about in Year 5 grammar is modal verbs.
Modal verbs introduce another verb and they tell you how possible something is.
An example of some are: must, shall, will, should, would, can, could, may, might.
They nearly always go before another verb and tell you either how possible something is or how necessary it is.
Here are some examples of some:
1.) We should tidy our bedrooms. < The 'should' tells you that it is important that they do this.
2.) I might go to the park after school. < The 'might' tells you that it isn't definite that you are going to the park.
3.) He can do a back flip. < The 'can' tells you how able he is to do a back flip.
Here is a link to BBC Bitesize that tells you more about modal verbs.

Watch the 2 videos that explain modal verbs. Then there are some activities for you to do on the web page.
1.) Complete the interactive task where you identify the modal verb in each sentence.
2.) Then have a go at the quiz about modal verbs.
3.) There are then 2 sheets on modal verbs from Twinkl. Do the first one, and if you want, do the second as an extension.
Remember, this is Year 5 work, so it might seem a little difficult at times, but it is just to give you a head start next year.
Maths
Today in maths, I would like you to complete a speed tables sheet. I have attached a left-handed and right-handed sheet below if you need to print one out. Also, you can draw one out yourself if you don't have a printer.
I like to do a shout out on a Friday for people's speed tables scores or times. So, when you have done the speed tables, send me an email with either your time or your gaps, and I will give you a shout out tomorrow afternoon.
When you have finished this (or before if you want to get the practice in!), do some times tables practice on Times Table Rockstars.
Friday Challenge
For a Friday afternoon, I thought we could do something a little different. I really like challenges and tasks that result in everyone doing a different thing. So... I have some challenges for you to complete. You may need to spend some time planning these. I will provide some photographs of these on a blog this afternoon (although I may have to do the blog over the weekend if I run out of time tomorrow).
Each challenge is intentionally vague and you can interpret it how you like.
Challenge 1: Build the tallest thing.
Challenge 2: Take a surprising photo.
Challenge 3: Draw an animal. You can only use the hand you don't usually write with.
Challenge 4: Create four 2D shapes with something else. This one is REALLY vague, so you may all have different ideas how to do this.
PE
Keep active, even in the rubbish weather. Class 5 are working on their core strength today, so they are doing planks, sit ups and crunches.
