English Work For Week 3 (20th – 24th April)

English Aims For This Week:

  • Accurately use relative clauses, such as: who, which, where, when, whose, that or an omitted relative pronoun. DEPTH: Use of embedded clauses
  • Introduce The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes
  • Annotate the text with key features and suggested meanings
  • Create a glossary for The Highwayman
  • Identify similes and metaphors within the poem
  • Summarise the main ideas drawn from more than one paragraph

 

Don’t forget to write the L.I. and long date at the start of each English piece of work in your home school learning book.

 

Monday:

LI: to accurately use relative clauses, such as: who, which, where, when, whose, that or an omitted relative pronoun

 

Check out Max and Harvey singing about relative clauses:  https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers/ks2-english-relative-clauses-with-max-harvey/z4ndvk7

 

Read both pages of Monday Info Sheet.

 

Look at the Monday worksheet:

  1. Play the relative clauses game on p.1 – if you don't have a dice, create your own pack of six cards (label them 1-6) and pick a card at random. 
  2. On p.2, have a go at adding a relative clause to simple sentences and then decide whether sentences contain essential or non-essential relative clauses (and decide whether sentences contain essential or non-essential relative clauses (and add in the missing commas!). The answers to the last activity are on the last page.

 

Tuesday:

LI: to read The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes and annotate the text with key features and infer suggested meanings

 

Open Tuesday Book Cover and spend some time looking at the cover of this narrative poem.

 

Jot down the answers to the following questions in your home learning book:

  • What can you tell about this character from the illustration?
  • Who might this person be?
  • What might he be like?

 

Open Tuesday Worksheet which shows the first two pages of the poem. Read the text a few times to yourself or to an adult and then listen to Miss Taylor reading it aloud by clicking on the following link: https://youtu.be/UELt6z3yENA – read the text whilst you listen to it being read aloud.

 

Using a dictionary and google images to help you annotate these the text on the worksheet. Think about the following:

  • What do the complex words mean?
  • What can you infer from the text?
  • What questions do you have?

 

Have a quick glance at Tuesday WAGOLL to give you an idea of what we are looking for and then you can look at this again once you have finished to see if you came up with similar things.

 

Extension: draw your version of what you think the highwayman looks like.

 

Open The Highwayman, by Alfred Noyes to read the rest of the poem and then listen to your Year 5 teachers reading the whole poem of The Highwayman:

https://youtu.be/RfzYaUr8poQ (we hope you enjoy our dramatic narrative voices!).  

 

Wednesday:

LI:  to create a glossary for The Highwayman

 

Open Wednesday The Highwayman poem – you will need to keep this with you when you watch the following video as some verses don’t appear on the clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryu1JZiSbHo stop at the following points to read the verses on your copy (in yellow) and then continue watching video:

  • STOP 1: 0:28 & read verse 2 (‘He’d a French cocked-hat…’)
  • STOP 2: 1:40 & read verse 6 (‘He rose upright…’)
  • STOP 3: 2:05 & read verses 8-11 (‘They said no word to the landlord…’ to ‘….love’s refrain’)

 

If you would like you, you could also listen to the video you watched yesterday of your teachers reading the poem aloud.

 

Look at your work from yesterday – what words did you learn? Today you are going to create a glossary for the rest of the poem.

 

Open Wednesday Worksheet and use a dictionary (online dictionaries are fine too) to find out the definitions of the highlighted words. You will need to consider the context of the text (e.g. “harry” is a boy’s name but this isn’t the correct definition of the word used in this context – so think carefully!

 

If this is too tricky, use the Wednesday Ch1 Help Sheet which has the muddled-up definitions – try to work out which one goes where.

 

See if you came up with a glossary which is similar to Wednesday Answers.

 

Thursday:

LI: to identify similes and metaphors within the poem

 

Similes

Metaphors

 

 

Recap similes and metaphors using Thursday PowerPoint.

 

Open The Highwayman, by Alfred Noyes to read The Highwayman again and see how many metaphors and similes you can spot in the narrative poetry. You could print a copy of this and underline/highlight them on the page if you find this helpful – but you don’t have to.

 

Draw a line down the middle of your page – one side for similes & one side for metaphors like the example to the right. Note down your examples on each side.

 

Challenge 1: Work with an adult to find examples

 

Challenge 2/3: Find as many examples as possible, aiming for at least 5 of each.

 

Once you think you have found them all, open Thursday WAGOLL at the end and see how many of these you found. Well done if you found any others!  

 

Friday:  

LI: to summarise the main ideas drawn from a text

 

Open Friday 5 PPT and find out more about what Summarising Sheba does.

 

Open Friday Worksheet (make sure you view in slideshow mode) and complete the ‘Three Friends’ Comprehension task. The answers are at the end of the document.

 

Extension challenge: summarise the story of the Highwayman to someone in your house or maybe call a relative and summarise it to them!
