L.O: To independently use a full range of reading skills and my knowledge of texts to find information and record my answer.
E – Explain
Re-read the text. At the end of the text,
Ken says ‘BEST DAY EVER’.
Using evidence from the text, find three reasons why he described it as the best day ever.
L.O: To write and correctly present dialogue for a play scene.
S.C:
· Look at your scene plan.
· Identify which characters will be speaking.
· Write down what each character will say in the scene in chronological order.
· Read back your dialogue to make sure it makes sense.
Now that you have planned the key events in your scene, you now need to consider what each character will say. This is called dialogue. Usually in a story, we indicate that a character is speaking using speech marks. However in a play script dialogue is presented differently.
For example:
“I need to go to the market!” shouted Jack.
In a play script we would write this as:
Jack: (shouting) I need to go to the market!
Using your character list and chosen scene from last week, draft the dialogue for your scene. Make sure you dialogue is in chronological order.
L.O: To understand that division is the inverse of multiplication.
S.C:
· Look at the equation.
· Identify the calculation you need to perform to find the missing number.
· Perform the calculation using a taught method.
· Fill in the missing number.
Division is the inverse of multiplication. This means we can use division to help us solve missing number problems involving multiplication.
For example:
10 x __ = 30 so 30 ÷ 10 = 3
Therefore, we know the missing number is 3.
Complete the equations on Wednesday’s maths task by using division to find the missing number.
Top Tips
Maths – Use a taught written method to help you find the missing numbers. An example of this is included with the Wednesday maths task.
English - When you have written your dialogue, read it back to ensure it makes sense.

1. Find and copy one word that means the same as good.
2. Find and copy things that you learned about the boat they travelled on.
3. Why does Ken use capital letters at the end of his blog?
L.O: To describe how things will be said and performed through stage directions.
S.C:
· Read through your dialogue from yesterday.
· Indicate how each section of speech will be said in brackets directly before the speech.
· Indicate any movement on stage using stage directions in brackets.
Read through your dialogue from yesterday. Check that it makes sense and consider how the character would say the dialogue. Add this into your speech, remembering to use brackets to indicate that it is an instruction for the actor.
Then consider whether any of your characters will need to move during the scene. Indicate this by using stage directions in brackets. See the example on Thursday’s English task.
L.O: To understand that multiplication is the inverse of division.
S.C:
- Look at the equation.
- Identify the calculation you need to perform to find the missing number.
- Perform the calculation using a taught method.
- Fill in the missing number.
Multiplication is the inverse of division. This means we can use multiplication to help us solve missing number problems involving division.
For example:
__ ÷ 3 = 7 so 7 x 3 = 21
Therefore, we know the missing number is 21.
Complete Thursday’s maths task by using multiplication to find the missing number in the equations.

Ken’s Summer Holidays on the Isle of Mull
L.O: To summarise the main ideas drawn from more than one paragraph.
S – Summarising
By now you will have read ‘Ken’s Summer Holidays on the Isle of Mull’ several times. Write a short summary of the key events in the text. Imagine you are writing the summary for someone who has never read the text.
L.O: To write and perform a scene from a play based on a familiar story.
S.C:
· Read through your draft.
· Edit your draft.
· Check you have a character list, scene title, scene description, dialogue and stage direction
· Write up your play scene in neat.
· Perform your play.
Now that you have drafted your play scene, write you scene up in neat. Remember to include the following features:
· Character list
· Scene title
· Scene description
· Dialogue
· Stage directions
When you have written your play, perform it to/with your family.
L.O: To solve problems involving multiplication and division, including positive integer scaling problems.
S.C:
· Use times tables to count in 3s, 4s and 8s.
· Read each question carefully.
· Represent multiplication and division using a bar model.
Today we are solving problems involving integer scaling.
This means that we need to understand the vocabulary “times as many”. For example: Harry has 3 times as many sweets as Amir. If Amir has 4 sweets, how many does Harry have? So, we would need to calculate 3x4 = 12.
To complete Friday’s maths task, read each question carefully and use your knowledge of multiplication and division to help you find the answer.
Top Tips
V.I.P.E.R.S –It can be useful to make a note of the key events before writing your summary. You could do this by drawing pictures of the events or recording down key vocabulary. Your summary should be written in your own words and doesn’t need to copy sentences from the text.
