Overview of English tasks and activities for Week 10 (29/6/2020)

Remember you can take photos of your work or draw or write in your

portfolio using your dojo child login.

Every day: Keep reading to a grown up. Use the books on EPIC and books you

have at home.

Over the week:

This is our first week of our next writing unit called ‘Mission Possible’! This unit

is a bit longer than the last two so will take three weeks to complete and will

end with you writing your own adventure story! We hope you enjoy it

Day 1: Read and discuss the story. Chat about the story with an adult and

record your answers. Write a short synopsis of the story.

Look at your weekly spellings and using Letterjoin, practise writing them using

cursive handwriting.

Day 2: Look at the ‘Wonderful Words’ section and match the definitions to the

word. Then, complete the character profiles.

Day 3: Create a character name and a character profile for your own

characters.

Day 4: Design and label a spy gadget. If you have time, you could design a

poster to advertise your gadget.

Day 5: Spelling activities, spelling test and (optional) Grammar test.

Spellings – complete the spelling activity and ask a grown up or older sibling to

test you on the class spellings on Friday.

Handwriting- log on to letterjoin and rehearse letters and words that you know

you find difficult (lots of you need to work on f and g and y) There are lots of

games on here. Have a play. Upload to your portfolio so we can give you help and

feedback.

This week we are going to focus on the suffixes ‘ssion’ and ‘sion’ in the

activities but please don’t forget our spellings for home.

Last week we looked at the rules for adding these suffixes to the ends of root

words. They all make a similar sounding end to words so it’s important to learn

the rules. Can you add the correct suffix ending to these root words?

Root word Root word + suffix

invent invention

magic

express

expand

hesitate

maths

permit

Exceptions to the Rule…..

Two words which don’t follow

the rules are attend and

intend. They become

attention and intention.

We just have to learn them!

If you don’t have a dice at home you can search for ‘dice roller’ on

Google or you could make your own using the net ta the end of the

pack. Remember when you put your ‘dots’ on that opposite sides of the dice add
