Week Commencing 1st June 2020Hi Year 5,
I hope you are all OK and still looking after yourselves and those you live with.
This week I’ve been getting frustrated with all the negative news in the world, so I went on a hunt for some more positive stories. Here are a few I found…
• Llamas are being used to deliver shopping in Pembrokeshire!• An aquarium in Tokyo is asking for people to video chat their eels so they ‘don’t forget
humans!• And finally, a vicious beast has been spotted prowling around houses in Woking- look out
for the terrifying monster!
We love hearing from you! If you want to show off some of your work, get feedback, tell us about something you’ve done or just want to say hi, email your teachers at [email protected] Remember to put your class as the subject so your teacher doesn’t miss it!

Today we are going to be looking at some complicated homophones.
Homophones are words that sound the same when spoken, however they are spelt differently and have different meanings. Some of the words today are called ‘near homophones’, this means they sound nearly the same and so people often make mistakes with them.
We are all aware of some homophones such as these…
However there are many more! We’re going to be looking at 10 more advanced homophones today and learn the difference between them.

Task 1Using a dictionary to help you, find the definition of each of these words. Be careful when looking them up- you need to make sure you get the right version of each word! Write the definitions in your Home Learning book.

An expanded noun phrase is a phrase (a group of words but not enough to be a sentence) made up of a noun and at least one adjective. These are simple to understand, but tricky to master!
Follow the link below to find today’s lesson on expanded noun phrases.
The lesson is split into a number of sections, you need to work through these sections in order.

I’m joining in with Well-being Friday each week! This week I decided to write a poem based on the piece of art.
I may not have an indestructible shield,And I definitely can’t sling a web.But I help people get better,From Aberdeen to Zagreb.
Maybe I’m not immune to mind controlAnd I don’t have super speed.But I am here every day,Bringing you what you need.
I have no claws of adamantiumOr cloak of levitation.But here I am to healWith intelligence and determination.
I’m not a super hero,I have no magic powers.I’m a super-nurse,Healing hour after hour.
AnswersThe answers for some of the tasks are on the next few slides.
As a lot of our English work is creative, it is not possible to give answers for every task as everyone will have come up with different ideas for their writing/sentences.
If you are unsure on any of the answers, or want to check your answers to creative work, please email the Year 5 team.
