English L.O: To write an instructional text.

Activity 1: Listen to Chapter 16 of 'The Stolen Sister' on the Learning --> Stories page of the website

Activity 2: Today you are going to write an instructional text on how to make a Victoria sponge cake. An instructional text is a text that explains to someone how to do something, such as bake a cake, play a game or work a DVD player for example.

The first thing I would like you to do is open the file below titled 'Instructional Text Example'. Have a really good look at this instructional text example to remind yourself of what a set of instructions look like and what you MUST include in your own. The features are colour coded in and around the text.

Activity 3: The first step of writing a set of instructions is to answer the following 4 questions:

1. What am I making?
2. What do I need?
3. What do I need to do?
4. Would some diagrams or illustrations help me visualise the process?

Open the file below titled 'Instructions Planning' and spend 10-15 minutes conducting your own research into answering these 4 questions.

Activity 4: When your planning is complete and you are confident of what an instructional text looks like and what features it should include, start writing out your text in your home learning books. Make sure you are including all the features appropriate to an upper key stage 2 Instructional Text as seen below:

The features from the checklist below that must feature:

• Imperative/ bossy verbs such as 'cut' 'mix' 'place' and 'pour' for example.
• Time adverbials such as 'first', 'next', 'then', and 'finally'.
• Adverbs to use alongside the imperative verbs to provide detail such as 'finely chop',  'carefully pour' and 'thoroughly mix'.

Does it Work?

If you have the ingredients and equipment to do so, have a go at following your own instructions at home to make your very own Victoria sponge cake. Consider the following questions if you do:

• Are your instructions clear?
• Is the result what you hoped for?
• Is there anything you missed and should now add to your instructions?

Helpful Hints!

• When converting from a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator OR try to put the fraction over 100 and then divide the numerator by 100.
• When converting from a fraction to a percentage, find it as a decimal first and then multiply this decimal number by 100 and put it over 100 (you could then simplify!)
• When converting from a decimal to a percentage, multiply the decimal number by 100.
• When converting from decimal to a fraction, multiply the decimal number by 100 and put it over 100  (you could then simplify!)
• When converting from a percentage to a decimal, simply divide the percentage by 100.
• When converting from a percentage to a fraction, put the percentage over 100 and simplify if you can.

Activity 3: For a challenge, open up the file below titled 'Y6 Platinum Challenge' and complete either the Bronze, Silver OR Gold page. There is a page of questions for each level.

P.S.H.E. L.O: To determine how 'The Universal Declaration of Human Rights'  links to the idea of justice and freedom.

Activity 1: Have a go at answering the following two questions in your home learning books:

1. What are human rights?
2. Which human rights do we have? List as many as you can think of.

In 1948, The United Nations (48 different countries) came together and created what we now know as 'The Universal Declaration of Human Rights' This document is a historic document which outlined the rights and freedoms of every human being.It was the first international agreement on the basic principles of human rights. It laid the foundation for the human rights protections that we have in the UK today.

Activity 2: Watch this video carefully. It outlines the many rights all human beings have. Listen carefully to see if any of the rights you wrote down for question 2 are mentioned in this short clip.

Activity 3: What is the difference between justice and freedom? Have a go at answering this question for yourself or discussing it with a family member or peer before reading the information below.

Activity 4: Attached below are TWO files. One is titled 'Human Rights Articles 1-30'. This document shows you all 30 human rights all human beings are entitled to under the 'The Universal Declaration of Human Rights'. The other file is called 'Human Rights Sort'.

Open up both of these files. Read through each article carefully (they are only a sentence or two for each maximum) and decide whether you think each right is related to the idea of 'justice', 'freedom', both or neither. DO NOT WRITE THE WHOLE ARTICLE OUT, JUST WRITE THE ARTICLE NUMBER IN EACH BOX. The answers are on page 2 to mark once you are done.

P.E.

At a time where we all find ourselves indoors for the most of the day, we should bear in mind how important daily exercise is for our health and wellbeing, particularly our mental health. If you are able to, take your device somewhere with plenty of space (even the garden on a nice sunny day) or clear some space in front of your computer and follow along with Joe Wicks for a 30 minute workout. I will definitely be doing the same!
