This week we are writing and publishing our newspaper article informing the readers about the mysterious appearance of The Nowhere Emporium.
Today we are planning our article so we are going to add notes to different mind maps so that when we come to write on Tuesday and Wednesday, we know what information we will include.
We need to plan 4 paragraphs.
1 – orientation (who, what, where, when).
This is like the introduction to the article.
2 – main body. This is where we include all the information and details about the event.
3 – quotes. You need 2 quotes that you will include in your writing. Think about who is providing them.
4 – re-orientation. This will tell the readers what is happening now or will happen in the future.
Today we are learning about the perimeter of a shape.
The perimeter is how we measure the distance of the outside of a shape. To do that we need to add all the different sides of the shape together.
Look at the shape below.
It has height of 4cm and a width of 5cm. So, it is 4cm + 4cm + 5cm + 5cm = 20cm.
It can be tempting to get a ruler out and measure when working out the perimeter but unless a picture is drawn to scale then that won’t help, as the drawings are just representations.
Task 1
Work out the perimeter of the shapes below.
History
What happens today is someone breaks the law?
In Tudor times, there was no police force.
Justices of the Peace were appointed by the King or Queen to make sure that laws were kept in their part of the country.
Why did some people commit crimes?
Life was very difficult for the poor. If you didn’t have a job or any land to keep animals on and grow food, there was no way of getting money unless you begged or stole. The law said that only disabled people could beg, so some poor people pretended to be sick or disabled – if they were caught, they’d be sentenced to death.
Punishments include:
Thieves: hand cut off and branded with a T Suspected of being a witch: Ducking stool (sink and drown = innocent, float = guilty so burned at the stake)
Executions: hanging, burned at the stake, head cut off (nobles and royals – head stuck on stake as warning to others). Also boiled alive in oil or water, pressed (crushed with stones) or starved.
Treason (against King/Queen) or Petty treason (murdered someone you owed allegiance to like a husband or master) = burned at the stake
Public humiliations: Scold’s bridle (gossiping/talking back to husband),
Drunkard’s cloak, stocks/pillary (even for not wearing a hat on a Sunday!) or whipped.
Activity
Describe a crime and draw picture.
Then describe how this would have been punished in Tudor times below. Draw a picture of the punishment. Repeat for more crimes.
Tues Today we are going to begin writing our newspaper report. We will write the orientation and main body. When we are writing we need to include the features we have been learning about:
Formal language Relative clauses Conjunctions Past tense Parenthesis
Inverted commas for direct speech Reported speech (if you can remember) When you are writing the main body of the text, you need to think about how you are going to order your sentences. It would be a good idea to go back to your plan and number the notes in the order that you will write. This means that you keep similar topics together and the paragraph will flow.
When you are writing, make sure you re-read your work and edit as you go along.
Yesterday we worked out the perimeter of some shapes. Can you remember how we did it? Today we are going to do them same but with some missing sides. Look at the rectangle below.
It has a base of 6cm and a height of 5cm but the other 2 sides are missing. I know that a rectangle has 2 sides that are equal and 2 other sides that are equal so I can work out what the other 2 sides are. I can either add them up like before or I can do a much simpler trick: I can do 5 + 6 = 11cm, then I can just double them.
Task:
Solve the perimeter of the shapes with missing sides.
Geography
What do you already know about the River Thames?
Have they been there?
What is it used for.
We are going to compare Thames in Tudor times (it was very important) to current day.
Activity
Complete a comparison between the two.
Important:
Only 1 bridge (London) – filled with shops and houses. Burnt down after Tudor times and was rebuilt.
Trade very important in Tudor times. London major port (biggest in England) and river main mode of transport. Roads/streets too busy and unsafe.
River would have been full of large ships.
What are the differences?
Not so many boats. Less trade (can’t get under bridges and better alternatives). Used more for tourism, and some commuting. Still sewage – but much less. Lots of work being done regarding environment/conservation and protecting the Thames. Less trade, more pleasure.
Wed We are continuing with our writing today. Go back and read yesterday’s work and make any edits and improvements you feel is necessary.
We will be writing our final two paragraphs today. This will be the quotes paragraph and the re-orientation.
When you write your quotes paragraph, remember to include at least one example of direct speech (it uses inverted commas). Also try to include at least one relative clause about someone who is sharing their account.
When you write your re-orientation, it is likely to be in present or future tense.
Finally, when you have finished, re-read the whole newspaper report and check for punctuation, spelling, past tense (re-
orientation will be different) and capital letters in the correct places.
Today we are learning about area. Perimeter is the outside of a shape, but area is the inside of the shape. Look at the shape below, how many squares does it have?
It has 12 which you could have worked out by counting. However, an easier way of working it out would have been to multiply the amount of
squares on side (or height) by the amount of squares along the top (or width). 4 x 3 = 12. So the area is 12 squares.
Look at this rectangle
To work out the area we do the base x height. So 6 x 5 = 30cm²
Science
What is an animal? What does it mean to be alive? What do all creatures need to survive?
Just saying something is alive and an animal is not enough. A tiger and a whale are very different creatures! So we can split them up and classify them into different things.
The biggest category we can split animals up into is whether or not they have a spine. Animals with a spine are called vertebrates and animals without a spine are called invertebrates.
There are 5 main groups who have a spine:
Birds: Have feathers and beaks. Most can fly. Lay eggs
Fish: cold blooded (which means they don’t regulate their own body
temperature), have gills, live underwater.
Reptiles: cold blooded, scaly skin. Usually live on land but can live in water. Lay eggs.
Amphibians: Cold blooded. Can live on both land and sea.
Mammals: Warm blooded (which means they can regulate their own temperature) All mammals give birth to their babies, they do not lay eggs. There are some animals that might fit into other categories but because they give birth they are actually mammals. An example is a bat or whale. Whilst a bat flies and a
Task
Work out the area of the shapes below.
whale swims underwater both give birth to their young so are mammals.
Invertebrates don’t have a spine.
Here are the main groups:
Insects: Have 6 legs and usually 2 or more body sections.
myriapods : Like an insect but has more than 2 body sections and lots of legs.
Crustaceans: Has an outer shell that they shed when they grow too big for it.
Arachnids: 8 legs. Will also shed their outer skin/shell like crustaceans.
Mollusc: soft body, usually slimy, some have a hard outer shell.
Annelid: On body section, no legs. E.G a worm.
Task:
Sort the pictures below into their right categories.
Thur Today is publishing day. Your first task is to re- read your work and make any edits or
improvements you feel are necessary.
When it comes to publishing your work, you will need to focus on your handwriting and letter size. You are able to change things when you are publishing so you can make edits and improvements as you go along.
Before you begin, you will need to choose a headline for your report. Here are a couple if you need can’t decide on one yourself.
Mystery shop arrives in town
Yesterday we worked out the area of shapes.
Today we will work out the area of compound shapes. A compound shape is when you combine 2 or more shapes together.
To do this you will have to split the 2 shapes up and then work out each shape. Once you are done you then add the 2 shapes’ area together
Task
Work out the area of the compound shapes below.
PSHE
This week we are thinking about friendships.
Watch the clip
https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips- video/pshe-ks2-friendship-struggles/zbpvcqt What is a true friend?
What do you value in a friend?
Drawn on a piece of paper all the qualities to make this the perfect friend.
Why did Jess let Megan win?
The Nowhere Emporium that must have come from somewhere
Was she being a true friend? What did the teacher mean when she said 'Do you think you'd be doing Megan a favour?'
Consider what you would do in this same situation.
Fri Today we are going to be looking at ordering a story. Read the text below and order the statements that occurred from 1-5. Underline them in the text as evidence to help with the ordering.
Today we will be recapping on the different skills we have used.
Who can remember how we divide when using numbers with more than 1 digit? Long division.
First we write out the timestables of the number we are dividing by.
Then there are 3 steps that we repeat over and over when dividing by long divison.
• Look at the first 2 digits. Find the closest number to them without going over in the times tables. How ever many multiples of your number to find it goes on the top
• Write the number that you found in the times table under the 2 digits you were looking at. Then take them away from the 2 digits.
• Next bring the next number down.
Now repeat again!

Gaby to the Rescue
A Siamese cat crouched on a tree branch, peering down at Gaby with brilliant blue eyes. It cried out. The cat was stuck in the tree in front of her house and, as luck would have it, she had on the nicest cardigan she owned. Gaby pulled the cardigan tighter around her. This was her last good school cardigan until who-knows-when her father would have enough money to buy her a new one. The poor cat cried again. Gaby looked back at her small yellow house. If her mother were here, that cat would already be out of the tree and purring – safe and sound, in her mother’s arms.
1) Number these facts from 1-5 in the order in which they happen. The first one has been done for you.
Gaby pulled the cardigan tighter around her.

If Gaby’s mother were here, that cat would already be out of the tree The cat was stuck in the tree in front of her house
Mind made up, Gaby pulled off her cardigan and tossed it onto her porch. ‘You’re out of luck, gato!’ she yelled. ‘My mom, master tree climber and cat rescuer, isn’t back yet.’ She rolled up the sleeves of her white shirt. ‘But until she is, you’ve got me.’ Gaby grasped the nearest branch and pulled herself up. ‘Gaby to the rescue.’
The cat meowed.
‘I am hurrying.’
The last time Gaby had climbed the tree was when she and her best friend, Alma, had challenged the boys to a water-balloon fight last summer. Up high was the perfect spot for a full-blown assault on the boys below. Those guys never had a chance.
Gaby secured her feet and hands and climbed higher, until the cat was within arm’s reach. ‘See? You aren’t the only one who can climb.’ But then she looked down. Mistake number one.

The last time Gaby had climbed the tree she had a water-balloon fight.
Gaby pulled herself up on the nearest branch.
Gaby pulled off her cardigan and tossed it onto her porch.
Gaby looked down.
Gaby secured her feet and hands and climbed higher.
She knew the universal rule of tree climbing said don’t ever, ever look down, but she couldn’t help it. This was the highest she’d ever climbed. If she fell, she’d definitely end up looking like an Egyptian mummy. Gaby imagined herself bandaged from head to toe and sipping dinner through a straw.
Well, she’d just have to not fall. Simple as that. ‘Here, kitty, kitty!’ she called out, the same way she had heard her mom call for stray cats hundreds of times.
But this was no stray. The cat was too shiny. Too chubby. Around its neck, a rhinestone collar with gold charms sparkled. Someone loved that cat. She reached out toward it. ‘Almost got you.’ Mistake number two.
The cat arched its back and hissed.
Gaby pulled back, startled. ‘Nice teeth.’ She resettled on the branch, considering her options.

Around the cat’s neck was a rhinestone collar with gold charms.
It was the highest Gaby had ever climbed.
When Gaby was younger, she had seen her mom climb the same tree many times to rescue a cat. All the way up, her mom had giggled and sweet-talked the cat in Spanish. ‘Que bonita eres gatita. You’re so pretty, little cat.’ Her mom told her that when dealing with cats you should speak softly and pick them up by the loose skin at the back of their neck, because that’s how their mothers carried them. Her mom had always made it look so easy. Once she had the cat nestled against her chest, she would manoeuvre down through the branches, comforting the cat with kisses on the ears and soft words with rolling Spanish r’s like purrs.
There were never any arched backs, hisses, or sharp teeth.
Gaby took a deep breath and reached out for the cat again. ‘It’s okay, little kitty,’ she said sweetly. This time the cat latched on to her, digging its claws into her arm and shoulder. ‘Ooh, ouch!’ She couldn’t quite get it by the scruff of the neck like her mom had shown her, but at least she had the animal. That was progress. Now she just had to get down.
Without falling.
