Today you are going to identify good features of a newspaper report.

Make a list of the differ-ent ways you and your family find out about news. Have a look at some articles on BBC News-round. Think about the layout, content, style of writing and what types of information they in-clude. Make a mind-map of what you would need to include in a newspa-per report to be suc-cessful. Think of what year 5 writing tech-niques you have learned for formal writ-ing.

Today you are going to plan out your newspaper report.

Review the list of known events you made yesterday. Pick 3 details you included and expand on them with extra information.

Now we need to prepare our quotes. Select 2 people in the house to interview (you can invent characters).Come up with 2 questions to ask them and write down what they would say. One question you could ask is “did you see anyone sneaking around last night?”Now we need a snappy headline.

Today you are going to write the introduction to your newspaper report.

The introduction of a newspaper report must share with the reader what the key events are and hook them. You will need to answer the 5 Ws: What happened? Who was involved?Where did it happen? When did it happen? Why is this important?

Read my introduction and check if I have answered all the questions.

Today, you are going to write the 1 st and 2 nd interviews of your story: half a page.

A newspaper report needs to have eye-witnesses to help the reader understand what happened. We will also want to know a little more about the witnesses so we can decide whether we agree with their statement.

Read my model and find example of good year 5 techniques: ModellingFirst, we interviewed the baker of the cookies, Mum, and asked her why she thought they were taken: “well, I can completely un-derstand I made them with extra sugar and chocolate chips; they were my best cookies ever”. She did have one theory though, as she recalled hearing “the dog running around downstairs when we were all asleep”.

R.E. Transformation Lesson: 5

Saul (Paul) is transformed by the Holy Spirit

About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me.  I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?’

‘Who are you, Lord?’ I asked.

‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,’ he replied.  My companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of him who was speaking to me.

‘What shall I do, Lord?’ I asked.

‘Get up,’ the Lord said, ‘and go into Damascus. There you will be told all that you have been assigned to do.’ My companions led me by the hand into Damascus be-cause the brilliance of the light had blinded me.

A man named Ananias came to see me. He was a devout observer of the law and highly respected by all the Jews living there. He stood beside me and said, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ And at that very moment I was able to see him.

Then he said: ‘The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and to hear words from his mouth.  You will be his witness to all people of what you have seen and heard. And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name.’

Acts 22:6-16

ScienceLiving things and their habitats: lesson 3

Watch this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5Pf4_LXyC4 How did the pollen get onto her nose? Why was her nose not the same colour as the petals? Why does pollen rub off easily? Why do insects get covered in pollen? Why did the plant make pollen?

Plants that make flowers produce pollen that spreads to other plants by animals and insects like bees, birds and even mice. Insects are responsible for most of the pollen spreading though. By pollinat-ing a plant, there are 2 main benefits:

1. The plant can produce fruit (that other animals like to eat). Fruits can only appear after pollination. 2. The plan can produce seeds (found in the fruit) to create a new plant.

A lot of insects have been dying off because people use chemicals in their garden, destroy their homes and stop planting flowers. You are going to create an information poster. The title will be:

Year 5 Timetable Week Beginning Monday 11th MayHistoryThe Ancient Greeks: Lesson 2

Watch the video on BBC bitesize about how the Greeks have influenced our modern lives:https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z87tn39/articles/z8q8wmnCan you find other sources to help you compile the following list?

List 7 ways that Ancient Greek inventions and discoveries still influence our daily lives.

As part of our Ancient Greek topic, we will share a famous Greek myth each week. This week, the story of the Goddess Athena and Arachne the weaver: There was a young girl in Greece whose name was Arachne.  Her face was pale but fair, and her hair was long and dark.  All that she cared to do from morn till noon was to sit in the sun and spin; and all that she cared to do from noon till night was to sit in the shade and weave. And oh, how fine and fair were the things which she wove on her loom!  Flax, wool, silk—she worked with them all; and when they came from her hands, the cloth which she had made of them was so thin and soft and bright that people came from all parts of the world to see it.  And they said that cloth so rare could not be made of flax, or wool, or silk, but that the warp was of rays of sunlight and the woof was of threads of gold.

Then as, day by day, the girl sat in the sun and spun, or sat in the shade and wove, she said:  "In all the world there is no yarn so fine as mine, and in all the world there is no cloth so soft and smooth, nor silk so bright and rare. Even the gods look upon my work with envy"

One afternoon as she sat in the shade weaving and talking with passers-by, someone asked of her, "Who taught you to spin and weave so well?"

"No one taught me," Arachne replied.  "I learned how to do it as I sat in the sun and the shade; but no one showed me."

"But it may be that Athena, goddess of wisdom, taught you, and you did not know it."

"Athena?  Bah!"  Said Arachne.  "How could she teach me?  Can she spin such skeins of yarn as these?  Can she weave goods like mine?  I should like to see her try.  I can likely teach her a thing or two."

She looked up and saw in the doorway a tall woman wrapped in a long cloak.  Her face was fair to see, but stern, oh, so stern!  And her grey eyes were so sharp and bright that Arachne could not meet her gaze.

"Arachne," said the woman, "I am Athena, the goddess of craft and wisdom, and I have heard your boast.  Are you certain you still mean to say that you can spin and weave as well as I?"

Arachne's cheeks grew pale, but ever boastful she said:  "Yes. I can weave as well as you."

"Then let me tell you what we will do," said Athena.  "We will both weave; you on your loom, and I on mine.  We will ask all who wish to come and see us to judge our work, to see who truly the greatest weaver is.  And if your work is best, then I will weave no more so long as the world shall last; but if my work is best, then you shall forever tell the people that you are only the second greatest weaver in the lands, and never boast of your talents again."

Arachne agreed, when the time came for the contest in weaving, hundreds were there to see it. Working side-by-side, both weaved like experts. Athena took of the sunbeams that

Year 5 Timetable Week Beginning Monday 11th Maygilded the mountain top, she sew using currents from the rivers, she wove pictures of flowers and gardens, and of castles and towers, and of mountain heights, and of men and beasts, and of giants and dwarfs, and of the mighty beings who dwell in the clouds with Zeus. Once she was done, she turned to look at the art Arachne had spun.

Arachne was a skilled weaver, and may have even won, but Athena was too filled with rage to consider defeat. Arachne had woven a picture of the gods, but not one thread showed any positive picture. It showed the gods as fat, lazy, stupid and selfish. Zeus sat atop a broken throne, Athena was covered in warts, Hades was tripping over a skull, Hera had fallen in a puddle and Ares was sucking his thumb. That was just the top corner. While the crowd gasped in horror at the insults, Athena couldn’t bring herself to finish looking before she turned in rage to Arachne.

If the gods ever laid eyes on such an image, they would wage war on the mortals. Athena could not let this go unpunished, so she grabbed Arachne by the arms. She split each arm and leg into 2 long, thin limbs. She split her eyes in 2, then 2 again, covering her face in eyes. She wrapped Arachne’s bottom in the tapestry she had woven then tied an un-breakable knot as punishment, so Arachne would have to carry it behind her forever. She took Arachne’s beautiful long hair and made it cover her whole body. Then, to teach her that she was not as important as the gods, she shrunk Arachne down to the size of an insect.

When Arachne looked in the mirror, she was horrified. She had 8 arms and legs, 8 small, beady eyes, her body was covered in fur and her bottom was 5 times bigger! She was so ashamed, she hid in the shadows. She could still weave, and to this day loves to play with her silk, but she will never brag again. And that is where Arachnids (spiders) come from.
