Invent an extreme sport. Write a

detailed set of instructions showing

how to play. Try to include all the key

features of successful instructions.

How can you show that you’ve thought

about your audience?

This half term, we will be exploring

stories from other cultures. Find a

different version of a well-known

story (there are lots of versions of

‘Cinderella’ from around the world!)

and record what is the same and

what is different :)

Stories from Other Cultures: Look at

some of the Anansi stories available in

our school library or online. Can you

write a re-telling of a popular Anansi

story? Think about your word choices,

sentence openers and punctuation!

Choose something you know how to do

really well. Write a set of instructions

showing the reader clearly how to do

it!

Pick a favourite poem. Can you

highlight the different poetic devices

used? Think about the following:

Simile, metaphor, onomatopoeia,

alliteration, portmanteau, rhyme,

repetition

Portmanteau is an example of a device

used by poets. Can you find out what it

means? Can you give examples of

portmanteau?

Create a poster showing how to write a

successful set of instructions

Use any key terms you have learnt,

make it informative and eye catching!

Identify key terms we have learnt in

maths and write a mini dictionary!

Find out the definitions of the key words

and write a glossary to help you learn

spellings and keywords.

Write three tweets to summarise the

learning you have done in English or

maths so far.

Tweets must be no more than 140

characters and they must be informative.

Use # for keywords.

Working systematically

Take a ‘Reach 100’ challenge task sheet.

Questions to think about: Where could you

start? What can you say about the number

in the top left cell? What’s the highest

number you can make? The lowest?

Four-digit targets:

Take a ‘four-digit target’ challenge task sheet

from your classroom. Questions to think

about: Where is the best place to put a 9 when

aiming for the highest number? What about if

you’re aiming for the lowest number?
