Wednesday Week 10 Writing

1. Listen to a story

Look carefully at Sinbad Illustration. What do you notice? What could be happening here? Who might the

man be? What might be in the pot?

Listen to the second part of Sinbad’s Fifth Voyage

Start the story at 6:00 and stop it at 11:14

What did you find out about the Sinbad Illustration?

2. Retell the story

Use Sinbad and the Old Man to retell the story in four parts.

Decide the four most important scenes and use words and pictures to show them.

Extra

• Use your four-scene story to help you practise telling the story of Sinbad and the Old Man. Watch how Wilf tells

the story. Can you tell it as expressively?

Wednesday Week 10 Reading

Wednesday Week 10 Wider Curriculum – Computing/Computational Thinking

Algorithms and Debugging

In this activity, you will create instructions that can be followed for making a pizza, and debugging

(fixing) the order of those instructions if you find any errors.

You may need adult supervision for this activity.

Getting Started:

1) You need to look at a pizza recipe for making pizzas where the order of the steps are mixed up. An

example is provided for you to copy or download and cut up. You could put instructions (algorithm)

out on the table or stick on a board.

2) Make a list with the ingredients that you want to put on your pizza and think about what

equipment you will need. Eg bowl, spoon, scales.

3) Set up the kitchen with the ingredients and utensils ready to make the pizzas. Do you have your

instructions (algorithm) in the right order? If not, sort and rearrange your cut up instructions

(algorithm) into the right order or sequence.

4) Think: How did you debug (fix) the algorithm? Which steps were incorrect? Why?

6) Think: What problems did you have and how did you overcome these? How did you fix them?

7) Think: What tips would you give to someone else wanting to make their own pizza?

Over to you:

1) Pizza making – follow the recipe algorithm and

make your pizzas

2) Pizza party! – When the pizzas are cooking you can

all get ready for a pizza party!

3) Once the pizzas are ready, enjoy them and your

pizza party!

A recipe can be thought of as an algorithm that a person can carry out and you have just

debugged it so that it is in the right order.
