DAY 1: HISTORY THE SUFFRAGETTES! Like children in The Victorian times, women did not have the same rights as they do today. They weren’t
even allowed to vote! Ready to travel back to a monumental moment in British history? Then check out
the suffragettes and write an information text about the time when women fought for the right to
vote; the women of the past that gave women of today a voice and a say about who runs our country!
Information to include:
• What the word suffrage means
• When it happened
• Who did and didn’t have the right to vote at
the time.
• Who founded the suffragette movement
• The ways in which they protested.
• How and when they were successful (for
some women and then for all women).
https://www.natgeokids.com/uk/discover/history/general-history/suffragettes-facts/ a good place to start, but
you might want to look further afield! I have included a model on the next slide. Again, this can be written by
hand in your book, or be completed on computer if you have access.
DAY 1: HISTORY THE SUFFRAGETTES
Emmaline Pankhurst
Earlier life:
Emmeline Goulden was born on 14 July 1858 in Manchester into a
family with a tradition of radical politics. In 1879, she married
Richard Pankhurst, a lawyer and supporter of the women's suffrage
movement.
Her role in the suffragette movement:
In 1889, Emmeline founded the Women's Franchise League, which
fought to allow married women to vote in local elections. In
October 1903, she helped found the more militant Women's Social
and Political Union (WSPU) - an organisation that gained much
notoriety for its activities and whose members were the first to be
christened 'suffragettes'.

DAY 2: ENGLISH – PL ANNING A PORTAL STORY
Today, we are going to start planning ideas
for our own portal story. You can use the
characters you developed last week for this.
Use the extract and your previous learning
on portals to inspire you (as well as your
door poems too, doors are portals!) Look at
the table (right), this shows you the pattern
a portal story follows.
Here are some top tips
for story writing to get
you started, then, have a
look at the model
below for ideas on how
to structure your ideas
into a plan!
DAY 2: ENGLISH – PL ANNING A PORTAL STORY
Using this underlying pattern, plan a
few portal stories of your own. You
may like to draw upon your own
personal experience as well as your
wider reading and imagination. I have
also included two pictures in case
they help you.
DAY 2: GEOGRAPHY – DESIGN A VICTORIAN GARDENFurther to your work on Victorian Gardens last week, this week you get to be creative! I would like
you to complete a draft sketch plan of a Victorian Garden (you will do the final draft of this next week).
At the moment I want you to just focus on the layout, shape of planters, decorative features etc. Don’t
worry about scale at this point, but you might want to start labelling features. I have included some
ideas below and a list of features you should include. You can complete this task drawn on paper or on
computer if you prefer and have access.
Include:
• A range of plants and flowers (use your
science learning if you wish!)
• A area for entertaining
• Pathways
• Some form of symmetry to the layout (if you
put a mirror through the middle the layout
would the same on either side)
• Decorative features (statues, fountains etc)
DAY 3: ENGLISH – CHARACTER DESCRIPTION
Time to write your portal story! I have given you a success criteria to help you with the grammar side of
things; other than that…have fun with it and let your imagination take you somewhere magical! You may like
to write a more traditional portal story that takes you to a magical world; or you may prefer to draw upon
your own experiences, as we did with our poetry, it really is up to you.
More top tips!
- Describe the portal in detail, try to imagine it
through the eyes of the main character.
- Think about what is on the other side of the
portal – allow yourself the opportunity to write
about what interests you and is important to you
- Reflect upon portal stories you may have read in
the past (Narnia, Leon and the space between,
Alice in Wonderland), don’t be afraid to take ideas
from these to help you.
- Enjoy it! Writing is about sharing your passion fro
words, if you love the story you’re writing, your
reader will too!
Use capital letters and full stops in the correct places (no
excuses on this one!)
Use ambitious vocabulary (adjectives, verbs and adverbs)
Use the correct story structure (refer to your plan)
Use a range of fronted adverbials
Use differing subordinating conjunctions to create
subordinate clauses
Use relative clauses
Use ( ) ,, and – to indicate parenthesis
Use different examples of figurative language (metaphor,
simile, personification etc)
DAY 3: ENGLISH – MODEL
Mary blinked. She must be seeing things. Underneath the unwelcoming thorn
bushes (that had left their aggressive mark on Mary’s legs on more than one
occasion) was an incredibly small but incredibly real wooden door. Far too
small to fit anything bigger than a cat through, nevertheless there it was, as bold
as brass. While the menacing thorns grabbed at her arms, Mary squeezed
herself forward to get a better look at this enchanted discovery. Apart from its
size it looked unremarkable; it was made of rich, dark wood (cut into the shape
of an arch) and possessed a tantalizingly tempting brass door knob. So
bewitching it was; she could barely contain the urge to reach forward and turn
it…
DAY 3: MATHSComplete the arithmetic questions; there is a mixture of them just like last week covering a range of
mathematical concepts. Again, I will be posting some video help for these as we haven’t been over some of the
strategies for a while!
DAY 4: ENGLISH – STORYWRITINGContinue with your portal story! When complete, please proof
read it carefully and improve spellings where necessary. Share
your story on your dojo portfolio! You may get to be in this
week’s ‘Hall of fame’ on class story and earn yourselves extra
dojos!
Why not do a dramatic reading of
your story and share on your
portfolio!
DAY 3: MUSIC To mark the 75th anniversary of VE day on the 8th May (that you completed your PSHE work on),
I would like you to listen to a selection of wartime songs. Listen to the words carefully and jot
down your thoughts on the following questions:
1. What are the songs about?
2. How do they make you feel?
3. Why do you think such songs were written
during the war? What was their purpose?
4. How did they improve the lives of the
people living/fighting in the war?

DAY 4: SPANISH – L UG A RE S E N L A C I UD A D ( PL A C E S I N T H E T O W N )
Send a picture of your work to your portfolio, you can include a voice recording of
your sentences to practice your Spanish pronunciation! Extra dojos if you do!
Over the coming weeks, we will be learning about places we find in towns. To start with, I’d like you to
practice the following vocabulary associated with things in the town. On the next slide you can test yourself
by writing the word in Spanish next to the image number. No cheating!
un cine (a cinema)
parques (parks)
museos (museums)
un castillo (a castle)
restaurante (restaurants)
un polideportivo (a sports centre)
un estadio (a stadium)
un mercado (a market)
un centro comercial (a shopping centre)
una universidad (a university)
tiendas (shops)
una piscina (a swimming pool)
DAY 4: SPANISH – L UG A RE S E N L A C I UD A D ( PL A C E S I N T H E T O W N )
Test yourself! Write
down the picture number
and write down the
Spanish word for that
picture (then the English
translations in brackets).
E.g.
1. Un Castillo
(this is not correct by the
way!)
DAY 5: MATHS – CHALLENGE FRIDAY!Over to you!
My throat is a bit sore from all of these maths videos I’m creating, so your challenge this week is to record me
a mini maths lesson (just look at the models I upload onto class story to give you an idea what they look
like). Please note, this doesn’t have to be long! Just a quick worked explanation of a mathematical concept of
your choosing so please don’t start panicking!
This can be on any maths area you like but I strongly urge you to push yourself, be brave. It could be an
arithmetic concept, area/perimeter (while it is fresh in your memory), written methods, fractions….the choice is
yours. You do not have to show yourself in the video (just like on the model videos I put on class story), but if
you feel confident in doing so…go for it! The most important thing is to explain each step of the maths that
you are showing me! Have fun!
