Some days will be more productive than others. We ask that you do the core subjects (reading, writing, maths) daily, and then balance the foundation subjects as suits you. You may find that doing all of the days work in one go works best (remember to take a short break, though) or splitting it into morning and afternoon suits you better. If you are unable to complete everything then do not worry. Do your best and that will be good enough. Remember the assembly on routines – try to start at the same time every day, in a quiet place if possible. Have a clear plan for the day. There will be some QR codes (barcodes) that you will be able to scan. These will take you to a website with further information or activities on. Any scanning app, eg Barcode Scanner, on a mobile device or tablet will enable you to do this. Monday Reading – ‘Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods’ – Rick Riordan Writing – Instructional Writing Maths – Converting Fractions to Percentages Thematic – Transition – My Positivity Profile nd READING - Monday 22 June – ‘Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods’ – Rick Riordan The piece of writing we will be focusing on for our reading this week is from a book called ‘Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods’ EXTRACT – Chapter 1: In the beginning, I wasn’t there. I don’t think the Ancient Greeks were, either. Nobody had a pen and paper to take notes, so I can’t vouch for what follows, but what I can tell you it’s what the Greeks thought happened. At first, there was pretty much nothing. A lot of nothing. The first god, if you can call it that, was Chaos - a gloomy, spectral mist with all the matter in the cosmos just drifting around. Here’s a fact for you: Chaos literally means the Gap, and we’re not talking about the clothing store. Eventually, Chaos got less chaotic – maybe it got bored of being all dreary and murky. Some of its matter collected and solidified into the earth, which unfortunately developed into a living person. She called herself Gaia, the Earth Mother. Now Giga was the actual earth – the rocks, the hills, the valleys, the whole shebang. But she would also take on a humanlike form. She liked to walk across the earth – which was basically walking across herself – in the shape of a regal figure, with an elegantly flowing green dress, luscious black hair and a permanent smile emblazoned onto her face. Her smile, however, concealed a nasty disposition. You’ll learn that soon enough. Session 1 - First Impression Questions: 1. From who’s perspective is the book being written from? How do you know? ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ 2. Why do you think this character is writing the book from their perspective? How do you think they may have ended up in this world? ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ WRITING - Monday 22nd June – Instructional Writing During your English lessons this week, you will be looking at a range of vocabulary to create your own piece of instructional writing. Recipe A recipe is a piece of writing that provides precise instructions, diagrams, ingredients and equipment, which the reader has to follow to make the desired dish. Task 1: - Read Recipe and Understand Vocabulary Today’s activity is to read the following recipe, understand and edit the vocabulary used within it. Have you ever wanted to stay young forever? Do you wish to cheat even death itself? This youth potion will heal and make you immortal for all time! But beware… Only drink this once, or you will suffer terrible effects… Ingredients: Equipment: A dollop of snail slime 1 large, stone cauldron A spoonful of crushed juniper leaves 1 carved wooden spoon The horn of a unicorn A boiling hot stove The fire of a dragon 2 sturdy steel bowls A cluster of crushed moths A grinding implement The minute hand of a clock A clean glass container Method: Initially, take a dollop of snail slime and pour it carefully into a heavy cauldron: remember to light the fire under your stove to an aggressively high temperature. Subsequently, crush your fragrant, green juniper leaves with the grinder and sprinkle them into the slime; you will need to continue to stir this thoroughly. Once stirred, scoop out the interior of the unicorn horn with a spoon, ensuring not a single drop wasted! Leave the mixture to brew until it has turned golden and thick in texture: meddling with the mixture at this point could prove fatal! When the mixture has reached the desired shade, delicately add the crushed moths until you hear their fragile remains crackle into the brew! Immediately after you hear the crackle: bend the minute hand of a clock and drop it hastily into the liquid. This is essential if you hope to turn back time. If you have been brave enough to obtain the fire of a dragon, cautiously add this into the simmering dram: you will need to stand well back, as it will begin to froth vigorously! Penultimately, after the frothing has subsided, transfer the potion into one of your sturdy steel bowl and heat gently until 2 sunrises have gone by. At long last, your supernatural concoction is now ready to be consumed; but be warned, you may become far younger than you may desire! Task 2 – Vocabulary Definitions: Find the definitions of these words to help you with your understanding of the poem: WORD DEFINITION Elixir immortal dram Adverbials of time: Definition: What is an adverbial of time? Adverbs that change or qualify the meaning of a sentence by telling us when things happen are defined as adverbs of time. An adverb of time is just what you might expect it to be – a word that describes when, for how long, or how often a certain action happened. Examples: Initially ...(firstly) Subsequently … (next / after) Once... Until... When... Immediately after... Penultimately (the one before last) At long last... Task 3: Using the examples above to help you, along with your own ideas about your chosen elixir, generate at least 3 adverbials of time sentences that could be used later in the week to draft your set of instructions. 1. __________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ 2. __________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ 3. __________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Share these on ClassDojo once you have finished so that we can share them with the class and you can magpie ideas from other people.
