READING You will learn to.. • Use inference and evidence from the text to support your answer. Help for my Grown Up • Inference Inference is taught through the ‘Point, Evidence, Explain’ (PEE) model. Children must fully explain their opinions and ideas in their answers using evidence from the text. They should read between the lines (this means to use the information in the text that we are told - to work out things we are not told directly), compare different points of view and give their own opinions. Point: This is briefly what they think. Evidence: what information in the text lead them to think that. Explain: link what they think to the evidence they have given. However, sometimes questions do not require a point as that is given in the question. How much space is given to answer can help guide you in how fully the model needs to be used. Some questions will only require the evidence. Please see Additional PPE Guidance sheet for further explanation if you are unsure. TASK: Can they use inference skills and evidence from the text to answer these questions? Reading Activity - Complete all questions independently. Can you think of your own inference question to write for a friend? - Complete questions: 1-5 - With help from an adult, complete questions: 1-3 Reading Activity Reading Activity Reading Activity Reading Answers ENGLISH You will learn to.. Draft and edit the rest of your character description. Today you will finish drafting your character description. You will then edit what have you done today. Help for my Grown Up Today they will draft the rest of their character description. You may wish to do a shared write with yourself and the child or as an alternative, the example from the WAGOLL is on the slides, which specifically focuses on the particular paragraph(s) they will be writing today. Read through this with the child so they are clear / have a prompt on what to write. Explain to the child that they must spend 2 minutes reading over their plan and refer to it whilst writing their draft so that they keep on track with what they have planned to write about. Lastly, remind the child that this is a draft so we are not expecting it to be perfect and they will be spending time editing it at the end of today’s lesson. ● If your child is completing the 3 star activities they are to draft paragraph 2 and 3 today. ● If your child is completing the 2 star activities they are to draft paragraph 2 today. ● If they are completing the 1 star activities they to draft paragraph 1 today. Example of paragraphs for today: Miss Magic’s fashion sense really reflects her personality. Just like her clothes, she is a bright and colourful person. Her presence brings a smile to anyone around her. You could say it’s infectious! She has a kind, gentle soul in that she will do anything for the children in her class. In fact, her only downfall is that she may sometimes forgets to spend time looking after herself because she spends most of her time caring for others. Although Mrs Magic has a bubbly disposition and a calm approach to teaching, you would not want to Paragraph 2 get on the wrong side of her. If you dare to speak without putting your hand up in class, she will give you a stare that travels straight through your soul. Mrs Magic, who places a high importance on being polite and well-mannered at all times, has high expectations for her class. Therefore, she does not tolerate silly behaviour. Her favourite phrase to use is ‘treat others the way you wish to be treated’. Mrs Magic does not believe in shouting at children; however, she believes being firm but fair is an important approach to take. She is as wise an an owl. In regards to Mrs Magic’s tone of voice, she has an Irish accent and is mostly softly spoken. However, she often adapts her voice intonation depending on the subject she is teaching. When she is disappointed, she goes very stern. Alternatively, when she is delighted, Mrs Magic speaks with a bouncy, high pitched tone. No matter where she is in the classroom Paragraph 3 you are always able to hear her clearly. When Mrs Magic wonders round the tables, as she enthusiastically teaches the class, she will often throw her arms in the air to emphasise important information that we are required to remember. She likes to prance around the classroom making sure everyone is alert and listening. Gushes of lavender and hair spray fly into your nose, giving an overpowering freshness to the classroom. She likes to wear lavender because she claims it is calming for the mind and hopes that it decreases the amount of stressful energy that can sometimes occur in classrooms.

  • Sir David Attenborough
    Sir David Attenborough David Attenborough is a wildlife film-maker and naturalist (a scientist who studies animals and their behaviour). He has been making television programmes for over 60 years and is considered by many to be a national treasure. Early Life David Frederick Attenborough was born in London on 8th May 1926. Growing up, he lived with his parents (Mary and Frederick) and his two brothers (Richard and John) on the campus of University College, Leicester, as his father was a principal there. In 1939, the Attenborough family fostered two German-Jewish girls called Irene and Helga, who became like sisters to David. As a child, David loved science and nature: he collected fossils, rocks, and other specimens, such as bird eggs. After finishing school, he went to Cambridge University to study natural sciences. Once he graduated, he was called to do two years’ service in the Royal Navy. He spent those two years in North Wales. Television In 1952, David joined the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) full time as a producer. In 1954, he began working on a series called ‘Zoo Quest’. This was filmed in many interesting places and showed animals in their natural environment. Something that hadn’t been done much before. The show was incredibly popular. David left the BBC in 1972 so he could write and produce his own shows. In 1979 he started a series called ‘Life on Earth’ which became popular. He continued to add to his ‘Life Collection’ for over 30 years, with each series focusing on a different plant or animal group.

    Sir David Attenborough – Reading Comprehension Text David Attenborough is a wildlife film- maker who is best known for introducing generations to the world’s furry and feathered friends. He has been making television programmes for over 60 years and is considered by many to be a national treasure. Early Life David Frederick Attenborough was born in London on the 8th of May 1926. Growing up, he lived with his parents (Mary and Frederick) and his two brothers (Richard and John) at the University College of Leicester as his father was a headteacher there. In 1939, the Attenborough family fostered two girls called Irene and Helga, who David bonded with very quickly. As a child, David loved science and nature. He collected fossils, rocks and other specimens, such as bird eggs. After he had finished school, he went to Cambridge University to study natural sciences. Once he graduated in 1947, he spent two years serving in the Royal Navy. Television In 1952, David joined the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) as a producer. In 1954, he began working on a show called ‘Zoo Quest’. This was filmed around the globe and showed animals in their natural environment. The show was a huge success as no one had recorded anything like this before. He created a new style of wildlife programme – one which focused heavily on the animals, rather than the presenter. He would spend little time on screen and would instead narrate over the recordings. David left the BBC in 1972 as he wanted to pursue his dream of writing and producing his own shows.

He has a distinctive and widely recognisable voice which people have come to both copy and love. His Younger Years and Family Life David Frederick Attenborough was born 8th May 1926 in London. He and his two brothers were raised on the campus of University College in Leicester where their father was a university principal and writer. Attenborough became interested in the natural world and animals from a young age. By the age of seven, he had an impressive collection of bird eggs and fossils. Once he had finished school, David studied natural sciences at the University of Cambridge. However, once he graduated, David was called to serve for two years in the Royal Navy. He spent two years on a ship in North Wales and did not get to see the world as he had hoped. In 1950, Attenborough married Jane Oriel and they had two children together. Sadly, Jane died in 1997. His Career After the war ended, Attenborough returned to London and by 1952, he was working as a producer for the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation). This was the beginning of an amazing career in television. Things were not easy at the BBC to begin with. There were few programmes about the natural sciences and those that were did not film animals in their natural environment. This troubled Attenborough and so in 1954, he began a series called ‘Zoo Quest’.
