5th Class Work
25th-29th May 2020
Hi 5th class,
I hope you’re all still doing well. Below is the work for this week.
All worksheets and power points are on this new Padlet link: https://padlet.com/emmakaneteacher/hwslvjo5ydc2hvue
I have made a second Padlet link to allow you to continue to access any work I set last week, this week.
You do not have to print anything off. Any sums or questions can be written into your copies.
Don’t forget to tune into the Home School Hub every day from (11am-12pm).
As usual, you do not have to complete all activities on this sheet. Just try and get whatever you can done! My school e-mail is funfitnessqoa@gmail.com. Your parents/guardians can contact me using that e-mail address with any questions at all.

2. Practice taking notes by asking someone to read one of the passages in the ‘Taking Notes’ document on the Padlet link.
3. Research information for your debate (for or against). There is a power point with information called ‘Deforestation’ on the Padlet link. Practice your not-taking skills throughout your research.
4. Structure your persuasive writing piece by writing an introduction, 3 separate paragraphs for 3 different points (remember-don’t repeat the same point!) and a conclusion.
5. To help you structure your three points, see the ‘Point, Evidence, Explanation’ document on Padlet.
6. Study ‘The Rules of Debating Poster’ on Padlet to help you structure your writing.
7. There is also a ‘Deforestation Debate’ power point on Padlet to help you with your points.

- Please complete one page of handwriting in your workbook each day.
- If you are one of the children in the class who does not write in cursive (I have told you if you don’t) then I would like you to practice your handwriting by writing out the first two paragraphs on page 57 ‘Who Discovered America?’ (words: ‘Most’-‘after Columbus’).
- Reading: I have uploaded 2 documents: ‘Reading Comprehension Skills Challenge Cards’ and ‘Reading Comprehension Skills Challenge Cards with Sentence Starters.’ I would like you to complete the first 3 challenge cards (purpose, cause and effect, compare and contrast). Each of these challenge cards are asking you questions based on different types of answers. If you struggle with forming full sentences when answering reading comprehensions, you can use the ‘Reading Comprehension Skills Challenge Cards with Sentence Starters.’ This will give you a start to your answers. The answers are below each set of questions so you can check if you are correct. Don’t forget to use CUPS to self-correct all your written work.
