1. Please learn the following words for a spelling test on 20.5.21.  This week we are learning some more words from the Year 5 and 6 Spelling List:

profession    programme   pronunciation   queue   recognise   recommend       

2. Put each word into a sentence that explains the meaning   If you are unsure, look the word up in a dictionary. Please put a comparative conjunction (e.g. as well as, also, equally, similarly, likewise) or contrasting conjunction (e.g. alternatively, although, whereas, while, in contrast, however, despite) into your sentence. Can you write a relative clause using who, which, where, when, whose and that? Can you use a  fronted adverbial at the beginning of your sentence? For example, Afterwards, Immediately, As soon as I could, Anxiously, Curiously, Just then, Eventually. Can you include some speech marks in your sentences? What different words can you use for ‘said’? For example, ‘replied’, ‘whispered’, ‘shouted’, ‘cried’, answered’, bellowed’, ‘screamed’. Can you create an expanded noun phrase or use a modal verb in your sentence? Can you use brackets, dashed and commas to show parenthesis in your sentences? Remember to use a range of punctuation.  You do not need to do all of these things!  Try using at least three!  Please look carefully at the VCOP sheet that has been stuck into the back of your Homework book. 
3. English Task: I would like you this week to create a fact file about icebergs. How are they formed?  Where in the world will you find them?  How big can they become?  Are there different types of icebergs?  How old can they be?  Was the iceberg that led to the sinking of the Titanic found after the tragedy?  Look up icebergs online and draw a picture of an iceberg showing what it looks like above and below the sea.
