Learning activities are listed by day, with each day consisting of an English, Maths and Topic / Science activity. Activities are designed to consolidate learning that has already taken place,
while also allowing children to start to think about learning that will be taking place during the summer term. There are three activities set each day. Activities should be completed in the

Reading and Responding

Sophie has been rescued from the ocean by Charles
and started her rather unusual childhood with him.
He is loving and caring but rather eccentric,
preferring Sophie to read books and express herself
by writing on the walls of the house rather than
looking neat and ladylike. Miss Elliot from the
National Childcare Agency disapproves, and in
Chapter 3, Sophie is now nine years old and they
have another visit from her…

Answer these questions using full sentences. No

need to copy out the questions as the answers will
make sense themselves if you write them fully. Some
of you might want to concentrate on the Recall and
Understanding questions, others of you can go on to
answer the Reason and Create questions. Pick and
choose which ones suit you best! You might want to
share some answers by talking to someone at home.

Recall
1 Name two things that Miss Elliot dislikes about
Charles? (p 18)
2 What is the difference between boys’ shirts and
girls’ blouses? (p 19)
3 What kind of music does Sophie like? (p 23)

Vocabulary
In this chapter we learn that Sophie knows the
collective noun for toads – “a knot of toads”.
Collective nouns are a word for a single thing that is
made up of more than one person, place, animal,
thing or idea.

Dear Diary,
I am writing to you in a very sombre mood. Despite
Charles’ continued kindness, I can’t help but feel
melancholy. Every night I sit on the window sill,
looking out on the houses and world below, mother-

deepens my sadness. How I long for my mother! I

Wednesday Grammar and Punctuation: semi-colons
Look back at Chapter 4 (see link from yesterday).
There are two examples of semi-colon in this chapter
as Sophie is thinking about mothers:
1 “Sometimes they carried sleeping children;
fat babies, and toddlers with legs stuck out
at peculiar angles.”
2 Even paper mothers were better than
nothing; even imaginary ones.”
Watch this link which explains why we use semi-
colons rather than commas or full stops:

We would like you to use what you have learnt already to

explain the different parts of the cycle in your books. Try to

Responding to the Text

The novel we are reading uses very poetic language.
One of its themes is “Home”. In Chapter 3, when
Sophie hears the cello music she says “It feels…like
home. Do you see what I mean? Like fresh air.” Today
and tomorrow, we would like you to work on
creating your own poem about your home.

In order to do this, we would like you to focus on

using onomatopoeia to bring your home alive to us in
sounds, through your choice of words.

Poet Joseph Coelho shows us in this short video what

onomatopoeia is and how we can have fun with
words; we can even make some of our own ones up
if we like.

Writing and Redrafting your poem

Poet Joseph Coelho talks about how he writes poems
about his own experience and where he used to live.
He also talks about personification which we looked
at last week. You might like to add some of this to
your poems too!

Joseph explains how important poetry is in helping

us to understand and process our emotions; this
could come in very handy, especially during
lockdown!
