Good morning Year 5, I hope you are doing well today. Let’s get started with today’s home learning:

English

LO: Nonsense poems

• One of Mr Lindsay’s favourite poems is a nonsense poem – The Jabberwocky, by Lewis Carroll: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/42916/jabberwocky
• Nonsense poems use silly, made up words mixed with real words, and are often silly, funny, or nonsensical
• Today, you will be writing your own nonsense poem.
• Watch the videos, and use the attached guideline to help you write your own nonsense poem.

Maths

LO: Adding decimals with different number of decimal places

• Sometimes you will be given numbers with different amounts of decimal places
  • For example, 3.4 + 6.29
• Today’s lesson will teach you how to do that
