Class Novel
Now that you are all up and running with Microsoft Teams, we have
uploaded recordings of us reading our Class Novel.
You will find them in Class Materials Class Novel – Charlotte’s Web.
This week, you will find Chapters 15 -18 uploaded to Microsoft Teams.
Please make sure you are listening. If you have your own copies, please read along.
Key points and good vocabulary
As a way of keeping track of what is happening in the story, after each chapter it is a good idea to
bullet point the key events of that chapter. You could also pick out your favourite word(s) or new
word(s) that you have learnt from that chapter and write down the definition. If you have a copy of
the book at home, you might like to do this on post-it notes and stick them inside the book for each
chapter.
Remember, when summarising you need just the key points – it shouldn’t be too long or too
detailed.

History – Factories in the Industrial Revolution
Working conditions
Many factory owners put profit above the health and
safety of their workers.
Children and young women were employed in terrible
conditions in textile mills and mines.
Furnaces were operated without proper safety checks.
Workers in factories and mills were deafened by steam
hammers and machinery.
Hours were long and there were no holidays.
Children working in factories
Children were employed to work in factories as they were
cheaper than adults.
Children are smaller and so could do jobs that adults could
not as they were nimble and agile.
Children were often expected to work up to 12 hours a day.
Many families were poor and needed the money that the
children earned.
Child apprentices
Some factories had child apprentices working for them.
These children were not paid but instead received
other benefits.
Watch the video to find out more and then answer the
quiz questions below:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zsdw2hv
Activity 1
Quiz!
1. Write down 2 reasons why it was unfair for children to be working in factories.
2. Why did factory owners prefer to have children working?
3. How many hours a day did children have to work?
4. What did child apprentices get given instead of pay?
5. What is the name of the mill in the video? Does it look familiar?

provide better working conditions for their workers. You

English, SPaG – Tenses
SPaG – Tenses
A verb is a word used to describe an action, state or occurrence.
Verbs can be used to describe an action (doing something).
Miss Forsythe was running after the hockey ball.
Verbs can be used to describe a state (being or feeling something).
Miss Ashworth likes dancing.
Verbs can also be used to describe an occurrence (something
happening).
The caterpillar became a butterfly.
When you are writing, the verbs you use show if the events have
already happened, are happening now or will happen in the future.
The past tense is used for things that have already happened. Past
tense verbs often end in –ed but not always.
For example: I walked to the park.
The present tense is used when something is happening now or when
something happens regularly.
For example: I am walking to the park.
The future tense is used to talk about things that haven't happened yet.
For example: I will walk to the park.
Underline the verbs in these sentences.
1. The lion roared.
2. The children played football
3. The dog was eating his food.
29Are these sentences written in the past, present of future?
Past Present Future
1. We watched the television.
2. We will be waiting for you.
3. They are walking towards me.
4. Miss Hooker is snoring loudly.
Change the following sentences into the past tense.
1. There are two birds on the fence.
Yesterday there _______ two birds on the fence.
2. I am drinking some orange juice.
I _______ some orange juice.
3. Miss Ashworth likes her ice cream.
Miss Ashworth ______ her ice cream.
4. There is a cat in the garden.
There ______ a cat in the garden.
Change the following text into the past tense. The first two have been
underlined for you.
I am running towards you, but you are bolting in the opposite direction. They are
hurtling towards us, from the edge of the field. Liam runs away from the wooded
area, on the far side of the football pitch, but Amy sees him coming and gets out of
the way.

32Friday Challenge 1 – Stop Motion!
Stop motion is a method of animated filmmaking in which physical objects are
photographed after being moved by small amounts in order to create the effect of fluid
movement when the individual pictures are viewed quickly, one after another, in a film
sequence.
Famous examples of the medium include Wallace & Gromit, Fantastic Mr. Fox and Coraline:
For your first Friday Challenge, your task is to produce a stop motion animation movie of a
scene from one of this year’s Class Bookshelf texts or a scene from daily life at Gorsey Bank!
You can create the characters and objects within your movie by using items from around the
house (ask your parents/carers first!) or use any toys, figures or dolls that you own too.
These are two free apps for creating stop motion movies that you could use:
Stop Motion Studio Life Lapse
Apple iOS Android Apple iOS Android
We look forward to viewing your amazing creations! Be sure to share them with us by
emailing them to admin@gorseybank.org.uk or by Tweeting @GorseyBank or your class’
Feed using the hashtags #gorseyfromhome and #gorseycomputing
