Wednesday 18th

Happy Wednesday!

Well done for completing your first day of home school yesterday.

Morning starter: 

• Spellings practice of Unit 12 words and pages only. Please do not do more than this. 
• Check you have finished your mental maths homework (Unit 2 Test 6) 
• If finished, practise some TTRockstars OR IXL Maths or English for 20 minutes (choose from Year 5 sections)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

English - L. Q Can I improve my grammar, punctuation and spellings ?

Please complete Test 1 in your English books. This test does not need to be treated as a test but more like how you complete your mental maths. 

I have provided 3 levels for you to choose from:

• Mild - Test 1 from level 2 book 
• Medium - Test 2 from level 3 book (there is no test 1 available)
• or Spicy - Test 1 from level 4 book

You do not have to complete them all but you may wish to if you want to really challenge yourself!


***Complete all English work NEATLY in your blank English book. Remember to always write the date then the LQ and always UNDERLINE both with a ruler before starting each task (just like at school!)


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maths - L.Q. Can I convert decimals into fractions and vice versa?

Watch this video to start - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckqxLQ6Ra4I

Then complete work. I would like everyone to complete Mild questions and then, if you feel you can continue, please do Medium and maybe even Spicy (remember, these are tricky and not for everyone)

• Mild -  Questions 1 - 4
• Medium - Questions 5 - 9
• Spicy - Decimals as fractions reasoning and problem solving activity

***Complete answers NEATLY in your blank Maths book. Remember to always write the date then the LQ and always UNDERLINE both with a ruler before starting each task (just like at school!)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reading - Spend 30 minutes reading for pleasure.

Top tips:

• Choose something that interests you and that provides suitable challenge
• Read aloud to yourself, a parent, guardian or older sibling/family member 
• Write down any unfamiliar words and find the definition(s) using a dictionary
• Write questions regarding the section you have read that another reader could answer
• Use Oxford Oxl to find lots of free online e-books. Follow this link: Oxford Owl books, click on 'My class login then enter class name 'msform5' and the password 'mougins'. Children know which stage they are on. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Science - L.Q. Do I know who Galileo is? Do I understand why he is associated with the solar system?

Use these useful links to create a fact page/poster about Galileo Galilei and his association with the solar system. 

For example: Galileo developed the telescope to enable close observation of the night sky.


Try to write in your own words as much as possible, ensuring that what you are writing down is language you understand. 


Challenge (optional) - Write about other famous scientists associated to exploring the solar system also.

Here is a useful link to get you started:  https://www.ouruniverseforkids.com/famous-scientists/


***This work to be completed on a separate sheet OR in your English book.

I will upload/send answer sheets later this afternoon for those who are able/have time to mark their work. If not, I will mark once back at school. Good luck and hope you have a great day :)

Telling the time...

This week Year 5 will be having a big focus on telling the time. There are lots of children that are currently finding this difficult and therefore need to practise regularly at home. Those children who still need to practise have a sheet to help them that we completed in class (please complete if it isn't already finished!).

Here is also a game to help you:

https://www.helpfulgames.com/subjects/mathematics/tell-time.html

I will be testing you again very soon.

Those who are confident with time should continue with Times Table Rock-stars or IXL Maths.

Homework

The blog is being silly and won't let me put homework in the homework section today?!

So today's homework is to learn the 23 capital cities of the countries you located next week.

You should now all have the sheet to help you and here is the link to Quizlet to help you revise also:

https://quizlet.com/183073705/european-capitals-plus-a-couple-extra-flash-cards/?x=1jqt

The test will be next Monday 27th January.

Happy New Year and Thank You!

Dear parents,

Just wanted to say a big thank you for your generous gifts and cards before the holidays. It was really kind of you and was much appreciated and enjoyed.

Wishing you all a wonderful 2020

Best wishes,

Hannah

Unwanted CDs wanted!

Hello!

If anyone has any old or unwanted CDs that you would be willing to donate to Year 5 for a Science experiment, please bring them in this week. It doesn't matter if they are scratched or damaged and we will not be using them for computer purposes, only as a building material.




Thank you very much in advance :)
