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.

Sport - New Joe Wicks workout of the day - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhHY8mOQ5eo

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

Creative  - Play a game with your family. Maybe you could learn a new card game, play your favourite board game or maybe even try making a game up from scratch! 


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 :)
