Important information about sharing work- PLEASE READ:

• English- you only need to share the MAIN PIECE of English work with me to be marked. If you do wish to share any of the build up work, this is great but please ensure it is all on ONE google document with your initials or name clearly at the START of the document name. This makes it far easier for me to manage rather than having lots of separate documents. 
• Reading - comprehension questions should all be on the SAME google document as previous weeks. You just need to add a new subheading for each chapter.
• SEESAW- If you are uploading work to SeeSaw, please submit multiple photos for the same subject in ONE post. 
• Maths Sheets- these do not need to be shared, please date each one and keep them safe. Make notes on any particular topics you have found tricky. 
• Times table practice- Times tables are the foundation of the majority of Maths in Year 5 and 6. They are VITAL knowledge and you will need to recall ALL times table facts quickly (without counting in sequence) ready for Year 6. Please do practise these everyday, there are some great apps out there for times tables (e.g. Squeebles) and you have Times Table Rockstars to use as well.

Easter Holidays 

There will be no learning tasks set over Easter. However please keep up regular reading and enjoy books together with a parent or as a family. 

I will expect to receive these pieces of work via google docs, seesaw or email by Friday 1st April.

• Rainforest story
• Dinosaur factfile 
• Living things science assessment (set on google classroom).

Well done for all your hard work over the past couple of weeks. Many of you have shared some excellent pieces of learning with me, so thank you! 
 

Enjoy your Easter holiday. If you need some fun activities to do, watch this page for updates. There may be prizes on offer! This is completely optional! 

Email Addresses

If you are sharing your work with me on google classroom, you will still need to use the following email address for now which should be set up on your google account.

karrandale@winterbourneearls.wilts.sch.uk

Please name documents starting with your initials e.g. KA Rainforest story

NEW Email Address for questions

We now have a class email up and running.

This email if for you (children) or parents to email any questions regarding home learning.

Please use this email:

willow@winterbourneearls.wilts.sch.uk

Any photos of your home learning you would like to share with me can now be shared on SeeSaw.

You can download the app or access through google/ safari browsers. Mrs Hyde has sent an email of instructions to set this up... well done to those who already have.

Epic reading

This can only be accessed during school hours 9am-3pm. 

Google Classroom

Please check whether you can log into google classroom from home.

You need to log in with your username for the chrome book with @winterbourneearls.wilts.sch.uk on the end. Then use your normal password.

If you are not yet a member, the class code is: bgimjsl

You should be trying to keep up with Maths and English every day where possible. 

As year 5, you would work mostly independently on many tasks in class for around 45 minutes to 1 hour at a time. Therefore once you are set up with a task, you shouldn’t need to disturb your parent, particularly if they are working from home. 

Most of you would work independently on your English and Maths in class, asking occasional queries if required. You may then have some support from myself or Mrs Bravery checking through your work and checking off your targets in English. If you do your work on google docs and label your targets, I will be able to provide this feedback. 
Other foundation subject activities are provided here for guidance. Many of you would also work independently in many of these subjects for around 45 minutes, such as art, science or Geography. Therefore, you shouldn’t need much assistance from a parent once set up unless it involves something you need to be supervised for such as cooking.

Useful website for Maths support

The following website is really useful to support your child with their learning in Maths. This is the scheme we follow at school for Maths and they have produced some online videos and support for children learning at home. Please check the website to see whether there are useful resources for what your child is learning in Maths each week.

Friday 20th March

Maths

WALT:  Subtracting Fractions.

1. Wizard warm up- complete questions 1-10 from Skills Check Sheet 53.1 (SHEET 1)

2. Complete page 2 and 3 from sheet in resources below.

Write out the question and the answer in your home learning book. Remember to convert fractions so that they have the same denominator before you subtract. (See adding fractions video for reminder of this if needed)

English- See Thursday tasks below and check they are completed.

Thursday 19th March

Maths

Complete subtracting fractions worksheet PAGE 3 ONLY-  complete 10 QUESTIONS.

Use the same method as we used for adding fractions.

REMEMBER: Each fraction needs to have the same denominator so you will need to convert one fraction.

e.g.

9/10 - 1/5 = ?

Step 1- convert the 1/5 into tenths. Mutliply the denominator (5) by 2 to equal 10. Do the same to the numerator (1 x 2=2). Therefore 1/5=2/10.

Step 2- cross out and replace the 1/5 in the calculation with the equivalent of 2/10.

Step 3- now both fractions have the same denominator, you can subtract the fractions. 9/10 - 2/10 = 7/10.

English (Thurs and Friday)

Thursday:

1. Read The Jungle Book text from below in resources.

2. Answer the comprehension questions on the text.

3. If you can, watch the film The Jungle Book and make notes on the main characters.

Friday:

1. Invent at least three characters for your own story set in a rainforest. There will need to be at least two 'goodies' (maybe they can be friends?) and at least one 'baddie' who causes a problem in the story. These could be humans or animals. Your characters could be based on a story you already know e.g. The Jungle Book.

2. Draw each character. Surround with adjectives (describing words) which relate to their appearance and their personality.

3. Write one sentence about each character using a relative clause.

E.g. John, who was extremely tenacious, dashed through the dark, eerie forest.

Science

Investigate heating and cooling different materials (with adult supervision!)

• Items you could investigate are: egg, chocolate, water, milk, candle wax..... what else could you find to test?
• Plan your investigation- write an aim, prediction- what will happen if you heated or cooled each item? And draw a results table for noting your findings.
• Take some photos are your investigation. Make sure you print them and stick them in your book if you can. Or email them to me to see your great experiment!
• Decide if each reaction is reversible or irreversible and explain why using your knowledge of solid, liquid and gas.
• Use the worksheet if you wish, or just write up in your own way in your book.

Wednesday 18th March

English/ Geography

1. Read for 15 minutes.

2. Ninja words to research- banish and contort.

3. Watch the video on longitude and latitude.

4. Complete longitude and latitude worksheet.

Maths

1. Watch the video from yesterday to remind you how to add fractions of different denominators.

2. Complete the worksheet. Write out the question and show your working out. If you can do 6 confidently, move onto the problem solving questions sheet (CHOOSE to do PAGE 2,3 OR 4 from challenge questions).

If you are still finding the adding process tricky, complete 12 questions on the 1st sheet only.

Computing

Research semaphore coding and how it is used.

Write some coded words/ messages using semaphore for an adult/sibling to decipher.

Tuesday 17th March

Maths

1. Arithmetic test sheet- complete all questions.

2. Click on the link to watch the video for adding fractions with different denominators. Remember: You need to convert one fraction so that is has the same denominator as the other before they can be added together.

E.g. 1/2 + 1/10 

• You need to convert 1/2 into tenths by multiplying the denominator and numerator by 5.
• Therefore the equivalent would be 5/10.
• Replace the 1/2 with the equivalent of 5/10. Now the calculation becomes 5/10 + 1/10 = 6/10

3. Complete the questions on the last slide. Copy out the question and show working out.

4. Complete section B from text book page- see photo.

English

1. Write a newspaper article about an event. Ensure you use all the main features of a newspaper (headline, columns, direct & reported speech, picture & caption, paragraphs, past tense, third person).
