Task 3 Maths IXL

We have worked sooo hard on our Four Operation rules over this term we have almost mastered long multiplication and long division too )sooo proud of you).

We know that the product of two numbers is the answer when we times and the quotient is the answer when we divide- with that in mind please complete F8.

We will be moving onto fractions so to get jog your memory complete the fractions review S1

TASK 4 English - focused writing task

We explored the pros and cons of Fracking last week- there was a lot of cracking work (did you get my pun? :D

I want you to imagine you are a Journalist this week. Imagine that Fracking has continued just outside of Blackpool in Little Plumpton. The Fracking has caused a terrible earthquake: Here is the key information

It happened at at 9: 50pm (Friday 26th March) .

I shook houses, knocking ornaments over and even TV’s fell from wall.

A crack appeared too in the promenade at Blackpool near to the Tower.

Slates fell off a roof in St. Annes and a man (Simon Jones 45 a teacher) had to be taken to hospital with head injuries.

The Fracking company have Quadrilla have been drilling for shale gas on the site for only 2 months

I would like you to write an opening paragraph a News report plus an impactful Headline! I have attached a lesson from earlier this term (14mins) to remind you about how to write that opening paragraph to the report! BUT BE AWARE IT IS A MEMORY JOGGER NOT THE LESSON YOU HAVE TO WRITE ABOUT THIS EARTHQUAKE! Once you have written it type and edit it into your Purple Mash

Here is the Success Criteria grid to help you too - make sure you have all the features. Edit your work for spelling errors and the quality of your punctuation too.

Task 5 Spelling

Do you remember this lesson from a few weeks ago? It is a great way to remember these tricky words! Learn the little stories and rhymes for next week! Will you be able to teach another child in school? Before next Thursday complete the spelling text on Purple Mash too.

Enjoy - you can do it!

Year 5 homework week 1 to be handed in Thursday 10th September

Hello Parents,

It has been a joy to have the children back in school this week! We have launched ourselves into our History Topic and our maths curriculum! I will be setting homework every week. I will be sending the homework books home on alternate weeks and then setting the next week online to complete on Purple Mash or another digital platform.

This week I have sent their new homework book home and below are this weeks tasks:

GET CREATIVE

Please decorate your new homework book so it reflects your personality and celebrates your hobbies!!

MATHS - PUZZLE TIME

We have solved a couple of fun puzzles this week. I have set another one here - in fact I have set two. If you enjoyed the first, have ago at the second one. If it took a while to solve the first you can leave the second for class. If you love maths then make sure you are a focused Kuba Crab and do both!!

READING

Reading is always the most important set homework of the week! Reading is not work - it is a joy and a hobby, which opens up every world!! The children have all selected their reading books and I am conferencing each child and sharing their reading level and new ZPD code.

HISTORY

We are loving the Ancient Greeks! We already had a little look at them and their Gods in lockdown, this week we have investigated modern Greece compared Ancient Greece and discovered that it was very different to Ancient Eygpt. The Greek city states were very separate! We have also explored the Agora (market Place) through drama and discovered that Greek vases tell us so much about the history of this time. I would like you to investigate Ancient Greek Vases on the internet! Then thinking carefully about the “Agora Drama”. Pick a scene from the Agora to draw on a vases of your own! No more that four figures - make sure you include details- so we can interpret the scene. Make sure your vases looks old and would fit beautifully in a museum.
