As always, we have tried to cater for a spread of ages and abilities, so please only attempt what you feel is suitable for your child.

The strategies behind some of the fdp conversions, might require a calculator. Please be reassured that this is absolutely fine to use. We would prefer the children to understand the strategies with the support of a calculator. This is in no way – cheating!

The following link is particularly useful if your child needs some extra practice http://mrbartonmaths.com/topics/fractions-decimals-percentages/fraction-decimal-percentage-equivalence/worksheets.html

Again , any questions please do email us.

It is hoped that this should not be new learning for the children and hopefully they will be consolidating strategies we have covered in class this year. As ever, if you feel that your child is having difficulties – please either e-mail us or use My Maths as a teaching tool. 

(As we are trying to cater for a variety of needs and ages, we have put a spread of activities – please use your judgement as to how much you think your child can cope with.)

 

Year 5/6 Home Learning W/C 20.04.20
Reading Please try to continue to read every day for a minimum of 30 minutes.  Listen to some audiobooks (Audible on Amazon has some really great stuff!)  Watch Authors read their stories on YouTube.  For example, David Walliams reads from his books daily at 11am – https://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses/

Aim to post a review of your book on the class Padlet Bookshelf when you finish a book.

First News have special offers at the moment: Click Here

Spelling https://www.edshed.com/en-gb

Continue to work on your Spelling Shed games and activities.  Make sure to check the Tab marked “Other lists” as there is lots more to do there too!

There are some great spelling games you could play too – Scrabble, Boggle, Hangman, Word Cookie.

Mrs Aldridge group: you could set up and then run your very own ‘Spelling Bee’ in your home.

English Reading Activities

Week one and two – one activity per day from CLPE Take 5 Cosmic and The Promise

CLPE  Take 5 – Cosmic by Frank Cottrell Boyce
CLPE Take 5 – The Promise by Nicola Davies

Writing, speaking and listening

Prepare and perform a 2-5 minute presentation on a subject of your choice. It could be a hobby, your pet, a favourite sport or something that interests you such as nature.

Here are three examples of public speaking that might inspire you:

Gretta Thunberg:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAmmUIEsN9A

Adora Svitak:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TN79Qyddsf0

Carson Byblow:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=px9CzSZsa0Y&t=126s

Think about their use of questioning, humour, facts, audience participation, repetition and personal experiences that have shaped their views.  How did they introduce themselves and their subject of choice and what conclusions were drawn by the end?

Performances can be shared via audio recording on your class Padlet page.  https://padlet.com/g_ricketts/TEDtalks

Art/DT Colour study – living artist study of Chris Ofili  Powerpoint available on school website
Science Look at the PowerPoint slides about blood, the heart and the circulatory system (there are four PP files in total, plus a video that goes with the third PowerPoint, and a Word and pdf document for the fourth).

Make a ‘blood’ smoothie.  No actual blood involved (not gross).

Answer the questions about the blood and heart, or give someone else a quiz.

Make a working model of the circulatory system.

Finally, carry out some investigations into how different variables affect our heart rate or breathing rate.  Present your data in a beautiful and interesting way.  For this there are some investigation suggestions in a Word document (but you can very much create your own) and a squared paper pdf document.

Any extra projects or investigations you are interested in – go for it!  And share what you find with us.

Computing Creating an Animated GIF

Animated GIFs are moving images, made up of different layers like a flicker book.  They are used by many companies as an eye-catching way to advertise themselves and can also be used in place of emojis during text exchanges.

Try and create your own animated GIF using the free online software.  One you have made your GIF you can upload it for others to view on your class Padlet page.

You could even try to make an animated model of the circulatory system as part of your science work!  See what you are able to come up with!  There are lots of examples from last year’s classes to look at for inspiration too!

Good luck!

Religious Education Unit U2.9 Why is the Torah so important to Jewish people? [God/Torah]

We are going to be learning about the Torah (Jewish holy text) and The Synagogue (Jewish place of worship) in this unit.  We want to find out about what makes the Torah and Synagogue so special for Jewish people and think about how they are similar and different to the Christian Bible and Church.

Make a mind map, either on paper to be photographed or on a Word or Publisher document that can be uploaded to your class Padlet that shows what you have found out from the research materials provided below and through the two PowerPoints shared.

A brief description about what the Torah is, how it is used and why it is so important for Jewish People.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/judaism/texts/torah.shtml

How to make your own Torah.  https://www.kidstorah.org/torah

Take a tour of two synagogues.  http://www.cheltenhamsynagogue.org.uk/  and  https://www.birminghamsynagogue.com/
