Year 5 Home Learning Wednesday 20th January 2021
Good morning Year 5, I hope you are all well. The weather is due to be very rainy for the next couple of days which is a shame because you might not be able to go outside as much. However, going out in the rain can be a lot of fun. Pull on your rain coats, wellies and grab your umbrellas. There are plenty of puddles to go and splash in and feeling the rain on your face can be really special. It also gives you the opportunity to do some good indoor activities like painting, baking, colouring and reading or playing some Lego/board games. Remember there are challenges on Sumdog for you to do, well done to those of you who have been completing them. Keep up your fantastic Home Learning. I’m so impressed with what I am seeing on Seesaw.
Reading
Please read for at least twenty/thirty minutes every day. Talk about what you have read with an adult. Discuss the story, characters and any new vocabulary you come across. If it is a non-fiction text then look at the contents page, glossary or index and see how it helps you find information.
We can issue books and change books as needed.
Reading Challenge: Draw a picture of your favourite character from the story you are reading or one you have read before. Write a short description of who they are and what you have learnt about them through your reading. Please do this in your exercise book with today’s date.
Spelling
This week we are investigating the suffix-ancy. Please learn these spellings for Friday (22.01.21). If you don’t know what a word means ask an adult or look it up in a dictionary. To help you learn them write them down each day in your exercise book with the date. You could focus your handwriting at the same time.
infancy pregnancy extravagancy significancy absorbancy
truancy expectancy redundancy vibrancy buoyancy
reluctancy elegancy flamboyancy occupancy accountancy
English
After reading the first part of the story, what mysteries have been set up? What clues can you spot that the setting is faraway? Some examples could be…desert, goatskin flask, donkey, etc. What have you learnt about Issa so far? Re-read the paragraph beginning, ‘Issa’s old eyes…’ What can we infer (find out) about him from these words? Take some time to think about these questions and the answers.
Read the next few pages of Mysterious Traveller (documents below).
You will be answering the comprehension questions (documents below) about language, character and plot. The questions get more difficult as you work through them. The answers will be posted on tomorrow’s blog.
Please write your answers in full sentences in your exercise book.
The date and title are:
Wednesday 20th January 2021
Can I use retrieval, inference and prediction to answer comprehension questions?
Retrieval means that you can simply find the answer directly in the text.
Inference means to find something out from what you have read already, by problem solving from previous knowledge rather than simply finding the answer in the text.
Prediction means to work out what you think will happen before you know what really does happen.
Please post this on Seesaw for me to see.
Maths
For your mental starter play - Subtraction Grids and select two numbers, up 100.
https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/subtraction-grids
Please follow the link below to the White Rose Maths webpage and watch the lesson – Equivalent fractions.
These lessons start by recapping prior learning then move onto Year 5 objectives. The work will get more challenging as we progress.
Print out the worksheet below and stick it into your exercise book or copy the answers into your book.
The date and title are:
20.01.21
Do I understand what an equivalent fraction is?
Problem Solving Extension (optional):
Three digits
Imagine you have 25 beads.
You have to make a three-digit number on an abacus (shows numbers in units, tens and hundreds etc using beads).
You must use all 25 beads for each number you make. How many different three-digit numbers can you make?
Write them in order.
Focus:
Solve mathematical problems or puzzles.
Know what each digit represents.
Order a set of whole numbers.
Coins on the table – Answer:
Anna put 12 coins on the table.
Science
Click on this link and follow the lesson on Soluble and Insoluble materials.
In school, we will test materials to see if they are soluble or insoluble and record our observations and results in a table copied from slide 6. If we have time, we will try the normal water/salty water experiment suggested on slide 7.
The date and title are:
Wednesday 20th January 2021
Can I investigate whether materials are soluble or insoluble?
Please post this on Seesaw for me to see.
French
You have learnt about the planets in Science recently. Now let’s learn the French words for the planets and we’ll do a piece of space writing in a couple of weeks’ time once we’ve built up our vocabulary. Please read through all these instructions before you start.
Listen to this song first. See if you can pick out the names of the planets. They are very similar to English apart from Earth which is la Terre (la tair).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-G7trS2qCk
In your exercise book, write the date:
mercredi vingt janvier – no capitals in French remember!
Write the LO: Can I name the planets in French?
You are going to draw a diagram of our solar system and name the planets, the sun and our moon in French. Look at the picture in the documents below – French - Planets.
Start with a large sun on the left-hand side of the page. You could just draw part of the sun to show how huge it is. Label the sun le soleil (luh solay. You don’t need to write this. It’s just how to pronounce it.)
Now draw the planets in order (MVEMJSUNP – My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming Planets). We’ll include Pluto for the purposes of this exercise.) Add a moon next to Earth and label it la lune (la loon).
You can find the spellings of the planet names using this online dictionary:
https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english-french
Click on the audio button to hear the pronunciation and repeat the word a few times.
Your diagram should look something like the example below – French – Planets.
Please colour it in suitable colours.
Now use the dictionary to find the French words for:
Close to
Far from
Hot
Cold
and listen to how to pronounce them.
Write the English and French words under your diagram. You’ll need these soon.
Now listen to the song again, listening for the names of the planets and some of the words you’ve just looked up.
Please post this on Seesaw for me to see.
Merci beaucoup. A la semaine prochaine!

Maths Challenges: Mixed Times Tables and Timetables and Line Graphs.
Spelling Challenge: The suffix -ance. This is slightly different from our test spellings…the suffix – ancy, but still worth working on.
If you would like to do an extra bit of PE today click on the link below for a live lesson, it is called 'Cool Catcher' and is on at 2.00 - 2.45 today.
