Year 5 Home Learning Wednesday 27th January 2021
Good morning Year 5. Thank you for posting your fantastic work on Seesaw. I thoroughly enjoy reading it. I am so happy to see that you are doing such excellent work at home. A huge well done and thank you to all those who are helping you to keep learning, despite everything. I hope you managed to have a look at some of the audio books and Yoga I mentioned on yesterday’s blog. Have a good day and keep positive.
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 book 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: Use the book you are reading at the moment. Draw your favourite character. Write down three things the author says about this person. Please do this in your Home Learning exercise book with today’s date.
Spelling
This week we are investigating the suffix-ence. Please learn these spellings for Friday (29.01.21). 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 on your handwriting at the same time.
patience intelligence consequence influence evidence
essence reference audience circumference excellence

Re-read pages 30 to 36 - Mysterious Traveller 6 (documents below). Or click on the link and listen to the story being read to you. You will need to start at 20.19 minutes and stop at 25.36 minutes.

In the next few days, you are going to write your own faraway story, but today you will research and choose a setting.
Have a look at the wonderful and inspiring landscape images from National Geographic (Setting Pictures below).
Look at some possible settings that you might like to use (grasslands with a huge tree, barren mountains and a grey lake, desert rocks under stars, strange cities, rainforests and waterfalls, desert cities, tiny villages perched on the side of a mountain frozen land with startling blue lakes) – the list can go on and on.
Remember, you are thinking about and developing your ideas today.
You could look on the National Geographic website and find your own picture for your setting. Click on the link to look at some interesting photos:

When you have chosen the picture you like for your story setting. Then, stick it in you exercise book. The date and title are:
Wednesday 27th January 2021
Can I research my story setting and collect useful words, phrases and sentences?
Underneath the picture write the sub-headings:
Adjectives I will Use:
You will write all the adjectives that work well for the setting picture you have chosen.
Remember to use the online thesaurus from yesterday’s work to help you.
Follow this link:
Similes I will use:
You will write any similes that work well with your setting picture.
Look back at the imagery work we did for ideas.
Sentences with Relative Clauses that I will Use:
Here, you will write sentences that have relative clauses. Just like the work you did yesterday.
Please have a look on Seesaw where I have given an example of today’s work and a further explanation.
Please post this on Seesaw for me to see.
Maths
For your mental starter play the game – Sequences. Scroll down to ‘play game’ and have a go at level 11 and 12.

Please follow the link below to the White Rose Maths webpage and watch the lesson – Number Sequences.
Print out the worksheet below and stick it into your exercise book or copy the answers into your book.
The date and title are:
27.01.21
Can I continue and complete number sequences?
Please post this on Seesaw for me to see.
Problem Solving Extension (optional):
Zids and Zods
Zids have 4 spots.
Zods have 9 spots.
Altogether some Zids and Zods have 48 spots.
How many Zids are there?
How many Zods?
What if Zids have 5 spots, Zods have 7 spots,
and there are 140 spots altogether?
Find as many solutions as you can.
Focus:
Solve mathematical problems or puzzles.
Know multiplication facts to 10 x 10.
Add two-digit numbers mentally.
Franco’s fast food – Answers:
A curry costs £3.50, a pudding costs £1
and a tea costs 50p.
So, the total cost of a curry, a pudding and
a tea is £5.
Science
Write the date and today’s learning objective which is:
Wednesday 27th January 2021
Can I investigate reversible changes by separating mixtures by sieving, filtering and evaporating?
Click on this link to access the lesson:
Please read slide 5 carefully so you understand the difference between sieving and filtering. When would you need to use evaporation to separate a mixture?
Watch the Royal Society of Chemistry video on slide 8 before you start.
Now have a go at making, then selecting an appropriate method for separating the mixtures on slide 6.
Draw the results table on slide 7 into your book or print it out. Complete the table for each mixture that you try to separate. The vocabulary on slide 9 will help you. Check out slide 10 for an example of what a good results table looks like.
Well done! You have worked as chemists today!
Please post this on Seesaw for me to see.
French
We have been doing really well with our French phonics, so here’s a video to watch first to practise some sounds.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkR7BTicoxc
Now we are going to continue our learning about the Planets.
Download the PowerPoint Les planets (documents below).
There is one sentence about each planet. Please click on the sound button and repeat each sentence a few times so that you gain confidence with your pronunciation.
Now, write the date, in French and learning objective in your book:
Mercredi 27 janvier 2021
Can I translate sentences from French to English?
Use the key words boxes or the dictionary link to translate each sentence into English. Remember to translate how we would say it, not literally what is there in French. It must make sense in English.
Well done! We will use these sentences as a model next week to do our own sentences about the planets in French.
Here’s the planets song to finish.
