• Each week, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, we will produce a PowerPoint providing you with approximately 3 to 4 hours of work for you to continue learning at home. These will typically consist of: Reading, Writing, Maths and Foundation activities.

• If you require any more work, please visit Olive Hill’s website: http://www.olive.dudley.sch.uk/online-learning - or have a look at the year group’s work above or below Year 5.

• For Maths, there will be different levels of challenges, based on the work you feel most comfortable completing. Choose the level of difficulty for you and if you’re finding it too easy, push yourself and attempt the more challenging one. If you’re finding it too hard, perhaps have a go at the easier challenge.

• During each day, there will now be a ‘Gold Piece’ of work set. This piece of work is to be completed to the best of your ability and if completed and brought back to school, you will earn a ‘Gold Star’

• Answers for each activity will be included in the same day’s slides.

Challenge

½ of 88 is more than 3/4 of 100.

Do you agree? Explain why

Challenge Answer

1/2 of 88 = 44¾ of 100 = 75

So ¾ of 100 is worth more than ½ of 88

Arithmetic Answers

True or False• Giving reasons, explain whether the following are true or false:

Seven less than four is minus three.

-7 + 12 = -19

16 more than -4 is -12.

The temperature is -70C outside and 170C inside. The

difference is 100C.

Create your own similar questions for a partner.

True

False - the answer is 5. The answer goes

through 0, so +7 to 0, and +5 more to 5.

False - the answer is 12. The answer goes

through 0, so +4 to 0, and +12 more to 12.

False - the answer is 240C. The answer goes through 0, so -7 to 0 is 7, and 0 to 17 is 17. 7 +

17 = 24.

GeographyLQ: Can I write a non-chronological report?

Potoo

In today’s geography lesson, you are going to be introduced to six animals that are typically found in the

rainforests of South America. These are:

Sloth

Emerald Tree Boa

Red-Eyed Tree Frog

The next few slides give you facts about each animal. Once you have read about each animal, decide which

animal you want to focus on and write a non-chronological report about the animal.

This is your gold piece of work for today! Read carefully about each animal before deciding which

animal you would like to focus on. Think about how you can use the bullet points to write cohesive sentences about the animal. Perhaps do some

further research of your own and include further detail and facts about the animal you will be writing

about
