Year 5 Home Learning Activities – Week beg: 01.06.20 

Hi Year 5! 

We hope you’re all doing really well and that you enjoyed your half-term. 

Last week, we started making teaching videos to go with the activities in the home learning packs. We received some really positive feedback about these and so we will continue to upload them to Seesaw each week. 

Some of you said that it was a little tricky to access the videos because you had to logout of Seesaw and then login in with a new password. To make this easier, you will now be able to see all the videos on your journal so you can just use your original Seesaw login. 

You can also find all the videos for a particular week using the folders in your Seesaw. Here is how you find them: 

Step 1 

Click on ‘Journal’. 

 

Step 2 

Click on the folder symbol. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3 

Click on the folder for that week. 

 

We will upload three maths videos and three English videos a week. Next to each activity below, it will say if there is a teaching video to go with it. 

This week, we’re continuing with the next part of The Tempest, focusing on Weddings and Washing Lines! We hope that you are enjoying the story so far. Remember to make sure you watch the videos on ‘The Tempest Online’ website to remind yourself of what has happened. https://www.primaryshakespearecompany.org/tempest-2020-online 

Enjoy and have fun!

Other reading activities: 

● Find a funny place to read a book - it could be up a tree, under the bed or in a den. Take a photo and post it on Seesaw. 

● Find ten awesome adjectives in the text you have read and then use them to make a crossword. 

● Write down any unfamiliar words from the chapter you have read. Explore the meanings of these words by using a dictionary or reading around the sentence. 

● Read something around the house that isn’t a book e.g. a magazine, recipe book etc.

Writing: Writing a newspaper report. 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z2yycdm/articles/z2gk9qt 

 Activity 1:  Use the information and templates below to write a newspaper report on either of the scenes that have been suggested below. Make sure you read carefully how to structure a report as it is quite different from writing a story.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

  

Activity 2: Planning your report. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Activity 3 and 4: Writing your report. 

You will need 2 sessions in order to write an interesting and informative report about your chosen scene and the events that take place. 

 

Activity 4: See above. 

Activity 5: 

You need to add to your character list from last week. Which new characters have entered the story since then? 

 

Art: Become a costume designer! 

This week your task is to choose one of your favourite characters from the play and design the costume you would like them to wear in a production of The Tempest. 

You can sketch and design it first. Then, if you would like to, you can actually create it using paper, pieces of material and anything else that you can find at home to bring your ideas to life 

Use the ideas for the Ariel design below if you need some inspiration!!

Maths- Year 5 

AMAZING MATHS LESSONS - Watch these mini maths challenge lessons for Years 5 and 6, which are posted daily online. Everything is explained really clearly and you can easily join in at home. There are 

activities that you can complete too linked to the maths lesson. Enjoy! . http://www.iseemaths.com/lessons56/  

Are you enjoying these lessons? Tell us what you have learnt on seesaw.  

● Practise times tables using Times Table Rockstars (your logins are in your homework book). You can also logon to Numbots using your TT Rockstars login details. 

● Watch Countdown and try to solve the maths problems just like we do in class. Maybe you could play against one of your family members and see if you can win! https://www.channel4.com/programmes/countdown/episode-guide   

          Activity 1: 

Aim: To divide numbers using a written method and to understand remainders. 

  For example: 365 ÷ 7 = 52 remainder 1 

 Remember when you divide you are always using your times tables facts so it’s very important that you learn and can remember your times tables! Keep practising using TT Rockstars and if you know that there is a particular times table you find tricky keep focusing on it until you get better and better!  

Watch Katy’s Activity 1 video on Seesaw to help you.                 

  

       

 Challenge: Create and solve your own word problems, using short division.

 

Activity 2:  Aim: To multiply numbers using written methods  

Watch Katy’s Activity 2 video on Seesaw to help you.   Useful hint: Remember, you can use your knowledge of existing times tables to multiply large numbers, e.g. 20 x 7, use your knowledge of 2 x 7.   

 

  

 

  

   

  

  Challenge: Spot the errors! 

324 x 12 = 962 

 

Activity 3: Using your answers from activity 2. Solve these problems. Show your working out. You may need to use other operations, like addition and subtraction to help you to solve them. 

1. How many more grams of flour than salt did you use in the bread?  

2. Did you use more fennel or garlic in the soup recipe? Prove your answer by showing your working out.  

3. Convert how many grams of hazelnuts you need into kg.  

4. Put the ingredients for the Maccu Soup in order, from lightest to heaviest. 

5. For which recipe do you need the most weight in ingredients. Prove your answer by showing your calculations.  

You might find this multiplication grid helpful to help you solve the problems but try and work out the answer yourself first then check on the grid IF you need to.  

  

Challenge: Correct or Incorrect?   

If I know that 4 x 6 = 24 then I know that 40 x 6 = 240.  

If I know that 12 x 2 = 24 then I know that 12 x 20 = 2240.  

 

 

 

 

 

Activity 4 - It’s challenge time!  

Read the questions carefully and think about what the information is telling you and which operations you need to use to solve the problems.  

             

                    

    

   

Challenge 3: If…                

                      

         

Activity 5 - Let’s reason and problem solve - Mathematics is a creative subject. It involves spotting patterns, making connections, and finding new ways of looking at things. Creative mathematicians play with ideas, draw pictures, have the courage to experiment and ask good questions.  

The problem this week is called: Shapes Times Shapes  This is a problem from Nrich, in which you can practise your times tables facts, 

but in a way that needs you to reason too.  The task may look impossible to solve at first but I know you will feel curious 

about finding a solution. The problem also shows you the idea of how a symbol (in this case a shape) can represent a number. 

  

Watch Katy’s Activity 5 video in the Home Learning area on Seesaw to help you to get started.

Science:  

Our final topic in science for 2020 is…             What do you know about space? Can you sort the statements below?  Put them into a table like this: 

Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLOi2jJBai0 What would you like to know about space?  Write questions you want to know the answer to on the stars below.  e.g. Do the Moon and planets give out light? If the Moon and planets don’t give out light, how can we see them? Only five planets can be seen with the naked eye: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Why is this? 

           

      

 

 

 

 

 

 

Watch: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zdrrd2p/articles/ztsqj6f  

Can you place the planets in the correct order from the Sun? Finally, take the solar system quiz! 

   

Computing:  

For your Computing home learning this week, we would like you to explore the Chrome Music Lab: https://musiclab.chromeexperiments.com/Experiments.  

Once you have tried the different activities, why not put it all together and make a song using the Song Maker: 

 

P.E.  

Our focus for PE this summer term is athletics and cricket. This week we will be thinking about athletics and sprinting!   Activity: How far can you run in 5 seconds? Get someone to time you. Can you sprint again and beat your own distance? How far can you run over shorter and longer lengths of time?  Try running for 10 seconds, how far can you go? What about 20 seconds? You could record your results in a table. Set up sprinting races against your family. Who can run the furthest distance in 5 seconds? 10 seconds? 20 seconds? Record your sprinting and upload to Seesaw. We would love to see you sprinting like Usain Bolt and Dina Asher-Smith.    Other ideas:

History:  

 

http://www.william-shakespeare.info/elizabethan-wedding-customs.htm Research as much information as you can (use the link above as a starting point) to find out more about marriage in Elizabethan times.  

Make an illustrated fact sheet using the information you have found out. 

If you can, try to include some of the famous marriages that take place in 

lots of Shakespeare’s plays.  

 

 

 

PSHE: Friends    

We know that you are all missing spending time with your friends at the moment, we are too! Good friends are simply wonderful. They are fun to be around, they make you laugh, they take care of you when you’re feeling sad and they bring joy into your life.  

Think about your friends. Why are they so great?
