Spelling :

Spelling Shed – new lists have been recently set up for our class. Once you have mastered each list on the easy mode, have a go at medium or hard

difficulty. You can access the entire Y5/6 statutory spelling list on our school website.

Complete both of these activities and send your completed tasks to Mr Wood on class dojo or using the class email address.

Guided Reading 1

This half-term we are focusing our attention on poetry. Research and write down the names of some famous poems and see if you recognise them.

Watch some of the videos in this link https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z4mmn39/resources/1 and select a poem that you like. On a piece of

paper or using ICT skills, write out and present the poem with illustrations and other interesting presentation tools.

You may wish to use fancy writing for words that you think should stand out, illustrations of key characters or events, or flaps and sliding parts to

make your presented poem stand out.

Please make sure that you send photos of the work to Mr Wood on Dojo or bring it into school when you return.

Maths Decimals

One lesson per day: https://classroom.thenational.academy/units/decimals-8526

Practise times tables:

TTRockStars – download the app or visit the website. There have been some changes to this in Year 5 but do not be worried if it is asking your child

to complete similar times tables repeatedly. The aim is to master all 12 times tables.

Design

Technology

This half term we are designing and building toys with moving parts. Watch the youtube video of toys made by year 5 children in another school.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYtSpnO2juI

What did you think of their designs?

How did they achieve the movement of the characters on top of their designs?

I would like you to sketch and label a picture of a moving cam toy like in the video. Add colour and label the materials needed for each part of the

toy. Lastly, think about the movements that you want to achieve and how you might be able to do that. Watch the video again, if needed.

Science Forces – effects on movement

On the following pages there are a selection of maths and spelling tasks that can be completed in addition to

the activities set in the table above. Mr Wood would love to see any evidence of the work that you are doing,

including from the activities below.

Maths Practice Tasks

Know by heart the multiplication facts up to 12X12.

Example: 3 x 7 = 21 and 21 ÷ 7 = 3 Suggestion: Remember the times

tables skip counting rhymes from

class and sing them in a range of

silly voices.

Please refer to the booklet we sent home: How to Learn Times-Table, which is full of ideas of how to learn them. Also available on our website.

Compare and order fractions.

Example:

Suggestion: Create some fractions

using items in your house (e.g. Lego)

and then compare the two fractions.

Explaining which fraction is greater.

Round whole numbers to the nearest

10, 100, 1000

Example: 231,435

Nearest 10 = 231,440

Nearest 100 = 231,400

Nearest 1000 = 231,000

Suggestion:

Roll a dice

3/4/5/6 times

to create a number. Round the number to

the nearest 10, 100 and 1000 (as above).

Draw a number line to help you round if

you need to.

Use a written method for division (Please refer to our

school’s Calculations Policy, which is in line with Lancashire’s)

Suggestion: Draw 4 playing cards and divide a 3-digit

number by the remaining digit value (see below)

Read, write and convert between units of

time.

Suggestion: find out the times of your

favourite cartoons or TV programmes.

Convert the times into 24-hour, digital

and analogue times.

Estimate the area of irregular

shapes by counting squares.

Example: 42cm2 Suggestion: draw irregular shapes or pictures on squared paper and estimate the area of the shape that you have drawn.

Complete, read and interpret information

in tables, including timetables.

Example: What time does the next train

arrive at Buckshaw? How many minutes

until another one will arrive?

Suggestion: examine the timetables at

bus stops and train stations. Figure out

when trains/ busses are due to arrive

and depart different stations or how

often they arrive at that stop.

Spelling Practice Tasks

Please refer to the booklet ‘How to Learn Spellings’, which is full of ideas of how to learn them. Also available on our website.

Using dictionaries to create word webs

Many words belong to word families where the root word is used to

create many other words.

Suggestion: Create a word web (like the one below) for any of the

words from this list

definite/ unhelpfulness/ quadrilateral/ disaster/ signature/

microscope

Plurals: adding ‘-s’, ‘-es’ and ‘-ies’

Rules for plurals:

For most nouns, just add -s. Add –es to nouns that end in ch, sh, s, x and z.

For nouns ending in a y, change the y to an i and as –es. Unless there is a vowel before the y, then just add -s

Suggestion: Choose any nouns and practise using the rules to turn a

singular into a plural e.g. one box, many boxes.

modify and act as a single idea
