Finding fractions of Amounts A fraction tells you how many parts of a whole there are. When we find a fraction of an amount, we are working out how much that 'part' is worth within the whole. You can see fractions of amounts all around us:

Shops have sales that say, “¹/₂ price!” or “¹/₃ free!”

You might use fractions when baking, for example, “add half a teaspoon of salt” or “use a ¹/₄ of a kilogram of flour”.

Remember: Divide the integer (whole number) by the denominator, then multiply that answer by the numerator. Follow up tasks in home learning workbooks: Power Maths 5B, pages 119 - 121.

Reading – Comprehension https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zs44jxs Watch the three learner guides about comprehension. In the online lesson, we will read and discuss a biography of a British soldier, Simon Weston. We will read the biography together as a class, and answer questions about what you have read. We will focus on: Negative and positive information Descriptive words Layout features of the text Language features of the text Retrieval and Inference skills Follow up tasks in Home Learning Workbooks: KS2 Comprehension - Book A, pages 10 – 11.

Using fractions as operators Some fraction calculations can be expressed differently, but give the same answer. You will need to decide which method is the most efficient. Example: 1/5 of 10 =

10 ÷ 5 = 2 (divide the integer by the denominator)

2 x 1 = 2 (multiply the answer by the numerator) 1/5 x 10 = 10/5 (multiply the numerator by the integer, the denominator stays that same) 10/5 = 2

= 2 wholes

You will notice that finding a fraction of a number and multiplying the fraction by the number will give the same answer.

Spelling Word endings - suffixes A suffix is a letter or group of letters that can be added to the end of a word to make a new word. Advert + ise -> Advertise Happy + ly -> Happily Spelling tasks in Home Learning Workbooks: Book 4 (KS2 Grammar, Punctuation & Spelling - Year 5 Targeted Question Book) page 84 and 85.

Brackets for extra information https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zvwwxnb/articles/zg6xb82 Brackets can be used to add additional information to a sentence. Without brackets: Albert the alien was in charge of the wrecking ball. With brackets: Albert the alien (who had no training) was in charge of the wrecking ball. The sentence has to make sense without the words inside the brackets, it's just a bit more interesting with the added detail.

Art:

Our new topic in Art: African and Aboriginal Art.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0114c6w

This clip explores the different designs, purposes and significance of African masks from around Africa. It examines

the ways in which various types have particular spiritual, historical or traditional significance in African life according

to their creators and places of origin. It also looks at a variety of African masks still used today.

Use the ideas in this clip to help you to design your own mask.

Science: Electricity

Static electricity is the build-up of an electrical charge on the surface of an object. It is called "static" because the

charges remain in one area rather than moving or "flowing" to another area.

Watch the clip and have a go at some of the static electricity experiments at home.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZHJcQK4Nig&ab_channel=TheDadLab

What did you observe? What did you predict would happen? What happened during the experiment? What changes

took place?
