Remember to keep trying to do bits from this workbook every day so you will stay in a routine ready to return to school when we can. If you haven’t done any yet, then that is your challenge this week! The learning is mostly going back over what we have done already so you should be able to do most of it alone. If you do need help, then you can email or use Google Classroom. If you want to share the work you have done you can either: ➢ Put a picture on twitter and tag our school account

@Benjamin_Adlard. You can also tag my school account: @MrsKAslett

➢ Send a picture or file to the school using my email katie.aslett@benjaminadlard.lincs.sch.uk

➢ Work can be submitted for feedback/marking on Purple Mash at any time.

Year 5 Workbook Summer Week 4

Hello again Y5s! You only need this workbook if it has been sent to you.

I’m really pleased to see that some of you have continued to use Google Classroom and also lots of you have been using Purple Mash or sending

me work by email. Keep it up!

With the weather being a bit chillier, the boys have wanted to cuddle under blankets lots

this week.

As lockdown is stretching on, here are some top tips for staying happy, healthy and safe:

Try and do at least some work a day to keep your mind busy. Make use of outdoor spaces either by going in the garden or

going for a walk. (Follow government guidance.) Stick to a bit of a routine that involves some work, play and

family time. Try and do some exercise every day. Stay in touch with friends and teachers on Google Classroom or

Twitter. Stay in touch with family using phone calls or letters. Stick to a reasonable bedtime. Lots of you are staying up very

late which means you will find it hard to get back into a routine when we go back to school.

This week I have been continuing to enjoy The Storm Keeper’s Island. I think lots of you will really like this one. I have also been flicking through Urban Astronomy and using it to help with some stargazing. I have seen lots of really cool stuff this last few weeks. It would be lovely to see what you are all reading. Upload pictures to our reading account - @R4PBA

Listen to this book about a magical journey taken by a boy called Max from the book ‘Where the wild things are’mFollow this link to watch the video: https://cutt.ly/6yrU67Z In the story, there are many strange creatures that have never been seen before.

Here’s a new creature I managed to photograph on my travels to Africa last year. It is the extremely rare Rhiswanozebtah. It is made from four different animals: rhinos, swans, zebras and cheetahs – which gives it its name. Now you know it’s a mix of rhino plus swan plus the o of rhino plus the start of zebra and the end of cheetah, you will be able to pronounce it easily!

Professor Ted Splorer has written a paper about the Rhiswanozebteh using his research, to help you find out more about this wonderful animal. Read on and discover the world of the Rhiswanozebtah! You can listen to the text here: https://soundcloud.com/talkforwriting/rhi-swano-zeb-tah

The Rhiswanozebtah An information text by Ted Splorer

The Rhiswanozebtah is a very rare flying creature. Rhiswanozebtahs are easy to identify as they are made from four different animals. They have the head of a rhino, the body of a swan and zebra and the tail of a cheetah. They have a wingspan of 2.8 metres and can grow to over 5 metres in length, which means they are the largest flying creatures since Pterodactyl dinosaurs. Their tails are covered in fur and their heads are covered in leathery, grey skin.

Most Rhiswanozebtahs are found across South Africa, although some have been known to inhabit the deepest rainforests of Venezuela. Amazingly, Rhiswanozebtahs like to burrow and so make their homes underground. All Rhiswanozebtahs are carnivores and only eat meat. Interestingly, their favourite prey is the Springbok antelope, which they descend on from great heights and then wrestle to the ground. They have also been known to devour many smaller mammals such as African Wild Cats and aardvarks. As well as being the largest flying animal in the world, the Rhiswanozebtah is also the most talented. The majority can use their vocal cords to create the most beautiful song as the sun rises. For many years, scientists have been secretly tracking the Rhiswanozebtahs in the wild and now know that there are only about 625 roaming the savannahs and nesting in rainforests. Amazingly there have been rare sightings so maybe the Rhiswanozebtah will be spotted in a neighbourhood near you soon.

Day 2 GaPS

Guided Reading

Don’t forget that Varjak Paw continues on our website!

Maths

We will continue to look at 3d shapes today.

This week we will look at a piece of text about plants. Before we read the text, I would like you to look at some vocabulary. • nutrients- food that we need to live. E.g. We need to eat healthy food to make sure we get

enough nutrients • germinate- when a seed first starts to grow. E.g. I am so pleased that the carrots seeds I

planted have germinated. • fragile- easy to break or damage. • flimsy- easy to break or damage. E.g. These new rulers are not very good as they are too

flimsy and fragile. Read what each word means and then choose 3 to write into some sentences.

This is a good game for some extra practice: https://www.ictgames.com/mobilePage/shiftingShapes/index.html

Day 2

Now you have read the text, what did you like & dislike? What puzzled you (what questions do you have – why, what, how …) and what surprised you?

=

Your spelling words all have the ie or the i-e sounds. Can ypou find any more words with these sounds? Can you find any words that rhyme with your spelling words?

Day 3 GaPS

Guided Reading

Maths

This is our text for this week. Read it out loud and try and practice those fluency techniques that Mrs Anderson uses with you in Tuesday’s lessons. • Do certain bits need to be read faster or

slower? • What feeling are you trying to give to the

person listening? • What will you do if you get to a word you

can’t read? • How will you say the speech? • Do you need to stop and reread again?

You will need to read it aloud a few times to

get the fluency and expression correct.

Day 3

Non-core subjects

English

Choose one of the Science, Geography, Music, Art or DT activities from the list last week.

Reread the model text and then answer these questions about it.

1. Can the Rhiswanozebtah fly? 2. What are the four animals that make up the Rhiswanozebtah? 3. The Rhiswanozebtah makes it home underground. True or False? 4. What country can you mainly find Rhiswanozebtahs? 5. Look at the table below. Tick the correct box.

Day 4

Guided Reading

Reread yesterday’s text and then answer these questions: 1. Name one thing a plant needs to grow 2. Find and copy a word that means the same as delicate 3. What happens if a plant does not have enough light? 4. Wy has the author used bullet points in this first section?

Maths

Non-core subjects

Choose one of the Science, Geography, Music, Art or DT activities from the list last week.

English

Try using some sentence patterns from the Rhiswanozebtah report and create new sentences

using the same structure. • Adverb starters can be used when you want to give your reader a really juicy fact: Amazingly, Rhiswanozebtahs like to make their homes underground. Invent some more really juicy facts about the Rhiswanozebtah and start them with an adverb to engage. Be as creative as you like with your inventions. For example: Weirdly, Rhiswanozebtahs will sleep with one eye open You can also use these to start your sentences: Interestingly, Surprisingly, Weirdly, Intriguingly, Unusually, Astoundingly,

Go on a shape hunt. How many 2D shapes can you find in the house or on a safe walk outside? Make a note of how many you find or take some pictures.

This is a good game for some extra practice: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/early-years/shape-monsters

Day 5

GaPS

Guided Reading

Maths

Reading for Pleasure time Normally on a Friday we have our book talk session (which I am really missing) Choose to do one or more of these activities:

• Use GetEpic, the internet or books you have at home to research plants and life cycles. The challenge is to find 5 facts that you would have added to the ‘Did You Know’ book

• Sit and enjoy reading a book. Any book. Fiction, non-fiction , poetry. This could be a book you are reading on a kindle or on GetEpic.

• Write a book review to send to me by email or on Google Classroom to recommend a book you have enjoyed.

• Listen to the next chapter of Varjak Paw

Complete the spelling test on PurpleMash for this week’s spellings. If you can’t use PurpleMash then do a test yourself using Look, Cover, Spell, Check or ask someone at home to help.

This week you have written some instructions for making a sandwich. Today, choose to do one or more of the following:

• Find some instructions for baking or cooking something that you could follow with an adult’s help.

• Write some more instructions for another sandwich or food item. • Write some instructions for looking after a pet. • Publish your sandwich instructions either by typing them up, writing them again with

illustrations or using PurpleMash.

How many shapes can you see? Now try draw your own picture using different shapes or cut some shapes out of paper to make a shape collage.

➢ Listen to some songs by The Beatles. You should find them easily on Youtube. I recommend:

• Here Comes the Sun

• Yellow Submarine

• Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

• All You Need Is Love

• Octopus’s Garden

• All Together Now

• Good Day Sunshine

• Let It Be ➢ Do you have a favourite? Let us know on Twitter or

Google Classroom. ➢ Have a chat with your family. What song is their

favourite? ➢ Listen to some of the covers of Beatles songs by

other people. What have they changed? How is the music different? Which version do you like best?

➢ Have a go at learning the lyrics to a song and put on your own family performance.

➢ The Beatles were a really important and influential band from the 1960’s. Do some research into the men that make up this famous band.

Your non-core subject activities can either be found on the website, in last week’s booklet or on Google Classroom. If you need them sending again then just drop me an email.

The Science and Geography work I have seen so far has been amazing. I have loved looking at your lifecycles and memories on PurpleMash.

Some tips for finishing some more of these activities: • You don’t really learn much by copy and pasting information straight from the internet.

Read it first and then type the important bits in your own words. • Try and remember to go back and edit your work for the basics. Lots of work I am seeing

doesn’t have capital letters or full stops and some doesn’t make sense. • Concentrate on just doing a few pieces well rather than loads of rushed pieces.

Keep up the hard work. I am so proud of you all!

I have set some extra optional work on PurpleMash. If you need your log in, get in touch. It would also be brilliant to see some more of you using Google Classroom. If you need help setting it up then email me or ring school for some help. We are all really enjoying chatting to each other again.

If you are looking for an extra Science activity, there is a good one here about how plants reproduce: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/znghnrd

Year 5 – Computing Home Learning

If needed, watch Episode 2: Who’s Magnus? again with your child at

www.thinkuknow.co.uk/8_10/watch .

Ask your child:

• Why was Ellie upset?

• Explain that Ellie needs someone to help when she is upset. Look at the

activity ‘Who should Ellie turn to?’ below.

• Read the description on each line and ask them to decide whether this is a

good person for Ellie to talk to. Then check and discuss their answers.

• Explain that someone with the ‘good qualities’ they have ticked would be a

trusted adult.

• Finish by asking your child:

• Who did Ellie turn to? Were they the best person to go to?

• Ask your child to explain why, and encourage them to think about how

Magnus has some qualities they put a cross against in the activity

Non-internet access task

• For those of you who don’t have the internet why not try some

of these activities below to reinforce computational thinking

concepts at home.

PSHE activities from Mrs Ward A focus on: Tolerance

Hello year 5&6,

I hope you are all ok and that you have had a good week? I hope you all enjoyed last week’s work on the Rule of Law. Your teachers have forwarded me some of your work and I am really proud of you all. Well done! This week we are going to be focusing on the British Value of Tolerance. You will see that Tolerance is the third British Value on the British Values Hand and it is represented by the third finger (tallest pointing to God).

Task 1 - How many of the British Values can you recall from memory? Use the British Values hand to help you - you should be getting good at these now!

Tolerance

When we talk about the word ‘tolerance’ we mean that we are accepting of feelings, habits or physical attributes that might be different to our own. Here in Great Britain we are a multi-cultural society. People come from all sorts of different religious and ethnic backgrounds, people have different lines of work, and people have differing opinions and different hobbies. No two people are exactly the same and it means that we live in a diverse and interesting society. Although any two people may differ in many ways, we are always treat each other equally showing tolerance and respect towards each other’s differences.

Let’s have a think about the word EQUAL for a minute. We use this words ‘equal’ in our learning all of the time. We use it in maths to show that the calculation of two numbers is equal to the answer. We use it if two objects are the same in capacity. And we can also use it to describe the way we should all treat each other in society.

Task 2 –What does the word Equal mean to you? It might have more than one meaning. Jot down as many as you can think of or discuss with an adult or sibling.

EQUAL

‘People Equal’ by James Berry

Some people shoot up tall. Some hardly leave the ground at all. Yet-people equal. Equal. One voice is a sweet mango. Another is a non sugar tomato. Yet-people equal. Equal.

Some people rush to the front. Others hang back, feeling they can't. Yet-people equal. Equal.

Hammer some people, you meet a wall. Blow hard on others, they fall. Yet-people equal. Equal. One person will aim at a star. For another, a hilltop is too far. Yet-people equal. Equal. Some people get on with their show. Others never get on the go. Yet-People equal. Equal.

Now we have thought carefully about the meaning of the word ‘equal’, I would like you to take some time to read the following poem. The poem is called “People Equal” and was written by James Berry.

Task 3 – Poem Key Questions – Now you have read through the

poem, think carefully about the following questions. You could

even discuss them with a sibling or adult.

How did the poem make you feel?

Did you enjoy the poem? Why?

Could you identify any poetry key features?

Why do you think James Berry repeats the word Equal twice in

each verse?

What image did you picture in your head as you read through

each verse?

What does the poem demonstrate with regards to Tolerance,

Respect and Equality?

Task 4 – Can you draw an illustration for each verse of the

poem showing how two people may be different but also

equal? Try to include the = sign in your illustration and show

some key differences between each character (for example for

verse one you may draw a very tall person and a shorter person

with an = sign in between them).

If you want an extra challenge and are feeling like you really want to impress, can you write an additional verse for the poem or your own version of the poem to demonstrate how people may be different but are also equal? I have done an example of my own verse for you below.

Mrs Ward’s additional verse for People Equal (I am sure you will be able to think of some far better ideas!)

‘Some people are loud and gloat,

While others may be quiet and remote,

Yet People equal. Equal’.

Well done year 5 and 6. I cannot wait to see what you all come up with. Keep working hard and keep taking care of yourselves and your families. Please continue to share your work via google classroom and I will give you all feedback on all of your wonderful learning – I really love seeing it!

Mrs Ward ☺
