Year 5 – Week beginning Monday 1st June
Hello Year 5.
First of all, we are pleased to announce the winner of the competition. Congratulations to everyone who took part – you will all receive a certificate, some individual feedback and a prize (when we can get it to you in a socially distanced way). However, the overall winner was Emma for her inspired and detailed picture, drawing on her own experiences in her garden during lockdown. Well done!
We hope you’ve had a wonderful half-term and made the most of the glorious weather by being outside as much as possible. Are you relaxed and ready to start another term of learning? Again, there are 5 maths lessons with worksheets and answers, 5 English lessons and a SPaG task. Also, there are wider curriculum lessons and you can decide which days you complete them.
Please send us emails with pictures, messages and videos of what you have been up to and your learning. As we are now working in school, we will reply at least once a week.

Looking forward to hearing from you all!

SPaG – Revise relative clauses
These are such a key skill for any good writer – make sure you can use them accurately and where they add useful information.

Task 1 – Science: Sedimentary Rock
We’re moving on to the 3rd type of rock this week – sedimentary rocks. Can you send us your most fascinating fact?
https://www.thenational.academy/year-5/foundation/how-is-sedimentary-rock-formed-year-5-wk3-3
Task 2 – History: Medieval Monarchs
We’re going to spend the next few weeks looking at monarchs from the medieval era – a very exciting and fast moving time in our national history. Will you be able to decide which king was the best? And more importantly, which king was the worst?!
Task 3 – Computing
Learn about algorithms and how to debug.
Algorithms are a set of instructions to complete a task.
Debugging means finding and removing errors (or “bugs”) from your code. Computer programmers can sometimes make mistakes (aka ‘bugs’) when writing their code.

Task 4 – Spanish
You may want to re-watch the video from last week to learn the alphabet and how to count. It takes practise and repetition to learn any new skill.
https://www.thenational.academy/year-5/foundation/el-alfabeto-y-los-numeros-year-5-wk1-2
If you think you are ready for the next lesson which is how to introduce yourself in Spanish.
https://www.thenational.academy/year-5/foundation/introducing-yourself-in-spanish-year-5-wk2-2
I would highly recommend using duolingo which can be downloaded as an app or used on the website https://www.duolingo.com/. Just 5 minutes a day will help you learn another language.
Task 5 – Music Challenge
We’d love to see videos or photos of the instruments you make!
Sedimentary rock often contains fossils of plants and animals millions of years old.
What an interesting fact Sulaiman! Which layer is the sedimentary rock?

science
Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of small particles and subsequent cementation of mineral or organic particles on the floor of oceans or other bodies of water at the Earth’s surface.
That’s fantastic Klea – well done, you should be really proud of yourself!
It sounds like you have been very busy already today. Remember you don’t need to do all of the wider curriculum tasks in one day, you could space them out over the week too. I’m sure Miss Taylor would love to see your guitar photo – send it to me too if you would like to. I’d love to see 🙂
Have a good afternoon.
