Good morning, how exciting, the last day of year 5 before the summer holidays
We have set the work today on each subject Google Classroom. If you cannot access Google Classroom the work can be completed on paper.
Please see below the tasks set for today:
Maths- This week we will be setting daily activities on mathletics for you to complete, this will allow your new teacher to know which areas you understand and which you may need to work on in September. Remember if you don’t score very highly the first time you can always have another try.
English- Over the next three days we would like you to create an informative PowerPoint for the new year 5 children. It should inform them about all the important aspects of year 5. Today we would like you to add any other key information which you think is important for the new year 5 children. Then record yourself presenting your presentation and add your video to the class PowerPoint.
Enjoy your summer break and don’t forget to complete your summer project. We can’t wait to see you all back in September.
Holiday Homework
Our first topic in September is Earth Matters - a look at the water cycle, coasts and rivers, mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes, climate zones and biomes. For your home learning over the summer holidays, your project is to research a volcano, earthquake or mountain range and produce an information poster about your choice of project.
Your poster should include maps, diagrams and photographs to make it as creative as possible. In addition, it would be fabulous if you could make a 3D map of the area concerned. Be as creative as you like, you could make it out of Lego, playdough, paint or even papier mache! You must include a key and use atlas symbols. Why not draw a route on your map to get from a starting point to a finishing point. To find an area, use Google maps and drop the person onto the country given then search for an area you find interesting.

Spellings- This morning I would like you to log on to Spelling Shed and have a look at your spellings for this week.
Next, open the Google document and use the internet or a dictionary to find the definitions to these words.
Once you have written down your spellings and their definitions, I would like you to create your very own revision flashcards using the 'Google Slides' document attached (on one side you will need to write the word, on the other side you will need to write the definition) - When you present this you will have the chance to guess your answer before it is revealed. Or you can create your own on paper.
You can use this document to practise your spellings ready for the Hive game on Thursday.
Let's see if we can get the whole class logging in this week!
Maths- Today we are going to add and subtract near multiples of 10, 100, 1000. Read through the PowerPoint slides before completing the questions. I have included a mild and a hot sheet (one is slightly more challenging) I will leave it up to you to decide which sheet you wish to complete.

This work can be completed in any order and at the time you wish. If you are completing the work on Google Classroom, we have included a document to add your work to so that we can check on your progress. If you are completing it on paper we would love to see a photo via dojo.

Spring 2, Week 3
As part of science week we have created an experiment to see the effect the mummification process would have had on the bodies which were mummified. We sliced and removed the insides of the fruit, just as the Egyptians would have removed the organs. We then created a natron mixture from salt and bicarbonate of soda and covered the fruit. We then left it for five days to see the effect it would have.
Spring 2, Week 2
This week we have thoroughly enjoyed English week. We created our own letters from objects in the classroom, using personification ( We based our ideas on The Day The Crayons Quit) We loves representing blue crayon in the parade and also taking part in paired reading with Holly class.
Spring 2, Week 1
This week we continued to work on our investigation skills in Science. We set up a test to find out how the weight of different objects changed in air and in water. We ensured that we only changed one variable it order to make sure that it was a fair test. We discovered that the weight of an object reduced when weighed in water and learnt about the effect of upthrust.
Spring 1, Week 5
This week we have written a balanced argument about life as pharaoh and a slave in ancient Greek times. In maths we have worked hard on our understanding of fractions, finding equivalents, simplifying fractions and converting improper fractions to mixed numbers. We have continued to work on databases in computing and explored friction in science.

This week year 5 took part in an Egyptian theatre workshop day. The workshop focused on many elements of the ancient Egyptian life, the children were engaged in the characters and supported them in solving challenges to remove the curse which had been placed on the explorer.
They also learnt Egyptian stories from different Egyptian gods and supported them in retelling the stories through actions. We are looking forward to using this in our upcoming work.
Spring 1, Week 1
This week in Science we began our new topic 'Forces'. We looked at the different forces which affect a falling object and used this to investigate how the surface area of an object affects the rate at which it falls. We kept all the variables the same, changing only one variable which was the surface area.
We discovered from the investigation that the smaller the surface area the faster it falls due to less air resistance acting on the object.
Autumn 2, Week 6
This week in science we have been learning all about the phases of the moon, we really enjoyed showing the phases of the moon 🌑 🌒 🌓 with our biscuits. We then drew the phases of the moon and named them.
