Hello again :)
Daily Learning Blog – Tuesday, 21st April
Good morning Year 5!
Welcome back to another day of learning. Here are your activities for today:
English
LO: Using similes and metaphors
- https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zkygrj6
- Follow the link above, watch the videos, and complete the activities in your home learning book.
- Remember:
- Similes use ‘like’ or ‘as’ to make a comparison
- Metaphors do not use ‘like' or ‘as’, but they still make a comparison - be sure to take note of the examples in the link.
- They are both examples of figurative language, and will help improve your independent writing greatly.
Maths:
LO: Adding and subtracting without written methods
- Today’s lesson is meant to help develop your ability to solve addition and subtractions without using a written method.
- A good way to solve these questions mentally is by partitioning the numbers in your head, as well as using rounding methods, which we discussed yesterday.
- Open the uploaded document, and solve the addition and subtraction problems mentally in your home learning book.
RE:
LO: The Easter Passion
- As it was just Easter, I would like you to re-write the story of the Easter Passion.
- Be sure that you write the events in the order they occurred, and to use religious vocabulary.
- Use this link to help you remember: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/easter/easterstory.aspx

Geography:
LO: Hamlets, Villages, Towns, and Cities

That’s it for today. See you tomorrow!

Fun fact of the day: If you ran a marathon (42.2km) everyday, it would take a little more than 2 and a half years to run around the planet (40,030km).
