Daily Home Learning Blog – Tuesday, 14^th July

Good morning Year 5

I was so nice to see so many of you yesterday! I hope you enjoyed seeing everyone and having a quick chat. Here are your learning activities for today.

English

LO: Plans for the summer holidays

• As this is the last week before summer holidays, I want you to write a few paragraphs about this things you hope to do his summer.  As lockdown restrictions are starting to ease, hopefully we are going to be able to have somewhat of a normal summer. Some ideas you might want to consider are:
  • Family events
  • Bike rides, days at the park, or nature walks
  • Hobbies or skills you want to learn
  • Trips to the seaside or other scenic areas
  • Birthdays, zoom parties, or facetiming with friends and family
• Try to write 2 medium-sized paragraphs.

Maths

LO: Problem solving and reasoning

• I have attached a problem-solving and reasoning assessment at the bottom of the class blog.
• As you’re aware, the problem solving and reasoning questions are usually quite a bit harder than normal arithmetic questions.
• Have a go, and try to solve as many as you can. Be sure to use your knowledge from the entire year to solve them!

Drama

LO: Understanding different story genres

• https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zwv796f
• Watch the videos before completing activity 2 in your home learning book.
• Be sure to change the genres of the cover so it represents a different genre than what the play normally is.

Poetry

LO: Writing a haiku

• A haiku is a poem that doesn’t rhyme, but instead has 3 lines, with the syllables following a particular pattern: 5-7-5
  • First line: 5 syllables
  • Second line: 7 syllables
  • Third line: 5 syllables
• For example:
  • Summer holidays
  • Long summer days and warm nights
  • How I love the sun

That’s all for today! Come again tomorrow!
