Year 5 2019-2020

Week Beginning Monday 13th July

Hello Year Five,

We have put the work for this week below. It has been wonderful teaching you this year, even if we have been cut short due to the current situation. We hope you have enjoyed some of the lessons we have put on this page and please keep learning through the holidays. The Summer reading challenge is available online and you can find it here https://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk/. Please try your best to keep reading over the holidays and don't forget to bring in any certificates you might earn. Congratulations to our prefects and head boys and girls. If you missed the announcement, please see the school Facebook page for all the names. 

Stay safe and well,

 

The Year Five Team.

Maths - Finding Prime Factors

Still image for this video
Can you find prime factors of a number. Please look at the worksheet and see if you can use a factor tree. There's also a list of prime numbers on there to refer to.

English - Grammar and Punctuation Tests

Can you remember all your Year Five grammar ready to start Year Six? Try these two tests - answers are at the end.

Science - Classifying Animals

This is a type of branching database we would like you to make for different types of animals. Look at the example sheet with the aliens to see if you can find all the names. Then use this same concept to make your own database for real animals. You can use the blank copy or you can draw the database yourself. Unusual animals should be included where possible - you could use the internet to research animals your teachers haven't heard of.

Week Beginning Monday 6th July

Hello Year Five,

We are disappointed we haven't seen many of you in such a long time. Keep staying positive and keep working hard at home. It has been wonderful to see so many of you taking part in the recent sports tasks. You can see all the pictures and videos of this on the school Facebook page. Please find your school work for this week below. Please keep watching the news section for all the latest.

Best wishes,

 

The Year Five Team.

DT - Levers and Linkages, Pull String Puppets

Still image for this video
Every year we challenge our Year Five to make their own version of our pull string puppet, Mr Pineapple. Can you make your own mechanism to make his arms move? Please send your pictures of your puppets in so we can see them.

Maths - Factors

Can you remember how to find the factors of a number? Find the factors of the numbers on these sheets. Remember it is easier if you have a system. Start with 1 at one side of the page, and the number at the other, then test every times table (in order) until you meet at the middle. Make sure you don't confuse factors with prime factors (you shouldn't be using a factor tree).

English - Letter to your new teacher

You will be moving up to Year Six soon and you should now know who your teacher is. Can you write them a letter, tell them all about yourself and your hopes for the future? If you need a nice piece of letter paper we have attached one above. But remember, Year Six will expect that you can recall and use as much of the grammar and punctuation you have learned this year as possible. If you send them in, we will deliver them to the teachers for you.

Week Beginning 29th June

Hello everybody,

It is nice to be working to more of a routine than we have been. But we are in different classes and it is unusual working with different people when we really want everything back to normal. For those of you that haven't started back at school yet, we are thinking of you and hope to see you soon. Please keep watching the school website for any updates about school reopening.

 

Stay safe and stay positive,

 

The Year Five Team.

English - Transition to Year Six Work

Building on what we have learned this year, this booklet has lots of English work that you should be familiar with. You will need it all for your upcoming Year Six English lessons.

Science - Pollination

You have already learned about the life cycles of animals. Now we need to compare them with the life cycles of a plant. Do you know how a plant reproduces? Look through the slides and see if you can answer the questions on the sheets.

Week Beginning Monday 21st June

We are still missing you all. We hope you are continuing learning as best you can at home. We hope you are also remembering to keep reading at home. Have you read your two school library books yet? Reading can be really good fun when you have less to do. Please keep watching the news section for all the latest regarding school reopenings and remember to follow BBC Bitesize for more daily lessons.

English - Summer Workbook

There's lots of English work in this pack. Please don't feel you have to do it all (unless you want to). You will find all the answers in the second pack.

Science - David Attenborough

Maths - Multiplication and Division

This is a booklet with loads of Year Five multiplication and division activities. You don't need to do it all. If you don't understand parts there are lots of explanations for everything here online.

Science - Life Cycles

If we were at school we would be learning about the differences between animal and human life cycles. Please click here to learn all about animal life cycles. We would like you to choose any mammal, amphibian, insect and a bird and see if you can fill in the life cycle sheet once for each of them (that means you need to print the sheet out four times). Your mammal can be a person if you want it to be. You may not need to fill in every box for every animal.

Week Beginning Monday 8th June

Hello again everybody. We hope you are still hanging in there and staying as positive as possible. Please keep looking at the news section of the website for the latest about any possible school openings. We will keep updating this as soon as we know.

Have a look at the video below and see if you can cut a carrot, a potato and an onion. There is a recipe for carrot soup below. See if you can learn how to cook for your family over the coming weeks.
YOU MUST MAKE SURE THAT THE ADULT IN YOUR HOUSE KNOWS YOU ARE USING COOKING EQUIPMENT AND IS WATCHING YOU AS YOU USE IT.

Carrot Soup Recipe

Here is the recipe card that tells you what to do with your vegetables once you have chopped them. I made it yesterday and it was very nice (Mr Howarth).

Maths Activity - Make an alien mask using coordinates

On squared paper (if you don't have some you could make some with a ruler) you have to follow the instructions to make an alien mask. Email pictures to school of you wearing your mask and we may post them on this page next week.

English Activity - Make your own comic book.

Could you make your own comic book? You have a template here (but if you want to make your own that's fine too). Your comic book could be about life in lockdown or you could pick another subject. If you email or post them to school we will put some on this page next week.

Mr Howarth and Mr McCann would like to read you a story.

ENGLISH AND P.E. ACTIVITY FROM FTFC

 

We would like you to take part in an event that our very own Coach Mike and his leaders are organising.

 

They would like us to write a letter to a future generation person or even their older selves talking about what it was like to be a child during the lock down times. They might write about the new skills they have learnt to do (cooking, learning to ride a bike, exercising more etc) they could talk about their daily routines and what they have been up to, they could write about learning from this experience and learning not to take things for granted. They could also include what was on the tv, what the government asked us to do and maybe finish with some advice on how to cope with the situation. 

 

When the children have finished their letters they can be sent in to ...

 

Ashley.moreau@fleetwoodtownfc.com

 

where there is a chance that some of the players at FTFC might read out your letters.  

 

Also the exciting news is that we have decided to go ahead with a back garden / or empty space sports day which will take place on Friday 22nd May. If you would like to take part, all you have to do is email Mr Clarke at roy2285@live.co.uk to confirm your entry. At a later date you will receive a sports pack via email telling you what to do on the Friday 22nd May. After that, it is over to you guys to send in your photos and videos on that day. All will be explained in the pack fully. For now, I just need to know if you are taking part? 

Week Beginning Monday 4th May

Hello everyone. Have a look below to find more work you can have a go at this week. We hope you are staying positive and are keeping safe.

 

Best wishes,

 

The Year 5 Team.

Where would you rather be if you could be somewhere else. Please write a postcard from the place you would most like to be right now. It can be real or fictional. It should include a picture and some writing (just like a real postcard). You could post it to the school (see the contact tab for the address).
