Hello year 5,

It's Mr Hissey here. I hope you are well, here is your maths lesson for today. The lesson continues looking at tables, but today the tables are TWO-WAY tables, so are slightly more complicated. Here is the video lesson:

English Challenge - Tuesday 23rd June

Hi year 5,

It's Mr Hissey here again, as Miss Stavish and Mrs Rodgers are in class teaching over the next few weeks. I thought we'd try out a new set of lessons by Oak Academy this week. Each day there will be a quiz and then a video lesson.

Here is the first lesson based around an instructions reading comprehension lesson.

Lesson 1 - *Video*

All of the text and questions are on the video, but I will post it below if you want to print any of it out.
Firstly, here are some tips to help you answer today's questions.

Here is the instruction text:

 And here are the questions you need to answer:

Art Challenge 2

Hi year 5,

I hope you are well. We have another art challenge for you this week. This time we are going to try sketching what you can see out of a window in your home. I have found a demonstration lesson here for your to watch.

Texture and sketching

Activity: Sketch a scene from a window in your home. It could be a sketch or the back garden of the street in front of your house. You could sketch a large area or focus on one object. Here are some examples to help you decide:

And here are today's questions. Make sure you read and look closely at the tables BEFORE attempting the questions:

English Challenge - Monday 22nd June (Reading Comprehension)

Hi year 5,

It's Mr Hissey here setting your reading comprehension this week. We will be continuing to read The Boy at the Back of the Class. This week we will focus on Chapter 8.

If you are not to Chapter 8 yet, I would spend this week reading the book to catch up.

Chapters 1 to 10 of the book can be found here:

The Boy at the Back of the Class

Here is chapter 8 on its own to make it easier to read and answer the questions. Remember to WHISPER READ the text to yourself to check your reading fluency. This chapter is quite long so don't feel you have to read it all in one go. If you find yourself losing concentration, take a break and come back to the text later. REMEMBER to have as few distractions as possible when reading - make sure the TV and any games consoles are turned off.

Here are your reading comprehension questions for Chapter 8:


1. What does mum do every Sunday morning? P70
2. What question did the narrator want to ask their mum? P71
3. Find 3 country names mentioned on page 74.
4. What is a pomegranate? P77
5. Find two pieces of evidence that mum encourages the narrator to find things out for themselves. This could be something mum says or does.
6. On page 84 it says the narrator 'scrunched up their nose.' Think of a similar word to scrunched that would fit the sentence.
7. Using the text describe what a pomegranate looks like. P87

Spellings - Monday 22nd June

Good morning year 5,

Here are your spellings for the week. They focus on the ibly suffix ending.

Spelling challenge 1: Can you find the root word for each of the spellings? For example force is the root word of forcibly.


Spelling challenge 2: Can you create a pyramid pattern for each spelling. If you are not sure what pyramid spellings are they look like this:

Science Challenge - Forces 3

Good morning year 5,

I hope you are well. We will be continuing to look at Forces this week. Last time we looked at the force that pulls everything to the center of the earth - GRAVITY.

Today we will look at a force that can slow moving objects down when two surfaces come into contact with each other. This force is called FRICTION. Here are some videos to remind you about this concept:

Task:

Your task is to draw and write about 3 examples of where friction might occur in everyday life. Here my example:

If you are stuck for ideas you could sketch any of the following:

A car's tyres
A ball rolling along the ground
A child going down a slide
