Oak Academy Guidance:

To navigate your way through the Oak academy lessons, click on the Next Activity button at the bottom right hand side of the screen.  Often this will lead to an introductory quiz which is just a starting off point to see how much you already know and to give you a clue to what you will learn about in the lesson.  You will need to close the quiz before you can move on.  Click Next Activity to start the lesson video.  You can pause the video when directed and return to this video at any point if you need to refresh what you learnt.  Sometimes, additional worksheets or knowledge organisers are also available so click through to Next Activity to see if any are available for your task. 

 

Each week please try to complete the English and maths tasks, including activities set for reading and times tables.  The other activities are optional but we would hope that you would like to give them a try too!  We appreciate working from home is tricky so just do your best.

It may help you to number your answers for the structural or grammatical features. When you have finished, go back to the video to check your answers and then have a go at the exit quiz.

Optional additional task: Have fun building some crazy expanded noun phrases to describe the aliens on the 'Building Noun Phrases' worksheet listed below.

Lesson 5: Character Description: Writing a character description

Complete the introductory quiz and then listen carefully to the input in the video. Today, you will be writing your own character description. Use the WAGOLL, the sentences you drafted in lesson 4 and the sentence starters to help you with your structure. When you close the video, there are slides with extra scaffolds on to help you. When you have finished, edit your writing carefully. Teachers would love you to ask your adult to send these to year group emails. Please do not upload any of your work online to any social media sites.

Optional additional task: Draw a picture of the character you have described in an action scene.  Where would they be? Who are they likely to be with? What are they most likely to be doing?

 

Please follow the correct links as given on the left (click on the lesson title). These lessons will build up skills throughout the unit and you will produce a final written piece in lesson 5.

Maths

NOTE: this week's learning is recapping on objectives already taught in class.

 

Each day’s learning can be found here:

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-5/

 

Lesson 1 – decimals as fractions

Watch the video and then have a go at the worksheet. Check your answers.

Optional additional task: complete the Ultimate fractions, decimals and percentages challenge ( worksheet listed below).

 

Lesson 2 – understanding thousandths

You may want to print and use the place value counters (tens, ones and tenths) or make your own.

For question 2a on the worksheet, draw images of the base 10 for your representations.

Optional additional task: complete the Understanding Thousandths work sheet listed below.  With a partner, take it in turn to put a 3 digit number into to a calculator. See if you can change this to a number containing thousandths by diving by powers of ten.

 

Lesson 3 – rounding decimals

You can print the blank number line sheet to work on during the lesson and to help you on the second page of the worksheet.

For the final part of questions 1 and 2 on the worksheet, write your explanation down instead.

Optional additional task: Play the Rounding Decimals game set out on the worksheet below.  Fancy more of a challenge? Create your own decimals board to play with decimals up to thousandths - think about how you would need to adapt the rules.

 

Lesson 4 – order and compare decimals

The place value counters will help today.

For question 6b on the worksheet, it means the total distance she could jump to the nearest hundredth of a metre.

Optional additional task: Play a 'snap' game using the decimal cards; the largest value wins.  Or you could even have a family game of 'Play your cards right' but who will be Brucie? (not sure who Bruice is? Check with mums and dads!)

 

Lesson 5 is the Family Challenge. The activity is on the same page as the learning videos, or you can find it on the BBC Bitesize Year 5 page. The most suitable questions for Year 5 are 1 to 5 but why not try the others with someone at home!

 

Challenge of the week: Round the dice decimals

 

https://nrich.maths.org/14600

 

We are working on Week 7 – wc 8th June

 

This block of learning focuses upon decimals.

 

You can either print the worksheets or just write the answers in your exercise book. Remember that questions marked with a thought bubble are supposed to be a bit more of a challenge.

 

There are more resources available each day on the BBC Bitesize Year 5 page.

Science

Key Question: How is metamorphic rock formed?

In this lesson, you will be finding out how metamorphic rocks are formed.  You will identify are the common properties of metamorphic and how these link to their uses.

 

Before you start the lesson, talk about: 

  • What different types of rock do you know?
  • What do think are common properties of rocks?
  • Do all rocks share the same properties?

 

Click here to start your lesson.

 

  • Have a go at completing the Introductory Quiz – don’t worry of you get something wrong!
  • Watch the video – pause when asked and complete the tasks set out the worksheet or on paper. During the video, Miss Simkin carries out a demonstration to show how pressure can change a rock. If you wish to carry this out at home, you will need some small pieces of paper soaked in coloured water.
  • Exit quiz – repeat questions from introductory quiz.  Well done.
  • Optional extension task – Go on a rock hunt!  Have a look around your home and see if you can spot any metamorphic rocks (hint: you may find some in your bathroom or kitchen as metamorphic rocks are very water resistant and hard wearing – why could this make them useful?)

Resources: pencil, worksheet, ruler, coloured pencil

The worksheet provides a guide through each lesson’s task.  If you do not wish to print it out, tasks can be completed on paper or in a notebook.

You will need a pen or pencil and your exercise book to complete this lesson. Pause the lesson when the teachers tell you to and start it again when you have completed the task.

 

PE

Jo Wicks Daily PE Lesson

Cosmic Kids Yoga

Just Dance

GoNoodle

 

There are a lot of PE activities available that you can do depending on the space or resources available. Here are some suggestions.

 

Art

Make a funky fish to put in your window.

Draw the outline of a fish. Collect lots of brightly coloured paper from magazines, junk mail, newspaper and packaging. Cut into different shapes to decorate your fish.  Glue them in place like scales and draw or stick on an eye. Try not to leave any gaps in your design.  (If you don’t have glue, make a mixture ½ cup of flour and ½ cup water and mix together. Add more water if it is too thick). Can you also decorate the background? What words can you find to add to your design?

Topic

Who were the Vikings?

Open the PowerPoint and print the worksheet in the resources below (or you can write it out in your books).

In this lesson, you will find out about where the Vikings came from and why they wanted to come to Britain.  You will also consider what it must have felt like to be invaded. Stop when directed on the PowerPoint to complete each part of the worksheet.

 

Optional additional task:

Write a short diary extract imagining you are an Anglo-Saxon.  Perhaps you are a monk trying to protect the monasteries or a farmer trying to save his land.  Remember, a diary focuses on not only the sequence of events but also the writer’s feelings and viewpoint about what has happened.
