Happy Monday Everybody!
It was great to see all your furry blog posts this weekend! I hope you were all able to make the most of the weather and get outside; you will probably have started to notice the season changing from the lush greenery of Spring to the more muted Summer tones.
I’ll be seeing some of you in the Year 5 key-worker hub, but if you are still learning from home, remember to do a little bit everyday!
Literacy: This week’s literacy tasks are all on one document so it should be easier for you. There are a range of tasks to choose from each day, with extensions to try out throughout the week. I’m really looking forward to seeing your extended creative writing this week.
15th June Y5 Literacy PDF
SPaG: This week’s focus is super punctuation. https://www.topmarks.co.uk/english-games/7-11-years/punctuation Use these games for 10 minutes or so everyday to refresh your memory of how different pieces of punctuation may be used.
Guided Reading: This will be set as 2Dos alongside spelling on PurpleMash
Maths:
Monday – The Sieve of Eratosthenes – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBbHzy7v2Kg Watch this video to see how the sieve works. Then use the colour function for the grid (below) to get rid of all the multiples of 2, 3, 4 etc. This should leave you with all the prime numbers up to 100. How many are there? What is the sum of all the prime numbers below 100? https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/71/itp-number-grid
Tuesday – Multiplication refresher – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9_goDnS8Wg Recap the method of long multiplication before tackling 4 digit by 2 digit multiplication. Extension: Define the words factor and multiple.

Wednesday – Start off with 5-10 minutes on TTRS to get your multiplication skills warmed up. Then have a crack at these questions. Put a timer on for 20 minutes and see how many you can complete. Check your answers at the end and see if you can identify where you made any errors.

Friday – Warm up your division skills https://www.arcademics.com/games/demolition. Think carefully about the bar model questions. If the bar is split into 6 then your divisor will be 6. The divisor is the number you divide by (to the left of the bus stop).

Extension: https://nrich.maths.org/10490 You could create your own numbers to divide and try to find a pattern when dividing by a set divisor.
Topic: I’d like you to create a river from source to mouth like this example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WieDc7Ymais. You could draw it or create it using craft skills. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsXKv1yfNFk This video helps show you some of the features of the river. You could use the sheet below to label the features of a river, but creating it yourself will help the information stick in your head!

Music: This week, I’d like you to create a concert poster for one of these musicians: Elvis Presley, Mozart, Beyoncé, Bob Marley or Daft Punk. You will need to find out what they look like, which songs or pieces of music they are famous for, which genre they belong to (type of music). You may want to think carefully about the style of poster depending on the genre of music. You could choose an appropriate venue for their music type too! Listen to a few songs by each before choosing so you can get to grips with their individual styles! Alternatively, ask your parents or grandparents to play you their favourite pieces of music and choose one of the artists they suggest!
Science: Continue to make your inventory of the natural world around you. There are a few really good apps which you could download (with permission) to help you identify plants, such as Leafsnap.
DT: This week’s theme is DT so keep your eyes peeled for loads of activities to try out throughout the week!
