This week’s RE

You will have noticed this year that we have been focusing our attention on important people in three major religions, Sikhism, Christianity and Islam.

This week, I would like you to research the 10 Sikh Gurus who were considered highly wise leaders before finally, Sikh teachings were written down in the Guru Granth Sahib.

https://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Ten_Sikh_Gurus

Use this link to read about the major acts of each of the Gurus, then I would like you to create something to help you remember what they did. You may want to create a piece of art or poetry. Maybe you will make them and their great deeds out of plasticine. Perhaps you will make a PowerPoint. It is your choice how you present your findings! Remember that you can always use the PurpleMash tools to complete work and then you can email it to your teacher! Enjoy!

Wednesday Maths

Good Morning Timelords!

I hope that you are feeling more comfortable about telling the time now.

As a quick warm up, play this short game. See if you can work out what the digital time would be on a 24 hour clock (add 12 hours) https://www.primarygames.com/time/question3.htm

 

Next: Make a list of important things that you do each day such as wake up, have breakfast, brush teeth etc.. https://www.visnos.com/demos/clock

Use the clock to make the times and then write down what the time is on the 12 hour or 24 hour digital clock in the top right. Remember that things you do in the afternoon will be 12+ hours. For example, if I schedule a zoom call for quarter to five in the evening, that will be 16:45 in the 24 hour clock or 4:45pm on the 12 hour digital clock.

Extension: Write down how long it took to do each task in an appropriate unit of time, e.g. seconds, minutes or hours.

Feel Good Friday

Hello Year 5!
This week for Feel Good Friday, I thought I would share with you my ‘grandma’ secret. Over the last few weeks, to help me relax when I have finished reading your wonderful work and replying to your emails, I have returned to my old hobby of knitting. It also keeps me busy and stops me eating so much! I practised first by making a couple of love hearts, then made a couple of cuddly toys and am now in the middle of a cardigan/jacket – but that’s not finished yet, so you can’t see it. I hope you’re all remembering to relax and have fun after working hard all day. Have a great weekend.
Mrs. Clarke

School update

Dear Parents/Carers,

I understand that you must have so many questions and indeed worries about the news that the Prime Minister announced this week concerning schools. This is a very useful document to read and I hope you find it informative.

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/closure-of-educational-settings-information-for-parents-and-carers/reopening-schools-and-other-educational-settings-from-1-june

We are currently working very hard on our plan around re opening and hope to share that with you very shortly. If you have children in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 or Year 6 then please do fill in the form that was sent out this morning to give us an indication as to whether you plan to send your child/children into school or not following half term.

Kind regards

Miss Cook

Citizenship Themed Week – W.B 11.05.20

Last week, we enjoyed looking at all of the fantastic work which had been produced based on our Geography themed week.

This week, we’d like children to complete activities which promote being a good citizen.

Here are some ideas: Home Schooling Citizenship Theme Week

As always, please post work/photos onto your child’s homework blog.

 

 

Friday Maths

It’s Feel Good Friday!

Here are some investigations for you to try linked to our learning.

The others will be attached below. One of them asks for the answer in “cubic centimetres.” This is a measure of volume which is indicated by a small 3 next to the unit. E.g. 53cm³

Friday volume

Friday containers

 

Extension challenge: My car has the capacity for 60 litres of petrol. At the moment, petrol costs £1.06 per litre.

  • How much would it cost me to fill up my car from the following?
    • Empty
    • 10% full
    • Half full

 

My car can get 8.4 miles per litre. How far could I drive on a full tank? Could I make it to Scotland?

VE Day Junk Modelling Challenge

As it is VE Day tomorrow, you may like to take part in a JUNK MODELLING CHALLENGE that has been launched by the museum at RAF Cosford. The challenge is to build your very own aircraft, using whatever you can find around your home! In school, pupils from Nursery to Year 6 love junk modelling so I am sure many children would love to have a go at this at home – it would even be a nice project for siblings, or whole families, to work on together! 🛫🛫

The competition deadline is Thursday 14th May. To enter your aircraft, all you need to do is post a photo of your creation in the comments on the competition post, which can be found at ‘The Royal Air Force Museum, Cosford‘ Facebook page. Alternatively, you can share your photo using the tag ‘@rafmuseum‘ on Facebook.

Good Luck!! ☘

Thursday Maths

Good morning!

To warm up, I’d like you to watch this video and write a little reflection to your teacher about it. https://nrich.maths.org/13664

Your reflection should include the key vocabulary of “volume” and “capacity”

 

Next, I would like you to choose a collection of containers from the kitchen, you may want different glasses, mugs, pans, bowls etc. https://nrich.maths.org/10337

You could even work out the capacity in millilitres of each of the containers. It would be great to see your photos and reflections on the blog!
