Good morning year 5.
We hope you are all excited about the snow day and have plans to go outside and safely enjoy the snow!
We would love for you to build a snowman, snow pet or anything your imagination can dream up! Take a picture and email it to our year 5 email address (newdale.year5team@taw.org.uk) as we’d love to see them!
Remember to go for a walk in the snow and have hot chocolate (if you can) and make those Snow Day memories.
For indoor learning
Maths we ask for you to please spend some time on Times Tables Rock Stars, to increase your speed and recall. Complete a few sound checks and prepare for to new weekly times table challenge we shall start next week! All we be revealed on Wednesday :)
Friday’s are usually our arithmetic days so please complete these questions on paper – remember to show your workings and show off your skills to your adults (they will be shocked at the calculations you are able to complete).

As a part of our Literacy we have been looking at persuasive writing techniques, posters and leaflets. Our task has been linked to advertising the shops in Diagon Alley (Harry Potter) and trying to persuade people to shop there.
Can you produce a poster or a leaflet advertising Diagon Alley or one of the shops there?
Shops:
Madam Malkin’s Robes Gringotts Bank Flourish and Blotts
Ollivanders Wand Shop Eeylops Owl Emporium Apothecary
Quality Quidditch Supplies
Persuasive techniques:
Bold writing bullet points alliteration similes
Pictures emotive language facts opinions statistics
Rhetorical questions modal verbs personal address
You could do this on the computer or on paper. Remember, we would love to see it, so email it in, if completed online or bring it to school with you next week.
Spellings
As we were unable to hand out the homework for the spelling words, we will provide them here for you.
You could practise writing them over and over, pyramid writing, or create a colourful collage of all the words. We will still have our usual Friday spelling test on these next week.
