20 May 2020: Home Learning
Hello again
Did you complete yesterday’s special mission? Did you connect with someone outside your home? If not, do it today!
In addition to your home learning, don’t forget that one of the most important things you could be doing at home is reading regularly; ideally, every day. If you’re looking for a book, I would recommend ‘The Boy at the Back of the Class‘.
Here’s your home learning for today – enjoy!
Y5 Maths

Your learning today is converting between units of length.

Today your task is simply just to read for pleasure.
This may be a book that you are enjoying, a magazine, a newspaper, or perhaps something online about something you find interesting. I am currently reading online about creating NHS PPE face masks, which I am finding extremely interesting!

Hi children,
Fancy a quick iMoves dance? This is the Power of Yet
Thanks for those of you who have already emailed in your achievements and work this week.
Why not set yourself a challenge today? Maybe to complete the book you have started reading, see how many skips you can do, learn those tricky times tables facts…. There are lots of things that you could do. Setting yourself a challenge will help to keep you motivated and your mind happy.
Keep up with the fabulous work children and keep smiling. We are so very proud of you!

Hi everyone
We hope you’re all happy and healthy. It’s been great to hear from so many of you about what you’re up to – don’t forget to keep in touch.
With that in mind, I’ve got a special mission for you today. I’d like you to make sure you speak to one person from outside of your house on the phone; this could be a friend, a family member, a neighbour, etc! I’m definitely finding that when I stay connected to my family and friends I feel much happier. I wonder if you’ll feel the same? Let me know.
Before we get in to our daily home learning tasks, here’s some spellings for you to learn:
accumulating managing surprising calculating
acquiring analysing deciding debating

Topic – Royal competition
The Duchess Of Cambridge and the National Portrait Gallery have launched a project to find a photographic portrait, taken during these extraordinary times, which responds to one of the following themes:
- Helpers and Heroes
- Your New Normal
- Acts of Kindness
One hundred shortlisted portraits will feature in a virtual exhibition on the Gallery’s website and a selection of images will also be shown across the UK later in the year.
The project is completely free and open to all ages and abilities. Images must involve people, and can be captured on phones or cameras. Each image will be assessed on the emotion and experience it conveys rather than its photographic quality or technical expertise. The closing date for submissions is the 18 June 2020.
