Year 5 Maths
Click on the link above to practice your multiplication skills with Mrs H.
Your learning today is about volume. This will involve reading scales to measure volume. As usual there is a short quiz first and then the video lesson. Remember you can pause the video whenever you like, or skip it back in case you need something repeating.

Year 6 Maths
Oh no! Mr Lindsay and Miss Greaves are stuck in the school. They can’t remember the passcode to the door. Watch their video and help them escape.
Email Mr Lindsay with your answers.
Year 5/6 Reading
This week, we are going to focus on jobs and money. For today’s task, complete the jobs worksheet – this will help you develop ideas that you can use later on in the week. Here are some questions to help you.
Although this task will significantly help you later in the week, it is not particularly a reading task! On top of this, I would like you to research and read about your dream job. Create a list of requirements you would need for this job, along with some reasons as to why you think people might want to do it as a career choice.
Year 5/6 Topic
In this lesson you will learn what goes into making a good computer game and try making your own simple game.
Complete this BBC Bitesize lesson.

Hello children.
Tomorrow is VE day. We have some activities planned for you tomorrow, and all your learning will be linked to the VE day celebrations in some way. You may have some ideas for celebrating this day at home already. Please let us know what you will be doing, or send your teacher a photo of what you did.
Keeping active: What is your super move of the day?
Here is your learning:
Maths Y3 and Y4
As tomorrow’s tasks will be slightly different due to the bank holiday, we’ll have our challenges day today instead. Here’s a link to another four problems from BBC Bitesize.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zd3q2sg
How many of them will you conquer? Answers are on the link too but suggested workings out will be posted tomorrow. Here are some things to remember when approaching each challenge. Given the content, Challenge 4 might be more accessible to Year 4 than Year 3.
Top Tips – Challenge 1:
Read the text carefully to avoid falling into traps. Think about what ‘half’ means and for the second part in particular, think about ‘half’ isn’t.
Top Tips – Challenge 2
Take time to understand the information that has been given. Bar modelling would help with this.
Top Tips – Challenge 3:
This is quite a long problem. Breaking it down into smaller chunks and showing your working will help you to avoid mistakes.
Top Tips – Challenge 4:
You are asked to find two ways but can you find all solutions? Think about how you might approach this systematically (in order). It’s useful to remember that 1000ml = 1l .

Year 5,6 Quiz of the Week!
This week, we’ve decided to end the week with a little bit of fun. So, we’ve made a video quiz of the week. Check it out here.
It’s a mix of general knowledge, a recap of some previous learning and a bit of fun! We’re hoping you’ll play along as a family, or maybe against other families and will enjoy 10 mins of trivia and silliness.
If you like it, get in touch and we’ll do a weekly edition published every Friday.
Enjoy!
Hello Year 5/6 S
Hello.
Well we are nearing the end of another week in lockdown. I thought I’d see how you are all getting on? I hope you are all still working hard on your home learning, but also remembering to spend some time in the fresh air (and rain) as this is very important. There are still some people that I haven’t heard from yet, so please send me an email to let me know what you’ve been up to. Thanks to all those people who keep in regular contact- I love getting your emails.
Keep in touch and let me know what yummy things you’ve eaten recently and how you’re all keeping yourselves entertained.

Thank you to Lleyton for sending his writing to me this morning. I’m really impressed with the effort that you’ve put in. You have used a range of sentence starters and your vocabulary is good – well done.
