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.
Mrs H.x

23 April 2020: Hall of (home learning) Fame
Hello and welcome back to another edition of…(insert drum roll)…Hall of (home learning) Fame! #HoHLF
I’m now imagining everyone is at home chanting “HOHLF, HOHLF, HOHLF” out of sheer excitement – are you? Nope? Ok, just me. Anyway…
These superstars have really got back in to the swing of their home learning and have sent some images for us to celebrate:
Our first entrant has been super busy. She got creative…
Had a birthday…
Made a disgusting Kale and sock soup (disclaimer: She didn’t actually make a soup using these ingredients. It was a treasure hunt.)
And, wrote an awesome set of instructions.
Well done – you’re in the Hall of Home Learning Fame #HoHLF
“HOHLF, HOHLF, HOHLF!” Still just me? Really? Ok, moving on.
Our next entrant has also been busy.
He thought…really hard.
He retrieved facts from a text and visualised the setting.
And, prepare to be amazed, he learnt how to lay bricks. That’s right folks. You heard it! This superstar took a break from learning to build a porch.
Great work. You’re in the Hall of (home learning) Fame! “HOHLF, HOHLF, HOHLF!” Go on, you know you want to…
Our third superstar took time off from celebrating her birthday (Happy Birthday, Bo!) to keep going with her learning. True commitment!
Well done, Bo! You’re in the Hall of (home learning) Fame. “HOHLF, HOHLF, HOHLF!” Really guys? Help me out here. I’m only trying to lighten the mood – get involved in the chanting!
Alfie, our next entrant, wrote a set of instructions about creating a cloud – didn’t even know you coul do that but I’m going to try as soon as I get home!
Well done – you’re in the Hall of (home learning) Fame. “HOHLF, HOHLF, HOHLF!” Yay! Finally, one person joined in. Everyone else will surely follow now.
Our final entrant also wrote a set of instructions.
Well done, Emma – you’re in the Hall of (home learning) Fame. “HOHLF, HOHLF, HOHLF!” Yes – everyone’s doing it! The village of Scholes and surrounding areas are deafened by the loud chanting. Join in if you haven’t already…”HOHLF, HOHLF, HOHLF!”
That’s all for this edition. Stay tuned for more.
Send photos to your class teacher’s email address accompanied by #HoHLF. Terms and conditions apply*.
If you want a challenge, I wrote this article with a clear idea in my head about my audience (who I’m aiming it at) and purpose. What was the purpose of this article? Did it work? How did my audience affect the style I wrote it? Would I write the same if this was a more srious article? Or, aimed at people I didn’t know?
*Terms and conditions: you must send a picture to be entered into the Hall of (home learning) Fame. Winners will be posted on this section of the website and will receive their prize as soon as they read it. The prize is a virtual high five from the Year 5,6 team.

Hey everyone
I hope you’re all well and have managed to settle back into the ‘school’ routine. If you haven’t already, check out my top tips video for thriving over the coming weeks on our class news page. Speaking of class news, have you been checking it much? Your class teacher may have posted some images of other people learning, or even a little message to stay connected.
Here’s your home learning for today…
Year 5 maths task

Shape 2- 75m²
Shape 3- 68cm²
Starter
Create your own 6-digit column addition sums and answer them.

Year 6 maths task
Answers from yesterday:
Answers Working backwards (Use the inverse)
Your learning today is to multiply whole numbers and decimals
Before the holidays, we set a Route product task then challenged you to design one of your own. Lucy rose to the challenge and sent us her puzzle. Today’s task is to solve Lucy’s puzzle.
Challenge
Lucy left two of the lines without values. Choose your own numbers to go here and calculate 5 more route products.
Year 5/6 reading task
Your learning today is all about the writer’s choice of language and the specific vocabulary they use.
First, reread the text we’ve been reading this week. Then, answer the questions. But! There’s a twist! Once you’ve worked out the answer to each question, you must then find it in the word search on the page underneath!
Challenge
Choose a synonym that the writer could have used for each question. Even better if you discuss your reasons why with someone at home or prepare your own reasons and write them in your home learning book.
Year 5/6 writing task
Here is the opening to a story.
She pulled down on the chain with her left hand, steering herself towards her target. It was supposed to be the most exciting birthday present ever; a hot air balloon ride. However, Alice had been hanging on for dear life for over 100KM (since the basket of the hot air balloon had fallen off). She was now getting used to steering the huge balloon by manoeuvring her body, leaning to the left or to the right.
Terrified yet excited at the same time, Alice could just about make out her house and garden far below. It was the one surrounded by trees straight ahead, wasn’t it?
She took a deep breath and focused…
Continue the story about Alice and the hot air balloon. Will she reach the ground safely? Is that really her house? Will she land in the right garden?
