Thursday 25th February

 

 

 

It’s Thursday!  Well done to all those children who are sending in their work and have been Doodling. Today we are going to continue to build upon our knowledge of the Vikings.  We are going to be introduced to Viking Longships  and begin to prepare for our Kenning Poem writing.

 

Here is how our day shapes up:

 

Maths 

  

Improper fractions

Guided Reading 

Reading comprehension:  Viking Longships.

 

English 

  

Generating synonyms for a Viking Kenning.

Science

Forces – What is a force?  Revisiting previous learning.

 

 

Maths

 

Today we are going to be focusing on improper fractions.  We have some knowledge of these through some earlier learning.  Watch Miss Faulkner demonstrate improper fractions and mixed numbers.  Once you have watched the video, please move onto completing the tasks below.  A challenge has also been added!

 

Video goes 'live' at 8.30am.

- YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

  • Viking Longships Comp (Hot).pdf
  • Viking Longships Comp (Mild).pdf
  • Viking Longships Comp (Spicy).pdf
  • VikingLongshipnewspaper with answers.pdf

 

 

English

 

Today you are going to be generating powerful adjectives to use in your Kenning.  Remember that you are going to be producing your own Kenning to go alongside the Viking artefact that you have been making.  Use the online thesaurus to record synonyms to a given word.

 

https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/scare?s=t

 

  • Kenningsynonyms.pdf

 

When you return back to school we shall be exploring the forces involved in making a Viking Longship move.  This will be important as we will want to design a ship that will move efficiently!  Today we are going to recap and consolidate our understanding of what forces are.

 

Watch to remind yourselves of what forces are:

 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zn77hyc/articles/zptckqt

What Is A Force

What Is A Forcehttp://www.novel-learning.com/An interesting video meant for primary / elementary school students.A force is a push or a pull. We can't see a ...

 

We are going to focus on pushes, pulls and twists.  You have three choices with how you approach your task:

 

a)  Take photographs around your house, demonstrating the different force that has been used to make an object move.  If you choose to do this activity, remember to animate/draw on arrows to show which force is being used.

 

b)  You may want to re-create the YouTube video/animation, with you as the presenter!  Again, it is important to demonstrate which force is being used.

 

c)  Complete the task below, showing which force is being used to make an object move.  Remember to label and to use arrows to demonstrate which force is being used.

  • Pushes and Pulls.pdf

 

Our day is complete, only 6 school days until we are all reunited again!

 

Time to switch off your devices and relax smiley

 

See you in the morning!

Wednesday 24th February 

  

Good morning Year 5! Well done for an excellent start to our new half term.  We have really enjoyed seeing all your excellent learning.  Today, we are going to continue to build upon our learning about the Vikings and consolidate our knowledge and understanding of adding fractions. 

  

This is how your learning looks today: 

  

Maths 

  

Adding and subtracting fractions.  

Guided Reading 

Viking Voyages – How archaeology has allowed us to find out about the Vikings. 

 

English 

  

Exploring Synonyms. 

PHSE 

  

Healthy Lifestyles – Making sensible choices.

Spanish 

Learning Spanish words clothes.

  

 

 

Maths

 

 

This morning, we are going to both add and subtract fractions with the same denominator.  Watch the Maths Antics link to remind yourself of how to add and subtract fractions that have the same denominator (sometimes described as ‘like’ fractions) Following on from this activity you may wish to move onto the greater depth activity.

Guided Reading

 

 

Today we would like you to continue researching the Vikings.  On Monday, Miss Faulkner set you a task to find out what the artefacts were that were sent to us by TRIC. Put your information retrieval, inference and deductions skills to the test.  Find out what archaeologists have found out about the Vikings through artefacts that have been excavated.  Please complete the ‘Viking Voyages’ task.

  • Comprehension Questions.pdf

 

 

English 

 

 

Later on in the week, you will be creating your own Kenning for your artefact that you have been working on this week.  To make sure that we create a Kenning that is truly stunning, we need to think about synonyms to add more quality to our work.  Watch the link to recap your understanding of synonyms.  When you have watched the link, please complete your Doodle task.

PSHE

 

This half term, we are going to be considering what it means to lead a healthy lifestyle.  Today, we are going to be considering the choices that we make - are they always the healthiest?  Read through and discuss the PowerPoint below.


Reflect upon your habits – are they always healthy?  Record on the habits sheet below, e.g. Do you have enough sleep? Remember to brush your teeth? Do you spend too much time in front of a screen, etc?

 

You may also wish to create your own ‘superhero’ poster for David, who appears in the PowerPoint. You can use/take ideas from the document below to create your hero – identifying the habits that are healthy and those that are not.

       With Mr Collett

 

This week we are going to be learning how to say the words for different types of clothes. Clothes = 'ropa' en Español.

There is lots of new vocabulary this week, but don't worry if you don't get to learn them all. Some of the clothes you might not wear that often anyway.

 

Watch this video and remember to listen and repeat the word after you hear it. We do this in class a lot so pause the video to get the practice in of repeating each word. Then you can look though the PowerPoint to see if you can remember the word for the item before looking at the answer on the next slide.

Spanish for Children Clothes & Accesories | Learn Spanish

Spanish video for children. Today we are going to learn more vocabulary in spanish, clothes and accesories. How to speak spanish? in this videos you ́ll find ...


 

Finally, as you are studying Vikings, I thought maybe you could draw a picture of one and label the clothing they are wearing BUT IN SPANISH! I haven't included the words for helmet, sword or shield in here because we don't really wear them that often these days!

 

Alternatively, you could draw a picture of yourself and label the clothes you are wearing in it - you might find there are a few more from the video you could use. If you are feeling super confident you may want to introduce what colour the item of clothing is too. In Spanish though, the colour comes AFTER the item

 

English: the white shirt

Spanish: la camisa blanca

 

Blanca/blanco is the Spanish for 'white' but notice it comes after the noun. So it looks like they are saying 'the shirt white'.

 

This video is challenging but also helps explain it well. The girls in it are fluent in Spanish and speak fantastically well.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/spanish-ks2-shopping-for-clothes/zkd9wty

 

If you have completed all that, have a go at the Spanish clothes wordsearch too. This is quite tough but if you send in as many as you can find, the winners can have 2 Spanish merits. Solutions published later. You have until next week to get your answers in.

 

Buen trabajo!

In English today, we are going to explore a form of poetry that originated from the Old Norse word ‘kenna eitt við’, which means ‘to express a thing in terms of another’.  You will create your own kennings.  Read through the following PowerPoint:

We would like you to create your own kenning now - choosing from at least 3 of these words:

 

Good Afternoon Year 5!

 

This afternoon you will:

 

*  Finish your Viking artefact.

*  Find out where the Vikings came from.

*  Place the Vikings into the correct chronological order.

 

 

Watch the first clip from BBC Bitesize link.  It explains clearly where the Vikings travelled from.  Once you have watched the video clip, complete the map to show where the Vikings travelled from and to.  Remember to use a key!

This YouTube clip sets the scene for the Viking invasion :

Viking invaders and settlers | History - The Vikings

Suitable for teaching 7-11s. Archaeologist Neil Oliver visits Lindisfarne, Repton and York to trace the Viking invasion and settlement in Anglo Saxon England...

 

 

It is important to know where we place the Viking invasion in time.  Do we place the Vikings before or after the Celts?   Using the timeline PowerPoint, create your own timeline.

Making a Viking Artefact

 

 

Once you have investigated and researched the artefacts that were sent from TRIC, you can begin to think about making your own Viking artefact!  You may wish to make a Viking helmet, shield, sword, or even an axe! You do not need to finish your artefact today, you can finish it off tomorrow afternoon.

 

We have attached some documents to help you choose which artefact you might like to make. You may wish do carry out some more research independently.

  • Please do not enter and leave the meeting. We love to see you all – once you have been admitted to the meeting we’d like to see you right up until the end!

 

  • Please don’t use profile pictures/screen savers to replace your gorgeous faces! We are having Zoom meetings so that we can see and interact with each other! It also looks as if you are not participating and engaging in the meeting.
