Year 5 Home Learning Monday 11^th January 2021

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and enjoyed time with your families. A big well done and thank you to everyone at home who is supporting you with your Home Learning. Together, let’s be positive, try our best and look forward to returning to school when it is safe.

Remember there are lots of other learning links on our school website that might interest you if you want to do further learning. Click on the Home Learning button just under the photograph of our class on the Year 5 class page. The BBC are showing educational programmes on CBBC starting at 9.00 today (Monday 11^th Jan). Have a look and see if there is anything for you to watch. I’m very interested to see what they show!

I have included a timetable as a guide so you know what subjects to expect each day (there might be changes where necessary). This will help you plan your learning time but remember to plan breaks and fun activities too! You will find the timetable in the documents below.

Reading

Please read for at least twenty/thirty minutes every day. Talk about what you have read with an adult. Discuss the story, characters and any new vocabulary you come across. We can issue books and change books as needed.

Reading Challenge: Using your reading book, draw a picture of your favourite part of the story and describe what you have drawn. If your book is non-fiction draw one of the diagrams and write a caption to go with it. Please do this in your Home Learning exercise book (collect from school) with today’s date.

English

Read the rest of the story - Cloud Tea Monkeys, you will find this in the documents at the bottom of the page.

What do you think of the story?

This story is set in the past, but in many parts of the world, families are working hard to harvest food for which they receive minimal payment. People around the world suffer a great deal of poverty because the wages for the pickers are not set at a fair rate.

Watch the clip below that explains what Fairtrade is all about:

Can I research the Fairtrade movement?

Explore the sites (below) about Fairtrade and research interesting facts and information to share about how Fairtrade improves people’s lives.

Try to organise your notes using presentational devices: headings, sub-headings, bullet/numbered points, underlining, pictures/photos and captions.

When you have finished, present your findings to someone at home.

Art

We will be learning about different painters in Art.

Last term we learnt about The Victorians, so our painter for today is the famous Victorian artist, William Morris.

Look at the PowerPoint in the documents below which is all about William Morris’ life and work.

Choose one of the patterns from the PowerPoint slides to copy.

Draw a large square on some plain paper approx. 15cm by 15cm.

Copy (in pencil) the pattern you have chosen onto your square and colour.

Please stick this into your exercise book.

I have also included some colouring sheets (documents below) in the style of William Morris. You could do some colouring or use the patterns to trace onto your art work square above.
