Year 5 Home Learning Wednesday 3rd February 2021
Good morning Year 5, I hope you are all well. On the way to school yesterday morning, I noticed that it’s getting lighter earlier in the mornings and the sun is setting later at night. It’s not so dark and wintery, a little sign that Spring is on its way! Take a look around and see what you can find to be grateful or hopeful for. You could write a little list or draw some pictures. I have just bought a book called, ‘The Book of Hopes’. It’s really very good and something you can pick up and read when you have a spare minute or two. If you follow the link you can read the book for free on the Literacy Trust website. My favourite is…A Song of Gladness by Michael Morpurgo

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. If it is a non-fiction book then look at the contents page, glossary or index and see how it helps you find information.
We can issue books and change books as needed.
Reading Challenge: Use the book you are reading at the moment. Write a few sentences to say who else would enjoy this book…why? Is there someone who wouldn’t enjoy this book and why? Please do this in your Home Learning exercise book with today’s date.
Spelling
This week we are investigating the suffix- ent. Please learn these spellings for Monday (08.02.21). If you don’t know what a word means, ask an adult or look it up in a dictionary. To help you learn them, write them down each day in your exercise book with the date. You could focus on your handwriting at the same time.
patient obedient turbulent different incompetent
absent innocent excellent evident complacent
intelligent confident magnificent emergent lenient
English
Today, I would like you to write the last three paragraphs of your faraway story.
To do this, use the last three boxes of your storyboard planning sheet from Monday’s lesson. This is the structure of your story so keep to your plan, it really helps when writing.
You will write your problem, resolution and conclusion paragraphs.
- Introduction
- Build-up
- Build-up
- Problem
- Resolution
- Conclusion
Focus: Good punctuation - capital letters, full stops, commas and speech marks.
No need to write the date and title. Continue your story after the first three paragraphs you wrote yesterday.
Please post this on Seesaw for me to see.
Maths
For your mental starter play the game – Coconut Multiples (Multiples of 12). Do mixed 2-12 today.

Please follow the link below to the White Rose Maths webpage and watch the lesson – Multiply by 100 (Recap).
Print out the worksheet below and stick it into your exercise book or copy the answers into your book.
The date and title are:
03.02.21
Can I multiply by 100?
Problem Solving Extension (optional):
Make five numbers
Take ten cards numbered 0 to 9.
Each time use all ten cards.
Arrange the cards to make:
a. five numbers that are multiples of 3
b. five numbers that are multiples of 7
c. five prime numbers
Make up more problems to use all ten cards
to make five special numbers.
Focus:
Solve mathematical problems or puzzles.
Know 3- and 7-times tables.
Recognise prime numbers.
Jack’s book – Answers:
The book has 221 pages.
42 of the digits are a 5.
Science
Last week’s lesson was about making mixtures of soluble and insoluble solids and separating them again. These are called reversible changes – you can get back the solids you mixed. We used 3 methods to separate the mixtures:
Sieving to separate different sized particles eg rice and flour;
Filtering to separate insoluble particles from a liquid eg sand from water;
Evaporation to separate a soluble solid after it had dissolved in water eg salt in water.
Confession time – in school, we didn’t manage very well! We found out what didn’t work, but we weren’t so great at trying a new method that would work. It’s absolutely fine – mistakes help us learn. So, in school, we are going to try again with some new mixtures. If you’d like to have another go at home to reinforce your learning, I think it will help you too.
Click this link and remind yourself how to do each of the 3 processes.
Year 5a Lesson 4 separating mixtures.pptx - Microsoft PowerPoint Online (live.com)
Here are some new mixtures to make and separate. Use about a teaspoonful of each in a little water and stir it. Think about which of the 3 methods above will help you to separate the mixtures.
If it doesn’t work, try a different one.
- Flour and lentils/rice/similar
- Tea leaves in water
- Sugar in water
- Soil in water – how clear can you get the water?
- Gravel or similar, flour and salt – the ultimate challenge!
Use the table on slide 7 to record your observations. Remember to write in as much detail as possible to show what great scientists you are! Look at slide 10 for what a good one looks like.
Evaporation obviously takes time so you will need to wait for this to happen. How could you speed it up? (Clue: how do you dry your hair when it’s wet? What about drying your clothes? Or your hands when you are out or at school? These machines that are used to speed up evaporation all use warm wind. How could you speed up the evaporation of your water?)
Good luck! I hope you now feel more confident about separating mixtures. I’d love to see some photos on Seesaw of Y5 chemists at work!

French
First, let’s recap the phonics sounds from last week by watching the video again. This week, you are going to try and write down the number and colour words that contain the sounds.
Before you start, write the date and learning objective in your book:
mercredi quatre février
Can I use phonics to help me spell French words?
Then write each of the phonic sounds, leaving space underneath each to write down the words that have the sound in. Spread them out on your page. The sounds are:
Ou eu an oi in/un i on
Now listen to Emilie again, pausing the video when she asks you to think of the numbers and colours that have that sound in.
Have a go at writing the words under the right sound, then start the video again to check your spelling. Please correct it if you make a mistake. Mistakes are fine! They help us to learn.

Now we are going to try to write some sentences of our own about the planets using the PowerPoint to help us. All the instructions are on the slides.
Next week, we will redraft our sentences onto a special piece of paper and you will be really proud of your work!
There’s a treat activity on the last slide! You must ask an adult for help though!
Très bien! A bientôt!

Maths Challenges: Mixed Times Tables and Add/Subtract Fractions.
Spelling Challenge: The suffix - ent/ment. These words are slightly different from your spelling test words above, but still worth working on to expand your vocabulary.
Finally, if any of you would like to learn a ‘Hip-Hop Dance Routine’ please follow the link below. There is a video clip and written notes to help you remember the routine…Enjoy!
