Year 5 Home Practice 9th October 2020

Date: 9th Oct 2020 @ 11:25am

The weeks are flying by in Year 5 due to all the learning we are doing. Well done to everyone for working with interest and positivity. The diary recounts about an alien adventure were excellent. I really enjoyed reading them. We have learnt some new things in Maths – factors, multiples, square numbers, prime numbers and prime factors! In French, the children have learnt to read unknown words using the sounds an/en/am and em. Amazing pronunciation Year 5! #Hello Yellow Day for Young Minds was really fun. We did a lot of talking and some great activities.

Year 5 Home Practice Friday 9^th October 2020

Reading

Please read for at least twenty/thirty minutes every evening. Talk about what you have read with an adult. Discuss the story, characters and any new vocabulary you come across. Write new vocabulary in your reading diary and include comments about the story.

If you would like to find even more books to read, please look on Oxford Owl ebooks. You will find the link on the website - Year 5, Home Learning and there is a password for you. 

Maths

This week’s challenge on Sumdog is based on multiples, factors, prime numbers and mixed times tables practice. There is also a Lancashire Maths Contest on Sumdog. Look out for this on the green panel on the left of the screen when you start your games. It must be there for your scores to count!

Spelling

There will be new spellings to learn each week on a Friday and a Sumdog spelling challenge linked to the spelling rule/pattern (spellings could be different from the ones below). If you don’t know what a word means, look it up in a dictionary or ask an adult. Please learn these spellings for next Friday (16.10.20):

We are investigating the silent letters b, h and t in words.

whistle        ghoul         rhythm           subtle             comb       

thistle         ghastly      rhinocerous     Christmas      debt

ghost           rhyme        nestle              doubt             climb
