Happy return – Summer 2

May 31, 2020

[dropshadowbox align=”center” effect=”raised” width=”auto” height=”” background_color=”#e5e3f8″ border_width=”4″ border_color=”#1c7d9d” ]Welcome back to the new and very exciting half-term.[/dropshadowbox]

Over the next weeks in Maths, we will move away from the revision and start closing the gaps of small topics that we have not yet had the chance to cover in Year 5 and with the uncertainty of the coming weeks, we don’t want to leave to chance. This will include some Geometry (especially “position and direction” which we will explore with our own videos) and Statistics.

Equally, in English we will catch-up with a few useful aspects of the daily lessons from BBC Bitesize, spiced up with some Pobble starter and vocabulary work as well as useful elements of lessons from our new scheme called “Power of Reading” with regards to our new class-novel “Floodland” by Marcus Sedgwick. (This should link nicely with our Geography learning.)

In RE, we will explore – not at all feeling a little Guinea-piggish – the topic “Journey of life” from the Croydon Syllabus.

During your Science learning, we will continue with some exciting explorations in “Properties of materials and change”. This will be supplemented by a selection of very useful Science lessons from BBC Bitesize and STEM.

We are incredibly excited about Geography as we will move on to the topic “Rivers” where we will explore the features of rivers, but also look at their benefits and threats as well as their huge importance in different parts of this world. You will have the chance to build a river model, test it out and also wow us with a case study of a river of your choice.

Our thinking for Art needs to be finalised since we are not starting with it until next week.

In Spanish, we now will all get access to a homelearning pack from language-angels and first of all, continue with our learning about “Mi casa”.

Over this half-term, we would love to find some time for DT that doesn’t involve baking or cooking, but designing and constructing.

This week’s timetable:

[dropshadowbox align=”center” effect=”perspective-left” width=”auto” height=”” background_color=”#f1f4d7″ border_width=”4″ border_color=”#c28181″ ]Homework[/dropshadowbox]

  1. Write a bookreview about Street Child.

  2. Revise Unit 3 – Me presento on language angels.

  1. Compile a little “Croydon – Local History Guide” with your history work of the last weeks. Add a title page, a glossary and a map.

  • If you want to slightly alter/change the title, you may do so.

Podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/user/12356852/streetchild-ch25-theraggedschool

Document: StreetChild-chapter 25 – The Ragged School

  1. How do we know Jim was very eager to see the woman with the coffee cart? Give 2 pieces of evidence.

  2. Explain the word ragged in your own words and also put it into a sentence.

  3. Explain why the woman couldn’t go with Jim.

  14. At the end of the chapter Shrimps hand was cold. What might this mean?

  15. What is your opinion on the ending of this chapter? What would you have done differently as the author? Why?

Science:

    1. reversible: … and

    2. irreversible: …

  • Predict and explain:

    • Are the following test reversible or irreversible? How do you know? If you have the resources, please feel free to try them out – if your parents are ok with it.

      1. Mixing water and plaster (Plaster of Paris ideally) – I had to use Finishing Plaster as I didn’t have any other. That’s why it looks a bit like … chocolate mousse. Reuben noticed that it got a bit warmer when mixing and then it solidified.

      2. Heating an egg

      3. Mixing bicarbonate of soda and vinegar. (Shame that the video size is too large. I really need to fix that.)

  • When burning a candle and placing a jar over it, I noticed that the candle gradually extinguishes and the jar on the inside becomes misty with water droplets. Where does the water come from?

    • Prediction: What happens when we mix milk with vinegar?

    • Method: Take about 150-200ml of milk (full-fat or semi-skimmed) and heat it in a pan.

          • As soon as the milk starts to boil, turn off the heat, stir the liquid and add 15ml of vinegar.

          • Observe what happens.

          • For your next step, read the attached document. 

    • Once you separated the mixture and let the casein dry, you have created plastic.

    • If you want to, you could repeat this and add food colouring to the milk which should result in colourful plastic.

I am gutted as this was the experiment (besides our rockets in Autumn term) that I was so looking forward to this year, but unfortunately, we fear that there won’t be time to do this in class, hence it is this week’s Science investigation. Sorry, parents, but it might not be the most pleasantly smelling experiment on the planet.

Good morning and “happy International Children’s Day” from us here in Year 5 at Howard,

We are wishing you a wonderful day with fun, joy and heaps of happiness.

This day was established in 1925 during “The World Conference for the Well-being of Children” (Geneva, Switzerland) and is not to be confused with “Universal Children’s Day” (United Nations, 1954), which happens annually on the 20 November and focusses on celebrating the rights and welfare of children world-wide (“For every child, every right.”).

[dropshadowbox align=”none” effect=”lifted-both” width=”auto” height=”” background_color=”#e530d7″ border_width=”1″ border_color=”#dddddd” ]Today we begin a new half term. Our topic for the half term is Shaping Up. This is a topic which integrates learning in science, PE and personal, health and social education. The children will learn about their bodies and how to stay healthy. This topic has particular relevance this year.[/dropshadowbox]

This week our learning will be as follows.

English

Spelling – Investigate homophones (two or more words with the same pronunciation but different spelling). Use the spell zone website for learning ideas and games.

https://www.spellzone.com/word_lists/list-4651.htm

Grammar – Use the following lesson from bbc bitesize to learn about subordinating conjunctions.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zrr8jhv

Narrative – Today we begin a new unit of work based on the book, Dream Big by Deloris Jordan.

Day 1 -Look at  front cover of Dream Big by Deloris Jordan. Make notes on what you noticed (e.g author, type of book, subject of book, author). Write a sentence predicting what you think the book will be about.

Day 2- Listen to reading of first 5 pages of Dream Big. Has this changed your view of what the book will be about. Write some questions you would like to ask Michael.

Dream Big – beginning

Day 3 – Listen to reading of next pages of 6 Dream Big. What do you think Michael’s mum would say when Michael said he wanted to be a champion. If possible, act out the conversation between Michael and his mother Deloris with a member of your family. Now write out a conversation. Don’t forget to use inverted commas (speech marks).

Dream Big – Middle (part 1)

Dream Big -Middle (Part 2)

Day 4 – Listen to the final reading of Dream Big. (Reading to follow). Look at the following quotes from Michael Jordan

  1. I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.
  2. Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.
  3. Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.

Think about your own dreams for the future. Write some sentences about your dreams and how you will make them happen.

Dream Big -end (part 1)

Dream Big -end (part 2)

 

Day 5 – Use the internet to find out about Michael Jordan. Make a spider diagram of key facts you have learned.

History

L.O. To develop chronological understanding about Benin

The Kingdom of Benin (article) | Nigeria | Khan Academy

Key Question – When was the Benin Kingdom in power?

Starter – 

What do you know already about Benin?

What would you like to know about Benin?

Mind map these two questions in your book/paper.  Share and group types of questions, e.g. life questions, geography questions, leadership qus etc.

 

Talk through the info slides that set Benin in context of time and place.  One map shows where the Benin Kingdom was and the other is a modern map of Africa.  Point out on the modern map that there is a country called Benin now, but that this was named after the Kingdom and is not in the same place.

 

Input and development – 

Order the periods of history (on the slides) in chronological order.

Parent help – Label the centuries in which the Benin Kingdom was in existence (900 – 1897 AD) with a coloured sticker / symbol so it stands out.

What do the children think they mean?

Ancient Egypt and the Stone Age, although important periods in the primary curriculum, are not featured here since they are before the earliest date on this timeline, 1000BC

The WWII symbols is smaller to indicate comparative scale.

Which periods in history that we have studied ran concurrently? What was the longest period in history of these examples?

In books, write a summary of what you have learnt.

Plenary – 

Look at the end date of the Kingdom of Benin. (1897). Why do you think this powerful, long lasting Kingdom might have come to an end in 1897?

http://www.learningcircuits.co.uk/learning.html

 

I.C.T-This week have a go at coding geometric shapes

https://studio.code.org/s/artist/stage/1/puzzle/1

 

Art/Design and Technology-

L.O-I can design an Egyptian death mask-

Next week , we would like you to begin making an Egyptian god or goddess mask

This week I would like you to think about the design process by answering the following questions:

What materials will I need?

Which tools will I need?

Which tools and materials do I have available to me at home?

What do I want my final mask to look like?

What steps will I make to achieve my final design (instructions)

 

You might want to look at the following links to give you some ideas for which resources you could use to design and make a mask.

To have a go at making an Egyptian God or Goddess mask next week you could use:

A base mask     for example found at https://www.poundland.co.uk/375664-cat-mask/

paper plates https://www.poundland.co.uk/90363-party-paper-plates-30-pack/

Cardboard and newspaper from your recycling bins

Or just paper and felt tip pens

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXU3Vd-c5sk

History-L.O-To learn all about Egyptian gods and goddesses and begin to find out what the ancient Egyptians believed.

#Lesson Presentation Egyptian Gods

Ancient-Egyptian-Gods-Differentiated-Comprehension-Activity_ver_8

Use the first sheet of this comprehension to find out about an ancient Egyptian god or goddess. Then use the Egypt’s Got Talent sheet or a piece of paper to record all you have found out about your god or goddess to convince the judges yours is best. Could you use this god or goddess as the one you use for your mask design? If you want something extra to do you could do one of the comprehensions on the fact sheet to test your understanding.

 Activity Sheet Ancient Egypt’s Got Talent

R.E-L.O-I know how the religion of Islam began

https://www.thenational.academy/year-4/foundation/how-did-the-religion-of-islam-begin-year-4-wk5-1

Complete the introductory quiz to test your previous knowledge. Then click on next activity or the green dots at the bottom of the page to move on to the lesson video. You will be making a timeline of the prophet Muhammed’s life. Remember not to draw pictures of Muhammed as this is seen as highly disrespectful.

Latin- This week as well as practising sentence construction, we are introducing prepositions (a word that describes the position of a person or thing in time or space, eg, under the table). See if you can fit them into the sentences in the exercise Latin Prepositions

Music- More songs to get you moving and feeling happy. This week features songs about kindness https://www.outoftheark.co.uk/ootam-at-home/

Time for a break- Feeling a bit stiff and frustrated? I tried doing some Tai Chi with Thomas to relax and stretch out. It feels a little strange and silly at first but once you get used to the movements it is really quite calming (we muted the video and played our own relaxing music choices)

A creative map-making & Geography task

[dropshadowbox align=”none” effect=”curled” width=”auto” height=”” background_color=”#bde2fa” border_width=”2″ border_color=”#7e3b18″ ]Good morning all,[/dropshadowbox]

After some of the Y5s were my guinea pigs, I would like as many children and families as possible from our school to trial something really exciting. This is based on an online tool called “Digimaps for Schools” by the University of Edinburgh.

[dropshadowbox align=”none” effect=”lifted-both” width=”auto” height=”” background_color=”#e1ecb7″ border_width=”2″ border_color=”#185e7e” ]Thank you Damara, Emiliana, Bianca, Lillian and James in Year 5 for giving it a good go.[/dropshadowbox]

Your task is to plan and document a walk you are going to undertake as a daily exercise. The steps I would like you to include are:

        • Go for a walk and take photographs of interesting sights.

        • Back at home, log-on to Digimaps.

        • Create a map for the local area you have taken your walk in.

        • Draw in the walk (draw lines in sections or as a whole; double-click for sections).

        • Pin in your home.

        • Measure the distance between the different parts of the walk.

        • After your walk, upload the photos into the right place on your map in Digimaps. (Remember to save.)

        • Save your map in your class-folder on Digimaps under your first name and the date (e.g. Max-17052020)

Here is the video instruction on how it works:

Have fun.

Thank you very much and happy half-term.
