• • • Complete this set of ‘SpaG tasks:

• • Main-Task – Due to the fact that today’s lesson on BBC Bitesize hits one of the big targets that was on our to-do-list, we are going to split the main task into two.

1. 1. 1. 1. Visit BBC Bitesize and complete the “Using modal verbs” lesson including for all the activities 1 & 2, most should also at least complete parts of activity 3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/znd26v4
            

         2. To refocus on the use of commas, please read and watch: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zvwwxnb/articles/zc773k7

• • • • • Let’s particularly look at commas in Subordination. Remember that …

          • a subordinated clause is dependent on the main clause and gives additional information,

          • the main clause carries the key information,

          • the subordinated clause starts with a subordinating conjunction (although, because, even though, if, lest, since, though, until, when, whenever, …) or relative pronoun (which, who, that, whose …).

            • “I saw a Wabub”
              

          • When the subordinated clause starts the sentence, a comma follows before the main clause.

            • When I opened the door, the two little monsters came running at me.

          • When using relative clauses and the subordinated clause (after the relative pronoun) is essential (restrictive) for the meaning and understanding of the main clause, no comma is needed.

            • I enjoy helping others who might find things difficult. (Without the relative clause we wouldn’t know who the others are.)

          • When using relative clauses and the subordinated clause (after the relative pronoun) is non–essential (non-restrictive) for the main clause (non important information that could be left out is added), a comma is needed.

            • I enjoy visiting my friend Thomas, who researches bats. (This assumes that you don’t have lots of different friends called Thomas, though.)

         8. How do we know Jim was looking forward to marching in the procession?

Science: Today’s task or investigation will be particularly exciting and messy, because you get to mix different substances and then try to separate them again.

• To document today’s work, I would like you to create two posters (one for each investigation) with steps and pictures (can be on a PowerPoint^® presentation) of your investigation.

• First, recap and record from your memory/experience. What can be used to separate …?

1. 1. rice from salt,

   2. ground coffee from coffee beans,

   3. stones from soil,

   4. pumpkin seeds from Shia seeds,

   5. sugar from lumps of sugar,

   6. … (add your own example,

• Now, create the following mixtures and then separate them.

1. 1. 1. rice and sand (or water if you don’t have sand),

      2. ground coffee and water

      3. pasta and rice

      4. paper-clips and sand/soil

      5. … (your choice),

• Option/Challenge: Find 5 different substances, mix them and show us how you could separate them again over a series of steps.

• Finally, I would like you to set up an experiment where we undo what we did with the sugar and the water last week. However, we will be using salt instead of sugar.

  • Predict: What happens when I leave salty water in the sun?

  • Set-up: Mix a cup full of water with 3 table-spoons of salt.

  • Method:

    • Option 1: Heat the mixture and observe what’s happening to the water and salt solution.

    • Option 2 (the more exciting one):

      • Put the mixture in a bowl.

      • Inside (middle) of the bowl, place a small beaker/cup/… (whatever fits).

      • Cover the bowl with cling-film and put a small weight in the middle of the cling-film so that it “points” towards the centre of the cup that is placed inside the bowl.

      • Leave your experiment on the window-sill in direct sunlight and observe over days what’s happening to the water and salt solution. (How long did it take for the mixture to be separated?)

• • Record as above in the form of a poster.

• How is that relevant? Well, look at this picture of a plant/”factory” that separates sea-salt from sea/ocean water (it also obviously “produces” or harnesses water which is used in farming and could even be used as drinking water.

• Also, have you watched and do you remember “Race across the world” where the two winners worked on a salt-lake high up in the Andes? There, they had to get blocks of salt from the ground and once the “pool” they had created was empty, water from the lake was left in again.

• While today, we examined reversible changes (you can undo the mixing, essentially), next week you will be looking at irreversible changes.

• Art: Today, I would like to give you a little more freedom in your choice of Croydon art.

From or on your walk, please take a picture of what best symbolises Croydon (e.g. building). That might be a certain building, a park, a road … You choose.

After taking the pictures use it as a basis for your own perspective or observational drawing.

→ Revisit the perspective drawing video (2 weeks ago), if you need or wish to. Here is a different link with other objects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twcFW0RyOO8

→ Start drawing.

Have fun drawing!

Well done to last week’s Class-Dojo stars:

Cannon: Lillian, Lucas, Magnus, Emiliana, Melvin, Mariah, Ame, Damara, Bianca, Richa, Leen, Oscar, William, Deen (Welcome to Dojo) and Pyman (Thank you Mrs Ancel for updating as well.) – I hope that I haven’t forgotten anyone.

London: Holly, Emily P (fabulous Science work), James, Sofia G and Niki.

Good morning,

Another happy Monday is knocking on our door and there seems to be a small light at the end of the tunnel. Let’s begin the week with sharing what we are proud of and what kindness you have witnesses over the last couple of weeks. Like last week, we will add the new day’s activities in front of the previous day so that we don’t have to spend so much time scrolling down to find the day we are looking for. Here is our timetable for the week which can give you a bit of structure to avoid every day feeling like it is the same as all the others.

Remember to send us your work via Dojo or email (howardyear5@gmail.com) to receive huge amounts of Dojo-Points and – from what the flies on the walls have been whispering – there might be other rewards for great contributions once we are all back in school.

Here are two extra activities for you to complete at any chosen time:

• 2020 Olympics – Great fun: Travel_to_Tokyo
  

• Garden/Nature Explorer:

KS2 home learning – garden visitors – garden flowers identification sheet

KS2 home learning – garden visitors – lifecycle cards

KS2 home learning – garden visitors – Lined Writing Paper

KS2 home learning – garden visitors – my garden design sheet

KS2 home learning – garden visitors – wildlife journal

KS2 home learning – garden visitors – writing task

KS2 home learning – garden visitors – Y 5 6 reading questions

Science: Since many of you seemed to have enjoyed Science this week, here is a page with very fascinating Remote Lessons. If you are interested, have a look at the (the people from the STEM team ask for an adult to be present though).

• This week, maybe have a look at the Sound – sight and sound lesson.

• Tomorrow, you can even ask a real Scientist questions about it.

Homework: Since you have been working on school related tasks all week, we are going to give you informal rather than formal homework.

1. 1. Complete any school tasks from the week, you have not finished.

   2. Something I had wanted to do with you in school, but will now probably not happen as our time will be rather short. Please go through this “Geography/PSHE/Science-Lesson” on Sustainability and Plastics.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zrqj7nb

Please send me your leaflets for display in and around school.

        • our former headteacher Mr Robinson and

        • residents of St. John‘s nursing home who have lived in Croydon all their life.

Therefore, I need you to write a list of up to 10 questions you would want me to pass on.

These questions should focus on getting information about what life was like, important events and places in Croydon, … essentially anything that could bring History alife for us. This is one of the methods Historians do their research.

1. 2. Please search the internet and create a factfile on Croydon Airport which was once a hugely important airport in London.

• • • • Possible content could be: When was it opened? How long was it open? What was the primary use of the airport? Which records or mayor achievements did the airport become famous for? Which famous people were associated with Croydon airport? Why did it close? What were the concepts for the future when it initially closed?

      • Cup one at 15°C, Cup two at 25°C, Cup three at 35°C and Cup four at 45°C (We don’t want you to burn your skin hence the lower temperature.)

      • Place a tea spoon full of sugar into each cup simultaneously (since we only have 2 arms, please use an assistant for the third and fourth cup).

      • Set the stop-watch and observe.

      • Read and record the time on the stop-watch for when the sugar has dissolved.
