SNOW DAY FRIDAY 10^TH MARCH 2023

Good morning year 5,

I hope you are keeping nice and warm on this snowy day.  I have planned some activities that you can complete at home that you will enjoy.

English

In our recent lessons we have looked at Alex rider and how he escaped the academy. In our active reading lesson, the story ended with a cliff hanger and Smithers had located Alex on his GPS. Can you use your imagination to tell me what happens next? Does Alex make it? What problems does he face? Will the enemy capture him? Is Smithers actually on Alex’s side or will he betray him? You decide. Remember to use your descriptive language so the reader can paint a picture in their head.

Maths

In maths we have been looking at adding and subtracting fraction. Next week we will be looking more at improper fractions and mixed numbers. To help with this you can practice your times tables. You can practice on Times Tables Rock Stars (bonus point to children who send challenges to Mr Ludlow or Mrs Hudson-Evans, the more challenges the better)

Topic

In class we have recently been learning about mountains and mountain ranges.

Please complete lesson 2 “What are fold mountains?”. There is a quiz at the end to test your knowledge. https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/what-are-fold-mountains-61hp2r?activity=video&step=2&view=1

Reading

To practice your reading you can read either; your class book, your reading group book, reading planet or dyslexia gold/reading plus if you have access.

Computing

In computing, we are going to start coding with scratch. To really help get ready before we start in class can you look at scratch and see if you remember how to use it and if you can find the different code you may want to use. If you would like a little challenge, you could try and follow this tutorial to make your own pong game.
