‘Nurturing Individual Excellence’

Friday 5th June 2020

Good morning, Year 5. It's the end of our first week back already.  That seems to have gone really quickly don't you think? I hope you are all well and are looking forward to the weekend.  Just remember, even with the new rules in place, we should all still be socially distancing (staying apart for at least 2 metres) from anyone not in our household to help to protect all the vulnerable people in our community.

 

 

Maths

Mental Maths: Follow the link to Mathsbot. Change the 'Topic' to number 26 - fractions: improper and mixed.  Set the 'Min. difficulty' to 0 and the 'Max difficulty' to 3.  After you have worked through one of the columns, click on check answers.  

LO: To apply knowledge of calculating angles

Have a go at these mastery questions on calculating angles on a straight line and around a point.  Use yesterday's Powerpoint to help you if needed. 

 

English

Today, you spend time on the final two paragraphs of your writing 'Overboard'.  When you have finished, remember to do one final check of spellings, grammar and punctuation.  Use your checklist to help you think about the features of this type of writing. If you can, send in your writing.  (As of Monday, you should be able to send work more easily through the Seesaw app.  Details on how to log on will be sent soon.)

 

Science

Plants are able to reproduce in two different ways - sexual reproduction and asexual reproducion. Sexual reproduction involves pollen from one flower fertilising the egg of another to produce a seed. Only one parent is needed in asexual reproduction and the offspring are exact copies. Follow the link to the BBC Bitesize website HERE to find out about sexual and asexual reproduction in plants. After, have a go at the quiz to check your knowledge.  Then, have a go at putting the life cycle of a potato plant in order.

                     

 

Extension: Research the lifecycle of a plant that can reproduce asexually.  For example, tulips, daffodils, strawberry plant.
