I hope you have all had a lovely weekend. It's been a bit rainy but I've enjoyed spending some time with our chickens and getting them settled into their new home. They are getting really big now! (And one is possibly a cockerel. Any experts out there?) Here they are...

LO: To calculate angles between intersecting lines, in triangles and quadrilaterals.
Read through the PowerPoint which will go over how to calculate missing angles on a straight line and around a point then move on to how to find missing angles when two lines cross each other, in a triangle and in a quadrilateral. Try activity 1 first. You can choose from the one, two or three star activities. If you feel confident, have a go at activity 2.
English
Spellings: This week's spelling activities focus upon the Year 5/6 words to learn. Look through the PowerPoint and choose a different activity each day to help you to learn the words in the list.
Comprehension: This week's comprehension is based on Chapter 4 - Gibbons and Ghosts - of Kensuke's Kingdom. Please read the chapter before answering the questions. You can choose from the one or two star questions. Please check your answers.
Something extra! I know Year 5 are super readers and true book worms so you may want to have a look at the Summer Reading Challenge. Usually, you can sign up for this at the library. If I remember correctly, last year's theme was Space? The theme this year is Silly Squad and it’s all about funny books, happiness and having a laugh! Click HERE to take you to the website where you can sign up for this year. An adult will need to verify your account so make sure you tell a grown-up first.
