30 March 2020: Home learning

Monday 30 March 2020
Morning, everyone! Hope you’ve had a good weekend!
Week two already – let’s do this!
Your first task of Home Learning Week Two is to email your teacher! We want to know what you’ve been getting up to, how you are and if you’ve been doing anything fun or one of these crazy challenges floating around!
This week, you could win a chance to feature in the Hall of (Home Learning) Fame#HoHLF – over on our class news page.
All you have to do is simply send in progress of what you’ve been doing and how you’re keeping happy and healthy! Plus, it really brightens our day – thanks, guys, and good luck!
Right, let’s get down to the three tasks…

Y5 Maths – LO: equivalent fractions

Today we are venturing back to the start of this half term and looking at equivalent fractions – fractions that have the same value but look different.(e.g. 1/2 = 2/4)

Challenge:

Year 6 Maths – LO: compare and order fractions

Challenge:

Year 5 & 6 Reading – LO: comprehension

Your learning today is a comprehension task.

You should read the FirstNews task by clicking on this link: FirstNews comprehension – Monday (it will open as a separate page in your browser when you click the link). Once you’ve read it, answer the questions on page 2 – these questions will help you practice a range of reading skills.

Challenge 1: create your own questions for someone else to answer.

Challenge 2: ask someone in your house to help – they’ll need to be able to read so maybe not your pet dog or your favourite teddy bear. One of you is going to play the role of a ‘journalist’. The other person will play the role of an ‘expert’. The journalist should ask the expert questions that they can answer using the text. The expert uses the text to answer them. You could swap roles, too. Why not go BIG and put on a different voice, dress up or use a hairbrush as a microphone. You could even film it and send it in to us!

Year 5 & 6 Science – LO: materials and their properties

Task 2:

Email a picture of yourself to your teacher with your chosen object.

The more obscure the object (with correctly identified properties), the better your chance of possibly featuring on our #HoHLF – good luck!
