Morning, everyone! Friday, as you may know, was supposed to be a bank holiday. For consistency for those parents that need it, we’re still going to set some optional tasks. These will be centred around Victory in Europe Day!

Today’s three tasks are maths, geography and reading but first, here are some answers.

Y5&Y6 Writing answers

Click here and go to page 3.

Y5 Maths answers

Click here.

Y5 Maths – LO: read and interpret tables

Following on from our learning about line graphs, today’s learning focuses on reading and interpreting tables.

Click here to begin!

Remember, I’m always just an email away if you have any questions.

Y6 Maths – LO: algebra

Today, we’re recapping algebra. First, watch this video and then this one.

Your task today is to complete these questions. Remember, algebra is quite tricky so take your time and ask for help if you need it. You can always email me if you need to!

Y5&6 Geography – LO: human and physical features

Today’s awesome activity was suggested by Ben in Y6. Thanks, Ben!

Your task today is to spot all the human and physical features in a video game of your choice (like lava from Minecraft). Alternatively, you could spot them being mentioned in your favourite book (like the Hogwart’s castle in Harry Potter). If the first two options don’t appeal to you, you could even take a walk around where you live and take pictures of the ones you spot! You could even do all three if you fancied!

You could record these in your home learning books by writing them down or drawing pictures, make a video commentary or take photos.

Take a look at this to jog your memory before you get going.

We’d love to see what you come up with and we’d love to hear your suggestions for things you’d like to learn. It could be your turn to set the next task for Y5 & Y6!

Y5&6 Reading – LO: love of reading

Today’s reading task is a nice and chilled one. All we want you to do is to spend at least thirty minutes reading something that you love. You could even get some comfy clothes on, get a hot chocolate and find somewhere cosy (like a pillow fort!) to read in peace. It could be something online, a magazine or it could be First News!

As always, send in your photos to jenwilson@spherefederation.org or oliwain@spherefederation.org!

Task 3

VE DAY

Please read through this with your child. There are some activities to do at the end.

On Friday, lots of people will be celebrating VE Day.

VE Day: What is it, when is it and why do we remember?

VE Day – or ‘Victory in Europe Day’ – marks the day towards the end of World War Two (WW2) when fighting came to an end.

How was VE Day celebrated?
Tuesday 8 May, 1945, was an emotional day that millions of people had been waiting for. Many people were extremely happy that the fighting had stopped and there were big celebrations and street parties.

Here are the answers to the photo above.

Huge crowds – with lots of people dressed in red, white and blue – gathered outside Buckingham Palace in London. They cheered as King George VI and his family, including Princess Elizabeth (the current queen) and Princess Margaret, came out onto the balcony to greet everybody.
Princess Elizabeth and her sister were allowed to leave the palace and celebrate with crowds outside, although they had to do it secretly.
The future Queen described it as “one of the most memorable nights of my life”. Many people also attended church services to thank God for the victory.

Watch it here.

Here are a few VE Day activities.

And finally, a few wartime songs to share.

Hi Year 1!

We’ve made it to the middle of the week again. These days are flying by! I hope you’re enjoying the learning videos. It’s really quite odd not having anyone answering my questions, but I’m sure you are as you’re watching.

It’s great to hear that lots of you are still enjoying doing lots of reading. Remember, if you’re running out of books to read at home, you can log on to this online library. There are lots of great books on here.

Onto today’s tasks…

Writing

I think it’s very important to record and remember what I do each day. This way, I don’t forget things. Below is a recount of my day yesterday:

First, I got ready and had my breakfast.

Then, I did some work and recorded a maths video.

Next, I had my lunch. I had a tortilla pizza.

After that, I went for a run around Potternewton Park.

Then, I had salmon and rice for my tea. It was delicious!

Finally, I watched a film and ate a bag of peanut butter M&Ms. Yummy!

Can you write a recount of what you did yesterday?

Use time connectives to help order your day.

After that,…

Crossword time!

Today’s science learning is a recap of our vocabulary from our evolution and inheritance topic.

Click here for the crossword!

Y5&6 Reading – LO: retrieval

Today’s task is to come up with your own retrieval questions. First, watch Newsround once to enjoy it and catch up with some news. Next, rewatch it and write down five retrieval questions. You can challenge someone in your house or challenge someone from our class via video call. You could even challenge me by sending me a video of your questions for me to have a go at answering.

Remember, retrieval questions are only about what you definitely know and can prove from watching the clip. You shouldn’t need any prior knowledge or use your own opinion to answer the question. Here are some ideas for questions:

- Where was…?
- When was…?
- What was…?
- For, ___, who was involved…?
- True or false…?
- Order these facts chronologically.
- Fill in the missing word.
- Match up the city (or something else) with the story (or something else).
