Year 5 – Thursday 19th March

Hello Year 5s. We hope you are well and that you are all working hard, whilst giving yourself some rest and fun too. We hope that you were able to complete the jobs set yesterday and that there were not any problems accessing them.

How was the short PE activity? Did you enjoy it? Did anyone manage to get their parents, siblings or anyone else to join you? If you did, well done! Let us know how it went.

Miss Thomas is still available to email at year5@stmarksce.org.uk if you have any questions, need some help, want to send a picture of your hard work or just want to say hello. Thank you to those children who already have emailed in, it has been fantastic to hear from you and see how everything is getting on. Just remember to check with an adult that it’s okay to email first.

Here are your learning jobs for Thursday. Again we have some of the same subjects as the last few days -Maths, Book Club, and English – but today we also have a topic lesson and another Grammar Hammer. It doesn’t matter too much which order you do the jobs in, but we recommend that you do Book Club before English today. This will make your English job easier.

Maths – Today you will be continuing to subtract fractions with different denominators, which also includes mixed numbers. The key skills you need for this you practised yesterday, and then you just need to subtract the whole numbers first. It includes a couple of challenge questions, which you do not have to include, but do have a go at if you can. Please let Miss T know if you manage them or even have a go, it would be fantastic to hear. To make things easier, we have created a video and uploaded it to YouTube which talks through the different sections of this job. There will be a link to this in a separate post, which is password protected, so look out for that post and the password.

Book Club – Today you have Chapter 17 to read. Then you have to describe how Anthony is feeling at the moment (throughout this chapter). You need to use APE to complete this, so it should about a paragraph in length. I have put a reminder of APE on the PowerPoint for anyone who is unsure.

English – remember it will be easier to complete English after Book Club today. In English, you will be writing a character description of the character Glass Eye.

Grammar Hammer – Complete the Grammar Hammer questions, thinking carefully about each answer.

Topic – Look through the PowerPoint, learning about the capital city of Vienna and it’s history. It focuses on the location of the city and why it was located there. Use the information provided to then write a short speech explaining why the location is perfect for it’s purpose. (More information on the PowerPoint)

Just a quick reminder, please try your best at the different jobs and think carefully about what we have done in class and how this can help you with your jobs. Remember to talk to your parents and see if they can help you, and if you’re still unsure, send an email to Miss T to ask for help. (Email address year5@stmarksce.org.uk )

We are proud of you for your hard work so far and remember to keep in touch. As always, stay safe, wash your hands and continue to show all the learning behaviours towards your work as you usually do.
