What glorious weather we had this weekend – we hope you managed to safely and sensibly get outside in the fresh air to enjoy it.
For those of you that were not in on Friday, we have attached the youtube video of Mr Applegate who wanted to send a little message. We hope it brings you some reassurance and positivity. You can find it at the bottom of the page in the Video Resources section. You will need the password that was given to all parents to be able to access this.
Thank you to those children who have emailed us with photos of their work or just to say hello. We are going to find this whole ‘working from home’ situation as strange as you are, but one thing that will really brighten our day is to know you’re getting on well with your learning, and that you’re happy and healthy.
This week, Mrs Silv is managing your home learning and is therefore your main contact if you’re struggling with anything… so don’t be shy – drop her an email and say hi!
Start your day with ‘P.E WITH JOE’ (Joe Wicks, The Body Coach). He will be streaming live workouts for children at 9am every day this week on his youtube channel -https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1/featured
Don’t forget you can email us on year6@stmarksce.org.uk. We would love to hear from you if you have a question, need a password, need some help, want to show us your work or even just say hello! Please get your grown up’s permission before you email us. We look forward to hearing from you.
Presentation – Please remember to do your very best work. Handwriting and presentation are as important at home as they are in school. You can complete your work in a book or if you need lined or squared paper you can get it here.
Note for parents: Hopefully your children will enjoy working through these activities and can do independently. We completely understand it may be difficult to complete all these tasks due to other family commitments or you are working from home, so please do not worry; complete what you can with your child.
Ongoing Daily Activities
As well as the learning tasks we upload each day, there are a few ‘extras’ that you could have a go at, if you get time.
TTRockstars – Play 5 garage games + 5 studio games. Mrs Silv will be online at 11am today! After such a beautiful sunny weekend, her maths brain is well-rested and is sure to be on fire with her times tables. Are you ready for a competition?! Meet in the ‘Arena’ (make sure you select ‘Maths class 6’ at the top) at 11am. Mrs Silv’s TT Rockstar name is Harmony Powers. Reading – Read for at least 20 minutes every day. Weekly spellings – Practise these everyday in your spelling booklets – your new weekly sheet will be uploaded each Monday. Download here: Week 5 spelling sheet or Week 5 spelling sheet less tricky Daily physical activity of some sort
Maths
We are continuing our learning of reading scales today – this time in the context of weight and mass. This will involve knowing key conversions between grams, kilograms and tonnes.
Please see attached powerpoint with some audio help again from Mrs Silvester (you may require Quicktime for this to play). Please also see below a choice of two levels of work – both of which have 2 sheets with Part 1, 2 and 3. We have also attached the answers for you to check AFTER you have completed your work.
As we have learnt so far, the Maya were a well-developed and sophisticated civilisation. In order to track time, they used three calendars. Your task this afternoon is to use the internet to find out about either the Tzolk’in or Haab calendar and why it was so significant for the Maya. Write an explanation about it and try to draw a diagram, or even create a model, to go with it! Please use the sheet attached below if you wish to, or present it on a page in your ‘Home Book’. We look forward to seeing your work.
We hope you have had a fantastic weekend and that you have managed to find lots of things to keep you entertained, as well as finding some time to go outside and get some fresh air.
We are all missing you and missing being in class, but it has been lovely to see some of your hard work, hearing about your days and chatting to you on the year 5 email. Please keep sending emails to year5@stmarksce.org.uk .
We know that some of you will be disappointed that we haven’t been able to do our European cooking and we are also very upset about this. Instead, we have set you a DT task today, linked to what we have been doing, but without the cooking aspect as we know that ingredients at the moment may be hard to come by. But we would really love to see what you come up with, so please do send in a photo of your end result.
We have come across a fantastic resource which we would like to share with you. The Body Coach, Joe Wicks, is running some live, free online fitness sessions for children at 9am Monday-Friday this week on Youtube. So if you would like 30 minutes of exercise in the morning, then maybe go to Youtube and search ‘The Body Coach TV’ and join in. We hope you enjoy.
In this tough time, remember to stay positive, smile, be helpful and be the wonderful children we know you to be.
Don’t forget you can email us on year5@stmarksce.org.uk. We would love to hear from you if you have a question, need a password, need some help, want to show us your work or even just say hello! Please get your grown up’s permission before you email us. We will be responding between 9am and 4.30pm. We look forward to hearing from you.
Presentation – Please remember to do your very best work. Handwriting and presentation are as important at home as they are in school. You can complete your work in a book or if you need lined or squared paper you can get it here.
Note for parents: Hopefully your children will enjoy working through these activities and can do independently.

Daily Activities
Today’s activities include Maths, English and DT, more information of each below. There are two videos to help you with today’s learning, which is lower down on this page, and you will need to use the same password as the last few days to access them. Also remember to continue with the ongoing tasks, which are listed below
TTRockstars – You have been set the challenge of completing 3 garage sets before you will be able to play freely. Miss Thomas will be online again at 3pm, so she hopes to see as many of you in the arena as possible. Thank you to those children who joined her on Friday, she has realised she really needs to work on her speed as she keeps getting beaten!! Remember to look out for Missy Flowers (that’s Miss T).
Reading – Read for at least 20 mins.
Spellings – Today there is a new set of spellings (attached below), remember to practise these daily.
Maths
Maths today will be continuing with fractions, but with something completely new – multiplying fractions by a whole number. We will be doing this for the next few days. Today will be focusing on how to do this using repeated addition (and you are very good at adding fractions). Miss Thomas has created a video to help you which shows the task as well as a mini introduction alongside a PowerPoint, so hopefully this will be helpful for you. Remember, if you would like answers, Miss T has them so email in to year5@stmarksce.org.uk and she will send them over.
Today you are going to be listening to one of the final chapters of Millions. Some of you may have noticed that the video of Mrs Poole reading Chapter 18 cut out before the end, which we apologise for, (silly computer errors). Therefore we have included in the English PowerPoint the last few pages which were cut out so please read those. Then there is a video (which we have checked) for Chapter 19, again with Mrs Poole reading them to you. Once you have done this, you then have a writing task, which again should only take you 15-20 minutes.
Today we are challenging you create a menu from one European country. Your menu needs to contain some starters, mains and desserts from the country you choose. Once you have chosen a country, you need to find some traditional food from that country and create a menu with what you find. Once you researched, create a decorative menu with some details about the different foods.
We have created an example menu from England, but we would like you to choose a European country other than England. We are happy for you to make the menu by hand or electronically, whichever you’d prefer. When you have finished, please do send us a copy, we would LOVE to see what you have designed.
We hope you’ve had a lovely weekend and managed to get some fresh air. So for those children who at home for the first time today – just follow today’s work below and welcome to your home learning. You only need to work for about 2 hours throughout the day. If you don’t get everything done don’t worry! Do what you can. Did you manage to see Friday’s worship? No, then you can find it here: https://www.stmarksprimary.net/2020/03/19/home-worship/

Maths – adding fractions with the same denominator
The children have worked hard this term to deepen their fractions knowledge. We have added and subtracted fractions using diagrams as well as in our heads. Children, use whichever method you feel most comfortable with. Here is a short BBC Bitesize clip to help but please don’t worry about the bit where there are different denominators! https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zhdwxnb/articles/z9n4k7h
Here are the questions: https://oioexae.exampro.net/ Alternatively download a pdf below. If you don’t have a printer, please do your best to read from the screen and use a notebook or some paper.
We have really enjoyed reading the adventures of Stanley you have been sending in. This week we will have a focus on ‘The Fairground’ partly because of Stan but also it is tricky to carry on with the book without the book! We hope that you enjoy exploring the fairground this week and do share with us any writing you have done. Today it is all about using conjunctions! https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zwwp8mn/articles/zqk37p3
As I was out taking a walk to get some fresh air, I noticed in a window someone had stuck a picture of a rainbow. Later on, I discovered that on social media people have been encouraging children to make a picture of a rainbow and stick it in their window. When others are out taking a walk, they can count how many rainbows there are in the local area. If you haven’t taken part in this yet, take some time today to make a rainbow and stick it in your window. If you have brothers and sisters, you could each make one to increase the number!
