You can find daily prayers in this document to say with your family, friends or by yourself. 

On Tuesday of this week it will be Safer Internet Day.

The theme is:

"An internet we trust: exploring reliability in the online world"

This year in the UK, Safer Internet Day explores reliability online. The internet has an amazing range of information and opportunities online, but how do we separate fact from fiction?

There is a presentation with information, an assembly video and some follow up activities. You can do them on Tuesday or any other time you like! 

Hello Year 5 another new week is here!

Super work once again last week and you have all achieved so much - I'm so proud of you. 

Your work is organised into the days of the week below, as before.

Please try your best to have a look at the Maths and English lessons at a minimum for each day of the week. Remember: you choose your challenge. If you want to do a few questions or ALL of them, that's fine.

We all work at different levels, speeds and abilities. You just work to the best of yours! 

Afternoon sessions are there on the days we would usually do them in school but you can do them in any order if you want.

Morning messages are there with the instructions for the day. 

Don't forget to scroll to the end of the page to see some extra projects and activities like Action for Happiness calendar/Times Tables/Mental Maths websites and other extra learning websites too! 

You can send me work or questions you may have to the Year 5 mailbox: year5@st-jo-st.dudley.sch.uk

I promise I am looking at everything that is coming in but I might not reply to each of your lovely individual emails that you send during the week but I will try and respond once a week at a minimum! 

Fabulous Feedback from Mrs Hickman!

Watch this video for some whole class verbal feedback.

I have spoken about equivalent fractions and I have made a video, showing you how to find equivalent fractions, to refresh and revise. 

The second half of the feedback video below is looking at your Dragon Themed Poetry and showing good examples of work, along with some spelling and grammar errors I spotted too!

Maths 

Topic - Fractions

Lesson - Improper fractions to mixed numbers

New learning today. Watch and Listen to the video really carefully. There will be lots of bar models and number lines used to help you visualise the fractions. 

Remember: an improper fraction is where the numerator (top number) is LARGER than the denominator (bottom number). You might have heard it as a "top-heavy" fraction as the top looks heavier than the bottom! 

A mixed number is a whole number with a fraction.

You will be able to answer the questions WITHOUT printing. You might need a ruler to draw some bar models to help you visualise the fractions. 

English

Topic - Harry Potter

Lesson - Figurative Language

As we know from last week, The motto of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is Draco dormiens numquam titillandus; Latin for Never tickle a sleeping dragon.

We are going to continue our dragon theme this week! 

Read the descriptions of dragons on the Lessson Presentation and listen to Mrs Hickman discussing the descriptions and language used in the video. 

TASK: 

You need to create a dragon. 

Think of figurative phrases and words only to describe a dragon. (You are not writing in paragraphs today- just ideas!).

There are examples in the presentation to help. Remember to describe all of its body, how it moves, defends itself etc.

Listen to Mrs Hickman discussing the descriptive and figurative language here:

Maths 

Topic - Fractions

Lesson - Mixed numbers to improper fractions

New learning today but you will use what you learnt yesterday (doing it in reverse)! Watch and Listen to the video carefully and completely. There will be lots of bar models and number lines used to help you visualise the fractions again. 

Remember: an improper fraction is where the numerator (top number) is LARGER than the denominator (bottom number). You might have heard it as a "top-heavy" fraction as the top looks heavier than the bottom! 

A mixed number is a whole number with a fraction.

You will be able to answer the questions WITHOUT printing. You might need a ruler to draw some bar models to help you visualise the fractions.

Other Reading Activities this week

-Ask your child to read a chapter from their home reading book.

-Following this, ask your child to summarise the events from the chapter. They could bullet point what happened, create a comic strip or present the information in their own creative way.

-Encourage your child to note down any unfamiliar words from the chapter they have read. Explore the meanings of these words by using a dictionary, reading around the sentence or using print conventions.

-Challenge your child to read something around the house that isn't a book. They can then keep a record of all these.

We need each other more than ever right now! This month let's focus on reaching out to connect with others and doing our best to be a good friend.

In stressful times people around us may be feeling the strain, so let's try to keep calm, take time to listen and show compassion.
