Welcome to Year 5 and 6
Welcome to our home learning!
Below, you will find links to home learning activies. These have been posted on a Padlet, which lets you add posts or comments so I can respond to. I do not recieve notifications when a post is added. I will try to respond to your comments or questions during the lesson. So, for example, I will only view the maths work, before break in a morning. It is the expectation that you complete the work at the same time so if you do want to ask me questions, I am available to help as we will be doing the same lesson at the same time in school.
Please try to upload completed work onto Class Dojo as frquently as possible, daily would be prefereable, e.g. document uploads, screen shots, photos etc. These will be looked at by the class teacher and feedback will be given if needed.
Morning 1
Maths (40-50 minutes) - click here
You will see that the first lesson is for Monday and Tuesday. I expect all the activities to be completed so therefore it may take 2 lessons. This is to ensure that all access fluency, reasoning and problem solving style questions. This is the same for Wednesday and Thursday, whilst Friday is a lesson on it's own. I have added a question column on the end for you to post questions in.
In class we use a range of different support materials to help all children access all the different questions. I have added links to these below, which can be printed if needed.
Hundred Square
Number Lines - can be printed off, but these are easy to make.
12 X 12 Spotted grid - to help with mulitplication and division facts.
Break - Fresh air is important, go outside if you can.
Morning 2
English (40-50 minutes) - click here
All the resouces you need are attached to the padlet. As with the maths, I've added a question column - you may have to scroll to the right to get to it.
Lunch - Again, it is important to get some fresh air.
Afternoon
Topic (1 hour) - click here
All the resouces you need are attached to the padlet. You will find the questions column if you scroll to the right.
Don't forget to keep going with TTR, Prodigy and your reading.

Year 5 and 6 SCIENCE and ART with Mrs Chapman
. Everything we do together each week makes sure that you are thinking about and learning the same things you would be doing if we were in the classroom.
Our final term of the year is here..
Hello Super Scientists!
We are going to complete our final topic of the year now.
You have done a lot of learning, research and investigating. By now you will have lots of questions and ideas about science which you can follow up in the next couple of weeks before we complete the school year.
Titanic!
This topic will need you to use your science and link it to the historical event of the sinking of the Titanic .
This topic is based around applying the working scientifically skills that you have learned so far in your science lessons, to explore some of the scientific concepts behind the Titanic , e.g. floating and sinking.
This will be a good opportunity to use your working scientifically skills and for those of you in Year 6 it will help for transition to KS3 science.
UNITS: 6.1: Keeping it afloat 6.2: Sinking the unsinkable 6.3: Staying alive
Let’ start- This week we begin the final part of our investigations about the Titanic
This – STAYING ALIVE!
LO: to investigate by researching and comparing the most efficient material which would make a good insulator.
LET’S THINK LIKE SCIENTISTS Use these questions to develop research skills and speaking and listening:
What is hypothermia?
What is the normal body temperature of a human?
Why did passengers on the Titanic get cold so quickly in the sea?
Today, how do divers survive cold conditions in the water?
Surf the internet and see if you can find the answers to those questions.
Here is a starting link to help you think..
Heat and insulation - KS2 Science - BBC Bitesize
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zkntsbk
Now let’s do some more… LET’S THINK LIKE SCIENTISTS Use these questions to develop research skills and speaking and listening:
What did the first life jackets look like and what were they made from?
Why is the life jacket only for the upper part of the body?
What does the law say about life jackets for boats and airplanes?
Why do some people who have life jackets still die in the water?
Drysuits, wetsuits and insulation - KS2 Science - BBC Bitesize
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/znr3cdm
A caver explains how drysuits and wetsuits use types of insulation to keep him warm.
Next week we are going to use your understanding of ‘hypothermia’ and life-jackets!
Remember-You will need to think about Science all the time through the week as well as sitting for an hour. Your Science should take at least 90 minutes a week and your Art will probably be the same. You don't have to do this all on one day- sometimes just to do some for a little time each day!

For your Art..
Over the past weeks you have created your first rough draft for this Arts Award!
Now you can find out more about the ‘Discover’ award..
Once you have looked at what is required with your Home Learning Partner- decide if you want to go ahead and create & complete the necessary portfolio. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU SEND A MESSAGE TO ME OR YOUR CLASS TEACHER BY FRIDAY 10th JULY 2020- THEN WE CAN COMPLETE A FORM TO ENSURE YOU ARE ON THE SCHOOL LIST AND MAKE SURE YOU WILL GET A CERTIFICATE.
This will complete your Art Home-Learning this academic year.
Introducing Arts Award Discover at Home
In these challenging times, the team at Arts Award and Trinity College London are keen to provide support to parents, carers, children and young people to enable them to continue to engage in the arts and culture from home.
What is Discover at Home?
Discover at Home is a special version of Arts Award Discover, the first level of Arts Award. Arts Award is a set of awards for children and young people aged 25 and under that gets them involved in and excited about arts and culture and celebrates their creative achievements. This unique qualification is managed by Trinity College London College London in association with Arts Council England in England and is normally available across the UK through schools and centres that offer arts activities.
Discover at Home is aimed at children aged 11 and under.
Discover at Home is a set of resources from Arts Award and Trinity College London, with expert support provided regionally in England by Arts Council England’s Bridge Organisations.

Bonjour! – French Home Learning.
This year we all began a new course to learn French.
In the main Home Learning Resources part of the website you will
find a ‘push button’ grid which I hope you will find interesting and useful -to help you keep learning this fun language.
This will be your resource for the full term at home.
You should begin at the beginning so always start at Level 1 and then work your way through the same topic.
Because you are Upper KS2, Year 6's you will find it helpful to 'push' yourselves to complete each topic up and including Level 4.
Year 5's - you have another year to get to this level, so up to Level 3 would be a sensible target. But if you are enjoying and want to go further on a topic- do!
Take your time and be sure that you can remember the vocabulary from one level before moving onto the next level. Enjoy!
This is how to use the French Home Learning Grid:
Click on the embedded link to open the Home Learning Grid.
Here are some ideas to practise French at Home:
1. Pick and mix from any French topic that you would like to explore from the grid.
2. Level 1 (easy) to Level 4 (challenging). Top Tip – start at Level 1!
3. Use the sound buttons to listen to the words. Listen then repeat.
4. Which words are easy? Which words are difficult?
5. Think of an action for each of these words. Act them and say them.
6. Ask to play Jacques-a-dit at home (Simon Says) with the new French words.
7. You can draw the new words and label them in French. Be creative, make it extra nice!
8. Look for more words to add to the topic from an online dictionary
