Home Learning Area Tasks for the week of: 04/05/2020

Class Connectivity

To keep our class connected and to see what we all have been doing during these unprecedented times, I would like you to send me either a picture or small video of something you have been up to. This could include a walk, exercise routines, painting, etc - anything you have been up to and want to share. I will then put all of these moments into a video montage to share with you at the end of the week.

In the top left-hand corner select 'Curriculum for Wales'. Then, from the 'Library', choose 'Using Measuring Skills'. Then select 'Length weight/ mass capacity'. I would like you to try, 'Units of capacity'. Select the 'Lesson' to help you understand before completing the 'Online Homework' task.

Important: Don't forget to select the 'Lesson' before attempting the 'Online Homework' task.

If you don't get things correct first time, keep trying the tasks until you have a better understanding or ask for help. 

Don't forget there is also a selection of Maths websites on the Year 5 class page - click here to view.

Topic 1: Running your theme park

Use your Theme Park Plans to copy out the table to figure out your theme park's daily running costs.

Tip: An excel spreadsheet would be an appropriate way of completing this task (see walkthrough below). Remember to save and give your spreadsheet a name!

To run your theme park the following costs will apply to each item that you have every day. 

How much will it cost to run your theme park for one day? 

Copy and complete the table above to fit your designed theme park.  

How much does it cost for your theme park to be open for: 

1. One day?

2. One week?

3. One Year?
