Home Learning Area Tasks for the week of: 20/04/2020

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 Algebra Skills'. Then select 'Number Sequences'. I would like you to try, 'Sequences'. 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.

There are two books for you to read. Once you have read them carefully, complete the tasks assigned.

Book 1: The Legend of Llyn y Fan - reading test questions

Book 2: Gelert's Grave - (reading in preparation for next week's task)

Topic 1: Developing Q.M. Questions

As part of our new topic 'Scream Machine' , I would like you to use the Question matrix below to e-mail me a few questions that you would like to research during this topic. Your questions will inform my planning and what your work will focus on during this term's lessons.

Topic 2: Creating a Persuasive Theme Park Poster

I would like you to create a persuasive poster, advertising your own theme park. For a good persuasive poster:

• Make it colourful
• Use exaggeration and superlatives- e.g. 'the BEST place in the world'
• Use celebrity endorsement 
• Use join the gang sentences - e.g. everyone's going there
• Bossy and netting sentences - imperative verbs and use of the word 'You'

Have a look at the example below for ideas.

Your spelling words are available for you to learn - a family member could test you on Friday.

You could also complete the activities from Friday's Spelling lesson - sentences, definitions and 'words within words'. Don't forget to share your work with me.
