Year 5 Home LearningDate: Thursday 2nd April 2020

Comment:Happy Thursday Year 5!

Remember to write the date and learning objective at the top of the page. After each piece of work remember to rule off to save paper.

Remember to keep up your daily reading and learning your timetables ( https://ttrockstars.com/ ). Also remember to access purple mash to complete your online To Do tasks. (www.purplemash.co.uk )

Guided ReadingLO: To explore vocabularyApproximate time: 30 minutes. Useful link:

ACTIVITY – Read the information below and complete the task.

The glossary for the text above has gone missing! Create a glossary for the words in bold. Use a dictionary or google to help you – remember some words have multiple meanings so choose which one matches the word in context.

CHALLENGE- Find the meanings of three new or unfamiliar words you discover in your own reading book.

LiteracyLO: To create expanded noun phrases which add detail and description. Approximate time: 1 hourUseful link: ACTIVITY – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhEoRVNJfDs – a song to recap what an expanded noun phrase is and give you lots of ideas.

First

Now create five expanded noun phrases using the nouns from your table (you could use some of the adjectives given as well as your own ideas). For example – The deep, dark crater.

Finally, write a six sentence space themed story using as many expanded noun phrases as possible. (If you’re feeling ambitious then make it a full story)

Here is a starter sentence to get you going:The lonely astronaut stepped onto the cold, grey surface.

CHALLENGE: Can you include prepositional phrases in your examples. For example – The deep, dark crater on the moon. MathsLO: To divide numbers up to 4 digits by a one digit number using short division. Approximate time: 1 hourUseful link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLze82Zcc4Y – here is short division without remainders. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FApcjdAhnrY – here is short division with decimal remainders

STARTER – https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button Practise your division facts on hit the button.

ACTIVITY – First try these short divisions using smaller numbers.

Now have a go with four digits to help complete the chef’s incomplete recipe.

Finally, have a go at correcting this problem

CHALLENGE:

ScienceLO: To explore the movement and arrangement of the planets. Approximate time: 1 – 2 hours. Useful link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGVXyCrpUn8 this video explores all the odd orbits in our solar system.

ACTIVITY –

First read the information below.

A solar system is a star and all the objects that orbit around it. These might include planets, asteroids, moons and comets.

The star at the centre of our solar system is called the Sun and it is a ball of hot gas. It gives out heat and light. It is the gravity of the Sun which keeps the planets orbiting around it.

There are eight planets orbiting the Sun at different speeds:

Uranus takes 84 years

Neptune takes 165 years

Mercury takes 88 days

Jupiter takes 12 years

Mars takes 687 days

Venus takes 225 days

Saturn takes 29.5 years

Earth takes 365 days

Each of the planets orbiting the Sun also spins or rotates.

The Earth takes 24 hours to rotate on its axis.

The planets have their own gravity and so have objects, such as moons, orbiting around them. The Earth has one moon which takes 28 days to complete an orbit around our planet.

The planets have got jumbled. Can you rewrite the list so that the planet are ordered from closest to furthest from the sun (the length of the orbit gives you a clue)

Next,Create a model of the solar system. Remember to think about the size and distance.

You could draw it, build it or even make it out of fruit! Below are some images for
