The main activities for today’s maths lesson are a bit different. We are going to be having a mental Friday! No, we have not gone completely mad yet but today you will be focusing on your mental mathematics skills. Attached above are the following sheets we would like you to have a go at (you have done them before in school so you should know what to do:
 
Diamond Dash sheets Have a go at as many or as few as you like in the allotted times:
Emerald (as long as you need)
Pearl (5 minutes)
Ruby (5 minutes)
Saphire (6 minutes)
Bronze  (7 minutes)
Silver  (8 minutes)
Gold (Time how long it takes you to say all of the times tables from 1×1 up to 12×12. Can you beat your score?)
 
Beat that challenge sheet (100 seconds)
 
Rockstars baseline test (You have 5 minutes)
 
Once you have completed the sheets, please spend some time doing Times Table Rock Stars (https://play.ttrockstars.com) and some of the mental multiplication and division games found here:
 
Here is a video with Mr Lai, can you beat his Times Table Rock Stars score in 1 minute!? He has to buy a chocolate bar for every child that does!😂
 
 
Maths challenge/extension:
 
No extensions today. Just do as much of the above as you can and attempt the different games found at the website!
 
 
 
Literacy: 
In Literacy, this week we will be starting our work on The Firework Maker’s Daughter.
 
I have been very pleased with the effort many of you who have produced who are home learning. It will not take you long to get back into learning when you return on 8th March. However, some of you seem to have forgotten how much writing we require when completing a longer piece of writing and we have not had any writing back from a number of you (4/5MI have only had 3 back, 4/5MO have only had 4 back and 4/5L have had only 6 back)!
I would like you to look at my example of Lila’s letter (see above) and then have another go.
 
Checklist:
Have you used amazing vocabulary?
Are there at least four paragraphs ? One is not enough!
Have you added descriptive noun phrases?
Have you ensured that each sentence starts with a new ISPACE opener?
Have you used the correct tense?
Check punctuation (there is no excuse for missing capitals and full stops).
Read it through. Does it make sense?
 
Then have another go – and send back to school.
 
I am looking forward to your return on 8th March.

 

Mr Milfull
 
The resources for this week’s literacy can be found here:  http://www.rooksnestacademy.co.uk/my-class/year-4-and-5-home-learning/
 
If you are one of the children who have done all of the above on the checklist thank you and a big well done. Please up-level the letter you did as Lila to her father in blue pen and then complete the sheet on active and passive voice attached – answers included (there is also a PowerPoint attached on active and passive voice which should give you a hand). To reiterate ONLY do this if you have completed the letter.
 
 

Art:

Create your very own firework artwork. This can be done using paint (ideally or crayons).
 
Using some cardboard rolls create different length ‘firework’ fans for printing with paint. The print pattern created by the cardboard roll fans mimics that of fireworks brilliantly and you can create as many different size and coloured fireworks as you like.

You will need coloured paint (we have only chosen 4 colours), large sheets of paper and cardboard tubes.

Cut the cardboard tubes into different lengths (and shapes) as shown in the photo, to create different size/shape firework prints.

Do not place the cardboard tubs into the paint until you are ready to use them because after a while the cardboard strips become soft and will break off after they have been in the wet paint for some time.

If you do not have paint don’t worry – just draw some colourful fireworks! The kind that Lila would be proud of!

We look forward to seeing your superb paintings/artwork!

 

Finishing off bits:
Have a look back over this week’s learning have you completed all of the French/ICT/Topic/Science/PE? If not, today is the day to catch up and finish off anything you have missed.

In Literacy, this week we will be starting our work on The Firework Maker’s Daughter.
 
Today you will be writing your letter, as Lila, to her father explaining how she feels and what she plans to do. You should use the 2 planning sheets you completed on Tuesday to help you. The planning sheets (2a and 2b) are also reattached in case you need them.
 
Think about how the letter would be written. Would it be formal or informal? How would Lila write to her father? Think about the 2 different characters and their relationship.
Challenge: Include a relative clause/parenthesis in your writing.
 

ICT:

The above link takes you to a great program to promote touch typing! Touch typing allows you to type without looking at the keyboard when you master it! Try to follow the instructions and use ALL your fingers and not just your index fingers. Start off at level 1 and continue through the different stages but remember to use the correct method. Quality over speed and amount otherwise you will get into bad habits. This is an important skill not just for now but as you all get older and get jobs!

Design Technology:

For our first design technology (DT) lesson yesterday you should have created your marble run. Please finish off your marble runs today and then evaluate your marble run using the sheet attached. Evaluating your finished design is a very important part of technology!

Please also find the re-attached sheet with simple instructions on how to create the marble run in case anyone needs it again. Feel free to be inventive and extend your marble run to make it more imaginative, exciting and include more twists and turns!

Who can make the most complex marble run?

We look forward to seeing your completed marbles runs and reading your evaluations!

Extension add some more items/buildings to the different columns to further demonstrate your understanding.

E.g.

The Bible = Christianity      The Quran = Islam     The Vedas = Hinduism

(These are the different holy books/scriptures)

 

Chinese New Year

San Nin Fai Lok everybody! (Happy new year in Chinese)

 
Today is Chinese New Year and it is the year of the Ox.  Read the story on the PowerPoint to find out why each year is represented by a different animal and which poor animal didn’t get included! Once you have done that, create a zodiac wheel of the 12 animals with the years it represents with an illustration of each one. There is an example zodiac wheel included too. You can then find out what animal represents you and your family based on the year you were born!
 
2020 = Rat
2021 = Ox
2022= Tiger

Guided Reading:

SPAG activity:
Using relative clauses – remember your punctuation. Commas, dashes or brackets AND full stops/capital letters
 
 
Maths:
Recap:
Adding fractions with different denominators
Remember to turn BOTH denominators into the same number. Then add them together. You can simplify your answer or write it as a mixed number where possible.
On these questions one of the fractions you are adding together will fit into the other fraction, so you only need to change one of the fractions then add tem together.
E.g.
1/3 + 1/9 = (you have to turn the 1/3 into 9ths). Remember you have to do the same to the top AND the bottom
1 x 3 = 3
3 x 3 = 9
3/9 +1/9 = 4/9
 
The main activities for today’s maths lesson are attached above. If you are in year 4 you will be looking at writing decimals and you have one activity above (green sheets).
If you are in year 5 you will be adding and subtracting decimals and you have two activities above (purple sheets).

Have a go at writing sentences for each pair of homophones – the sentence can be a bit silly – but needs to make sense! Do you know the meaning of all the words?
 
E.g. Mr Lai blew the blue ball across the floor.
Mr Milfull rowed down the road in his boat that he had mistaken for a car!
Mr Morrell couldn’t wait to meet the butcher, who was delivering his daily supply of meat.
 
 
Maths:
Recap:
Reducing fractions. Please see sheet attached above. Explained in the video. Very similar to yesterday’s equivalent fractions recap activity.
 
 

The main activities for today’s maths lesson are attached above. If you are in year 4 you will be looking at fractions of quantities (If you found this easy yesterday and are confident you have a solid understanding of this important skill please start on section C, which involves converting units of measure, or start straight on the extension).

 If you are in year 5 you will be multiplying fractions by whole numbers. Please start on the section you feel appropriate. Answers are included. Here is a video with Mr Lai to help you and make it clear which activities we would like you to complete 🙂
 
 

Remember on the sheets with section A B and C on only complete the section you would normally start on, if you normally start on B in school don’t start on A. If you are unsure start on B or ask your class teacher. Furthermore, if you complete a few on section A/B and are finding it easy. Please move onto the next section. Don’t complete the whole of each section!

We feel the literacy has taken more time than expected this week and have not yet received many explanation texts so please finish off the explanation texts or up-levelling and send them in.
If you have finished please look at the week 4 overview for Thursday/Friday’s lessons, you will be planning and writing an explanation text on tsunamis, the resources for this are attached above (planning sheet and fact file to help).
If you want to have a go great! If not please just complete the SPAG today, the other lessons and enjoy hunting for birds!

Yesterday you researched the salvation army and created a poster outlining what they do and how it links to Christianity.
Today we would like you to recreate that poster (or a new one) using ICT = This can be on a computer, iPad, laptop or anything as long as it counts as ICT!
I am sure many of you know about new-fangled apps that can be used to make posters and colourful images. Feel free to use these. Alternatively, use Microsoft publisher/PowerPoint or word. We do not mind!
Your poster should be able to tell an alien who has never been to Earth before all they need to know about the Salvation Army!
 
If you cannot access any of the above and cannot complete the poster using ICT please continue with hour of code:
 
 

Finishing off bits:
Have a look back over this week’s learning have you completed all of the French/ICT/Topic/Science/PE? If not, today is the day to catch up and finish off anything you have missed.

When you send your home learning back today, please let us know what you think of the WhiteRose teaching videos. Do you find them more, or less helpful than the videos done by Mr Morrell/Mr Lai? Or did it not really make much difference? Would you like to see more/less of these WhiteRose maths teaching videos or a mixture between these and Mr Lai/Morrell? 
We appreciate your feedback! Thank you🙂

Topic:
 
As part of our Religion topic, we will be looking at Christianity over the next couple of weeks.
For today’s lesson we want you to watch/read the links below and find out what Christianity is, who Jesus was and why he is important. If you were in school, we would be doing this as a discussion lesson with little writing apart from maybe a few notes, so if your parents/carers/siblings have time have a discussion with them. We don’t need to see written evidence for this lesson. Just tell us if you have done it and maybe an interesting fact you have found out🙂
Feel free to use other websites than just the one below.
 
 
Music:
Pentatonic scale. Please see sheet above and Mrs Wilcox’s help video below:
