SNOW DAY - 9.1.26

Good (snowy) morning, Year 5!  

I will provide some links and documents here for 'home learning' if you need something to keep you busy!  However, I would urge you - with parental permission and supervision - to get yourselves out in the snow and have some fun!  Please note that I won't need this work handed in.

ENGLISH

• I have provided a 'word class' quiz for you (don't groan!)  Have a go at identifying the different word classes in each sentence.  Answers are provided, but no peeking!
• Complete the comprehension on 'The Shang Dynasty' (one of the ancient civilisations we looked at yesterday).

MATHS

• Why not take this opportunity to get your homework done?  You could also have a go at the fiendish fractions codebreaker below.  If you need a recap about how to add fractions, I've added a link to a video below.
• Please also access TTRS (or 'Hit the Button' if you can't remember your log in) and spend at least 20 minutes on the times tables you're least comfortable with.

ART

TOPIC

In our book, 'Secrets of the Sun King', Lillian references 'Howard Carter'.  You have also learnt a little about him when you researched Tutankhamun.  Can you produce a short biography about Howard Carter including images?

OR

Use the 'Inspiration Station' document to answer some of the questions provided.  Write as creatively as you can using your wonderful imaginations!

Welcome to Year 5!

What was important to Ancient Egyptians?

Year 5 will be travelling back 5000 years to the dusty realms of ancient Egypt, cruising along the Nile, entering a world of mysteries and curses, mummies and kings.  They will also be finding out about life on the river’s fertile banks, discovering Egypt and its fascinating culture. Along the way, they will unravel the secrets of ancient tombs, using historical sources and age-old artefacts as well as learning about the powerful pharaohs and grandiose gods!

Jigsaw PSHE - Dreams and Goals

In this topic, the children will discuss and consider the following: 

• Their reams and aspirations
• Possible careers and future planning

• How to set realistic and achievable goals

• Facing challenges and setbacks

• Identify personal strength

• How to best work with others

There is a wonderful website below that is useful for your child and for you as a parent. It has games and information about feelings, health, illnesses and sections on body image, mental health and much more. There is also a section for you, the parent, to refer to for information on the school nurse and it shows local Solihull support services.
