Year 5 Remote School 2021 Spring 1

The format of our remote learning will be in the format of daily videos and learning attached on the Year 5 page on the school website. We will provide English, Maths and one foundation subject per day. In addition to this, the pupils will be expected to read for at least 15 minutes a day, spend 15 minutes practising times tables (Times Tables Rockstars) and 15 minutes on spellings.

Good morning Year 5! Today we are starting a new topic in English so watch the video to find out what we're going to be up to.

Getting fresh air and exercise is so important for our physical and mental health and we should be going out every day for our daily exercise. Today after you watch the video I would like you to go out on a walk with your adults and map out some locations you visit and write some descriptions of these. We are using our local area as inspiration for our writing. You can do this activity as part of your daily walk/exercise. Once you're back then you can complete the rest of your activities. If you are isolating and unable to go out, don't worry. Just think about places close by and map out a journey you know already.

Remember to use exciting adjectives and expanded noun phrases in your descriptions. Can you challenge yourself to include figurative language too?

Timings:

Video: 18 minutes (plus extra for pausing)

Walking activity: 15-20 minutes

Extraordinary descriptions: 20 minutes

Map drawing: 10 minutes

Self-assess your learning afterwards using the answer sheet. If you've made any mistakes, can you spot where and why it happened? Do not worry, remember, making mistakes is normal! Us adults make mistakes all the time and learning from our mistakes is such an important part of the learning process

Hola classe de Y5. ¿Cómo estás? Well done for you super dictionary searching last lesson. We are going to practise our new vocabulary today and then learn to verbs that we will use for sports.

Then, have a go at the activity worksheet and make sure to self-assess your learning once you're finished using the '18.1 Verbs Answers'.
