Keep doing your 10 minute a day Sat Buster tests and your reading comprehension exercises (3 per week) In addition to all these here are this week’s activities. If printing off is a problem, don’t worry, just write your answers on a separate piece of paper.
There is no need to print work off. Just work from the screen and write your answers on a separate piece of paper.
Leisure Poem recitation.mp4Literacy
This week in Literacy we will be making a close study of the poem: Leisure by William Henry Davies. I set aside some of my time this week to learn the poem off by heart. Watch the video of me reciting the poem.
Poem analysis and writing task.mp4Reading response
After you have looked carefully at the poem, look at my analysis of the poem in this video.
Leisure writing task explained.docxWriting
Use the structure of the poem to help you write your own Stanzas. Think about using rhyming couplets and making it scan, matching the rhythm of the original. Here are some stanzas I wrote to give you an idea of the structure.

This week’s reading comprehension is on the poem Leisure. There are three levels of difficulty. Either work your way through the levels or pick a level – remember to challenge yourself!

I have really enjoyed rereading this book. I read it for the first time when I was about your age and loved the beginning of the book the most. Now I find I enjoy the whole book, especially the end...............no spoilers!
TL TW TW Vocab and RC Questions.pdfAs you finish each chapter test your knowledge of the chapter by answering the comprehension questions. At the end of the book, take a test on Accelerated Reading. If you do well, you could score 6 points!

Grab a piece of paper and a pencil and start the spelling video for this week’s spelling test. Some of the words are taken from the Yr 5/6 spelling bee list, which is in your homework diary. Some of the words relate to our Science topic on changes in materials. At the end of the video, I will go through the answers so that you can mark your work yourself.

Do the new arithmetic paper and then afterwards check your answers which are at the end of the paper. Try to beat your score from last week.
Keep your tables ticking over by doing an online tables test . We usually do 80 questions division and multiplication up to 12 times table.
Maths
In maths we will be revising decimals, percentages and fractions and converting from one to the other. Watch this video about the relationship between fractions and decimals. Have pencil and paper to hand so that you can pause the video and work out the examples.

Find out how much you have learnt about reversible and irreversible change by doing this end of unit assessment. When you have finished, use the answer sheet to mark your own work.
Reversible and Irreversible Changes.pdfScience Investigation
I know you all love doing Science investigations so this week there are two investigations which you could try out at home. Remember to ask your parent’s permission first. This investigation is all about dissolving and is similar to the type of investigation we would do in school.
Dissolving- home experiement.pdfScience Investigation
I have been seeing lots of Rainbows at the moment, put up in support of the NHS. I thought you might like making your own rainbows in this experiment.

This week we will look at how governments are elected in the UK. Watch this video which will explain the process.
IPC
Look at the Powerpoint which gives further details about elections and voting. Play close attention to all the information and at the end, fill in this worksheet. The answers are at the end of the sheet so you can find out how many you scored.

Finally, imagine that you are going to stand in the next election as an MP (member for Parliament). Think about what you and your party might write in your Manifesto. A manifesto is a list of aims and promises that a party make to encourage voters to vote for them. Use the writing frame to help you to structure your ideas. Think very carefully about what is important to you. What priorities would you have if you were elected to parliament.

This week we are building on the skills we used last week coding using Turtle. Go to Purple Mash and log in as a Year 5 or Year 6. Go to tools, coding Turtle. Complete the 6 activities and try to improve on your scores from last week. At every step there is a short video tutorial to help you if you get stuck. Happy coding!
IT
Use data generated from some science investigations to do some data handling. Go to Purple Mash and log in as a Year 5 or Year 6. Go to 2 graph. Use different graphs to display the data collected here. When you have finished your different graphs, save them into your folders. I look forward to seeing all the work you have done! If you have access to Excel, you might also like to try to create some of the graphs using this program.
Data Handling.docxIT E-Safety
Everybody is spending a lot more time online. It’s really important that we think about our online safety. Watch the video . Pause when the video asks you to and think carefully about what you would do in each situation.
Art
As part of a whole school art project, this week we would like you to do a coloured picture. This could be of your hand, a heart or ............anything else that brings to mind the inspirational work that the NHS are doing for us at this difficult time. However, there is a rule.........Yr 5 children must only use the colour purple to colour their art work and Yr 6 children must only use the colour dark blue to colour. This is because we would like to put all the pictures together to create a giant rainbow and every year group will paint one of the seven colours of the rainbow! It would be great if you could email me a picture of your artwork. Here are two pictures that Ellie's children did this week.
Yr 5 use purple
Yr 6 use dark blue
Dance
Go to our music and dance page and take a dance class with Orit! Do the warm up first and then have fun dancing 'at the hop!' This is a dance you learned with Orit in school. Dance along and see if you can remember all the steps.
Brain Teasers and Puzzles.pptxPuzzle Corner
Keep your brains fit and active! Improve your memory skills! Try this Powerpoint of brain teasers and puzzles. Share with your families. Who can be the quickest to solve?
Good luck with all your homework. Remember, we would love to see some of the work you have been doing at home. Share your rainbow pictures and poetry. Send us a video of yourself 'at the hop'! We look forward to hearing from you all. Contact Helen, Ellie and Shah using this email address: year5.6@swbschool.net we will display some of your work on the home learning website and who knows, you might be chosen as a Star of the Week!
