Hello Yr 5 and 6. I hope you and your families are staying safe and well. This week, some Year 6 are back in school - welcome back! For those of you not going back, this home learning web page will give you most of the work you would have been doing in school.
Thank you to everyone who has logged on to all the online learning sites. Make sure you try to log on every day to do at least one activity. I would love to see some of the work you are doing for the home learning website. Share it with me by emailing me at:
year5.6@swbschool.net
Watch this week's video to find out what Shah, Ellie and Helen have been up to!
Helen, Ellie Shah week 8.mp4If you would like to share your work please send it to year5.6@swbschool.net Who knows, you may become a star of the week!
A lot of work is set on Accelerated Maths (homework assignment book). You can also finish exercises, tests and diagnostic tests in all the other assignment books. For more maths activities remember to use Mathletics. In addition to subject exercises here, there are also arithmetic tests set for you to do.
Reading: Remember to read every day. I have been checking Accelerated Reading everyday. Well done to the children who completed and passed tests this week. Aim to read a book this week and complete a quiz.
Don’t forget to keep logging into Spag.com too. It is important to keep all those Spag terms fresh in your brains so that you don't forget them.
Thank you to the children who have emailed me to get their log in details for Education City. They were able to access the Science homework here and to access all the fun activities on this site. If you haven’t already done so, email me for your log in details on year5.6@swbschool.net
Keep doing your 10 minute a day Sat Buster tests and your reading comprehension exercises (3 per week) In addition to all of this, here are this week’s activities.
There is no need to print work off. Just work from the screen and write your answers on a separate piece of paper.
A Year 6 Exclusive!
A Year 6 Exclusive!
Last week, I explained how we are trying to put together a Yr 6 Leavers’ book. If you missed this, watch the videos below in which Anthony and I explain what you need to do to be included. Please send your autobiographies to yr5.6@swbschool.net
Leavers' book explanation.mp4Watch this video to find out about what you need to do to be part of the Yr 6 Leavers' Book. More information is included below in this week's writing task.
Copy of Written autobiographies part 1.movWatch Anthony's video which gives you further advice and information about how to write your Leavers' book entry.
Writing
As I haven’t received any written autobiographies yet, I have allowed more time for you to write these.
Use your lap top, I-pad or the device you usually use to type out a short autobiography about your time at Sir William Burrough School. Organise your writing in the correct chronological order ( correct time sequence). For most of you, that will mean you will write about a memory or memories of your time in nursery first. Next, you will write about something from KS1 and finally, you will recall a memory or memories from KS2. You can also pick out memorable events like school trips, excursions, parties and concerts to write about. Write about your friends, T.A.s and teachers. If you joined our school later, then perhaps you can do some memories from your previous school and compare them with memories from Sir William Burrough.
Year 6, these memories will be used in the Leavers’ Book so make sure that when you look back at the book in later years they truly reflect the experience you have had at the school. I would love you to focus on the good things about your time at the school and the things that made your time here so special. Try to sum up the quality of your experience at the school in a paragraph of about two hundred words. Of course, you need to ensure that your writing is correctly spelt with accurate punctuation. This prompt sheet may help to frame your writing.
Please share your autobiographies by emailing them to me at: year5.6@swbschool.net We want every single Year 6 to feature in the book. Year 5, please write about your time at the school too and have fun remembering all the happy times you have had there.
Class of 2020 Leavers' Video
When you have finished your autobiography, think about which parts you would like to include in the Class of 2020 Leavers' Video. Please watch the videos that Anthony, Alan and I have made explaining how you can take part.
Leavers' assembly video.mp4Watch this video for a brief explanation about how every Year 6 can take part in the Class of 2020 Leavers' video.

In maths this week we will be looking finding rules, function machines, writing expressions substituting values into expressions. This is all linked to the mathematical area of algebra.
Watch this video on working out the rule and function machines and then do this sheet on function machines. Once you have done the sheet, mark your work using the answer sheet.

balancing equations 1.mp4Maths
Watch this video on balancing equations. Remember, in algebra everything on one side has to equal everything on the other side. To solve the equation aim to have all your symbols (usually letters) and values (usually numbers) on separate sides of the 'balance scale'.
Solving Equations by Balancing.pptMaths
Work through this Powerpoint to see how letters are collected on one side of the equation and numbers are collected on the other side of the equation.
Go on to Espresso, KS2, Maths, Algebra and have a go at all the activities involving making a pattern that follows a rule, using algebraic expressions and working out missing values. Extension: try writing your own algebraic expressions using this sheet.

us2-e-117-phenomenal-photosynthesis-powerpoint-english_ver_2.pptIPC
Last week, we learned about what is believed by many to be the oldest religion in the world: Hinduism. This religion has roots that go back over four thousand years. This week, we are learning about Sikhism which is one of the world’s youngest religions, being founded just over 500 years ago. Despite being so young, it is the fifth largest religion in the world with over 20 million followers.
If you missed last week’s work on Hinduism, go to week 7 (see below) and learn all about it.
First watch this introduction to Sikhism video.

Finally, watch this video about the Gurpurb (special festival) for Guru Nanak (the founder of Sikhism). Look at the information given here completing this sheet on the symbolism of the 5 K's. Can you write down three similarities and three differences between the Hindu religion and the Sikh religion?
Guru Nanak birthday.mp4Put your knowledge to the test by completing the online activities on Espresso – just put ‘Sikhism’ into the search box.
History
This week I listened to this podcast on the radio. It is all about possibly the richest man who ever lived: Mansa Musa, a Muslim ruler who lived about eight hundred years ago. It interested me a lot so I thought I would share it with you. Listen very carefully because there will be a quiz at the end of it.
Computing - coding
Log on to Purple Mash as a Yr 5 or Yr 6. This week you will be using the 2DIY3D computing tool to design your own computing game. Click on the green arrow in the right hand corner for a tutorial on how to do this. You can save your game in your class folder when you have finished.

Good luck with all your homework. Remember, we would love to see some of the work you have been doing at home. Share your flower pictures or work on Sikhism.
