Greek food tasting!

A huge thank you to Miss Vidler for providing year 5 with some delicious Greek food to taste, as a fitting finale to our IPC topic, The Bold and The Brave.

The children had the option of sampling hummus, olives, raisins, celery, grapes, flat bread, ciabatta bread and green beans.  For many of the children, it was their first taste of some of these foods.

Here are some of the comments from the children:

I enjoyed the flat bread.  It was not only flavoursome, but also quite powdery.’ – Lucy.

I enjoyed the grapes the best because they were juicy and delicious.’ – Madison.

I liked the flat bread and the ciabatta bread – they were both very nice.’ – Charlotte.

I loved the flat bread with the hummus because it tasted like coleslaw.  I’d recommend this Greek food!’ – Matilda.

RE

This week we will be finding what the key beliefs of Muslims are and how this affects their life.

One of the most important beliefs in Islam and forms one of the five pillars of Islam. The Shahadah says ‘I witness that there is no other god but Allah, and Muhammad is the prophet of Allah’.   Watch the first 1min 30seconds of this videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2OepFfxZVI

The Sharhadah is used in two ways: call to prayer  www.islamcan.com/audio/adhan/index.shtml

and the first words a newborn baby hears (the father whispers the words into the baby’s ear).

Activity 1 – what belief or value is so important to you that you would shout it form the roof tops?

Activity 2 – Read this story about Bilal (the first Muezzin) http://mmiweb.org.uk/microsites/religiousstories/muslim/bilal.pdf

Now decide (with evidence) what mattered most to Bilal.  Was it his work, his own comfort, using the gifts God gave him, being loyal to his friends, serving Allah, escaping from slavery, preserving his own life, praying, following the prophet, obeying his master, fashionable clothes, helping other people?

Need a new book?

Oxford Owl has reading books for each level for you to read .

https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/

Find a new book to read or listen to one on here: https://magicblox.com

Spelling: Continue with your learning and revision of the Year 3 & 4 and 5 & 6 spelling lists and the spelling activities included in the Oak Academy English lessons.

Try this https://spellingframe.co.uk to practise your spellings.  There are many free activities that you can do.   If there is a particular spelling pattern that you were unsure of when completing your Read Write Inc spelling book, have a look at www.spellingframe.co.uk for that pattern and practise it.

SPAG: Turn to pages 16, 17, 18 & 19  of your CGP Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling book to find some work on relative clauses; this will support the work you are doing in English this week.

 

Maths: Like English, this week you will be continuing with a series of online lessons from the Oak National Academy.  You will need a sharp pencil and your home learning book (or paper) to write your answers down.
Monday Day 1: This week we will be learning about converting units of measure. In this lesson you will be converting seconds, minutes and hours.  We will start with a revision of time facts. As the lesson develops, we will hone our skills of converting between seconds, minutes and hours and by the end of this lesson, you will be solving time-related problems on a blank number line whilst also converting units of time.

https://www.thenational.academy/year-5/maths/to-convert-between-seconds-minutes-and-hours-year-5-wk3-1

 

Tuesday Day 2:   In lesson 2 of our unit on converting measures, we will be deepening our understanding by solving time problems and representing them using bar models. We will work through several problems together which will increase in difficulty. By the end of this lesson, you will have explored the underlying structures which help us convert units of time and solve problems.

https://www.thenational.academy/year-5/maths/to-solve-problems-involving-converting-between-hours-and-minutes-year-5-wk3-2

Wednesday Day 3:  In lesson 3 of our unit on converting measures, we are going to focus on converting between units of length. We will start with a revision of conversion facts between millimetres, centimetres, metres and kilometres. Using these facts, we will apply these to some real-life problems around the Olympics. We will also bring in non-standard units thinking about how many laps different track races at the Olympics are.

https://www.thenational.academy/year-5/maths/to-convert-between-units-of-length-year-5-wk3-3

 

Thursday Day 4:   In the fourth lesson of this unit, we will continue to look at length. We will apply everything we have learnt about length so far and apply it to some example of real-life problems. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to convert different units of length so that you can spot errors and solve logistical problems.

https://www.thenational.academy/year-5/maths/to-apply-length-conversions-to-problems-year-5-wk3-4

 

Friday Day 5:  In lesson 5 of our unit on converting measurements, we will be combining our knowledge of perimeter and converting units to find the perimeter of rectilinear shapes.

https://www.thenational.academy/year-5/maths/to-find-the-perimeter-and-convert-units-of-measurements-year-5-wk3-5

 

Turn to pages 44, 45, 46 & 47  of your CGP Grammar, Year 5 Maths book to find some work on Metric and Imperial Units;

this will support the work you are doing in Maths this week.
