Year 5 Home learning - Week beginning 18-05-20
Hello to my lovely Year 5 class. I am missing you all terribly and am looking forward to the day we are all back at school together. I hope you have all had a great week and have been keeping yourselves busy. When I have spoken to some of you on the phone over the past couple of weeks, I have been so proud of how positive you are all being. It is amazing to hear about all the fantastic things you have been getting up and I am so impressed with how many of you are completing learning tasks at home.
It has been lovely to receive messages from some of you over the past couple of weeks. A few of you have mentioned how excited you are about returning to school (which is excellent) but have also shared that you are nervous to. It is normal to feel nervous about coming back to school with everything that has happened but I can assure you that when we do come back, every member of staff at Winshill Village will be there to support you. Erin, well done for unscrambling the anagram I set and identifying that I had missed a letter! I was not to try to catch you out, I think I need to proof read my writing more carefully! Remember if you have any questions, worries or just want to let me know what you have been up to, you can send me a message through the school website.
Once again, I am so impressed by the learning I can see taking place through the Homelearning Showcase. Erin, it’s fantastic that you celebrated VE day and I have to say those scones looked delicious! Jenna, I thought your telephone was amazing! You should be so proud of yourself. Kaden, that rainbow looks fantastic, I hope you enjoyed the experiment. Alexia, you should be so proud of your parachute! It’s amazing, well done! Henley, your Lego Space Shuttle is incredible, great job. Maja, where do I start? I can see you have been extremely busy! Your phone is fantastic, I would definitely buy one! I love that you have written instructions alongside it and your diary entry is brilliant. You have also done a fantastic job with the reading challenges, you should be really proud of yourself. Remember, you can share what you have been up to at home with me through the Homelearning Showcase.
I have now uploaded Chapter 9 of Journey to the Centre of the Earth. You can access the video through our Reading and Storytime page or go directly to our Youtube Channel. We have also uploaded a little video message from the staff to the children to show them how much we are missing them.
Below are your homelearning activities for this week. Please remember that they are optional and there are lots of other options for homelearning tasks available on the Year 5 class page. I have also decided to start putting together mark schemes, so that if you are completing my homelearning challenges, you can mark your work if you want to.
Here are the mark schemes for last weeks challenges on the Year 5 Blog - Week beginning 11-05-20.
Reading Answers - I have attached the next few pages of ‘World’s Worst Teachers’. You need to read the pages to find out Mr Phobe’s fear!

Maths Challenges
Challenge 1: Word problems
Read the word problems carefully so you know which operation to use. Remember there are 4 operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Challenge 2: Missing number addition and multiplication problems
Your second challenge this week is to solve some missing number addition and multiplication problems. Remember, we can always use the inverse when solving a missing number addition or multiplication problem because we always have the bigger number. There are some examples below if you would like some support.
1. 456 + ? = 908
2. ? + 5,678 = 10,987
3. 4.5 + ? = 9.7
4. ? + 23,567 = 87,654
5. 9,087 + ? = 13,256
6. ? + 478 = 9,875
7. 1.34 + ? = 8.97
8. ? + 23,451 = 54,890
9. 243 + ? = 678
10. ? + 9.2 = 15.4
11. ? x 7 = 28
12. 8 x ? = 768
13. ? x 6 = 108
14. 3 x ? = 156
15. ? x 4 = 348
16. 7 x ? = 336
17. ? x 9 = 234
18. 4 x ? = 44
