Year 5 Topic Home Learning - 08.02.21 - 12.01.21
Hello to my wonderful Year 5,
I loved speaking to you all on the phone last week. I know we are all finding it a little bit tough at the moment, but I just want you know that you are all are doing amazing and we will all be back together soon. Don’t ever worry if you are finding the work tricky, please just email me and we can go through the activity together over the phone.
I found this poem and wanted to share it with you all, as the message it sends is so important. Just remember, keep trying your best, keep smiling and we will see each other soon.
The Rainbow Children
By Gemma Peacock
The history books will talk of now,
That time the world stood still.
When every family stayed at home,
Waved out from windowsills-
At those they loved but could not hold,
Because they loved them so.
Yet, whilst they did they noticed all the flowers start to grow.
The sun came out, they can recall,
And windows, rainbows filled.
They kicked a football in their yards,
Until the night drew in.
They walked each day but not too close,
That time the world stood still.
When people walked straight down the roads,
That once the cars did fill.
They saw that people became ill,
They knew the world was scared.
But whilst the world stood still they saw,
How much the whole world cared.
They clapped on Thursdays from their doors,
They cheered for the brave.
For people who would risk their lives,
So others could be saved.
The schools closed down, they missed their friends,
They missed their teachers so.
Their Mam’s and Dad’s helped with their work,
They help their minds to grow.
The parents used to worry that,
As school were put on hold,
Their children wouldn’t have the tools,
They’d need as they grew old.
But history book will talk of them,
Now adults, fully grown.
Those little boys and girls back then,
The ones who stayed at home.
They’ll tell you that they fixed this world,
Of all they would fulfil.
The rainbow children building dreams,
They’d dreamed whilst time stood still.

PE
Big Question: Can I set myself goals and challenges?
For today’s PE lesson, I would like you to have a go at the bleep test. The bleep test is a fitness test, people use the bleep test to help improve their fitness. There are lots of different levels, the video will tell you which level you are on. The levels increate in difficulty each time, this means that the amount of time between each bleep reduces.
On the video you will hear 1 bleep, this means go. When you hear that bleep, you need to try to make it from one side of your garden to the other (ideally this should be done outside unless your adults are happy for you to do it inside). You need to make it to other side of the garden/room before the next bleep sounds.
I would like you to set yourself a goal. Which level would you like to get too? If you manage to get past level 4 that is amazing! I would then like you to see if you can achieve your goal. You might want to do the bleep test 3 or 4 times, see if you can improve your level or speed each time however if you do this, I would spread it out over the week rather than doing the test 4 times in one day!
Friday

Big Question: Can I identify different human and physical features?
