Home Learning Activities for Week 4 (Week Beginning 25th January)

Submitted by Mrs Ferrier on
week 4

Hello Year 5! Well done for another fantastic week of remote learning! It’s been great to see the work you have been uploading, as well as photos of you getting outside and being active, your drawings and other creations and some impressive baking skills this week. 

This week we will continue to set you English and Maths work during the live Zoom sessions. If you miss the maths input, please check in with your teacher during one of the drop-in zooms if you are unsure of the written methods we are using. Similarly, if you miss the Thursday and Friday Literacy sessions, please ensure you have read the relevant chapters of Wonder that are uploaded so you don’t lose track of what is happening in the story.

Below is a selection of different activities for you to have a go at throughout the week. All activities can be found under the 'Isolation' tab unless we are providing a direct link, in which case it will be under the 'Links' tab.

Week 4 Activities:

Topic: All about the ‘The Space Race’ from our own planet, Earth.

Science: Friction: Can you build your own hovercraft?

Computing: Continuing with vector drawings.

Art: A guide to creating a 3-D rocket sculpture.

PE/Games: Have a go at this week’s Supermovers challenge: Alien Arcade.  You can also choose an activity from the Southern Area Sports #2021 Challenge to keep yourself active.

Keep up the great work Year 5!
