Spelling :
Spelling Shed – new lists have been recently set up for our class. Once you have mastered each list on the easy mode, have a go at medium or hard
difficulty. You can access the entire Y5/6 statutory spelling list on our school website.
Complete both of these activities and send your completed tasks to Mr Wood on class dojo or using the class email address.
Guided Reading 1
This half-term we are focusing our attention on poetry. Research and write down the names of some famous poems and see if you recognise them.
Watch some of the videos in this link https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z4mmn39/resources/1 and select a poem that you like. On a piece of
paper or using ICT skills, write out and present the poem with illustrations and other interesting presentation tools.
You may wish to use fancy writing for words that you think should stand out, illustrations of key characters or events, or flaps and sliding parts to
make your presented poem stand out.
Please make sure that you send photos of the work to Mr Wood on Dojo or bring it into school when you return.
Maths Decimals
One lesson per day: https://classroom.thenational.academy/units/decimals-8526
Practise times tables:
TTRockStars – download the app or visit the website. There have been some changes to this in Year 5 but do not be worried if it is asking your child
to complete similar times tables repeatedly. The aim is to master all 12 times tables.
Design
Technology
This half term we are designing and building toys with moving parts. Watch the youtube video of toys made by year 5 children in another school.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYtSpnO2juI
What did you think of their designs?
How did they achieve the movement of the characters on top of their designs?
I would like you to sketch and label a picture of a moving cam toy like in the video. Add colour and label the materials needed for each part of the
toy. Lastly, think about the movements that you want to achieve and how you might be able to do that. Watch the video again, if needed.
Science Forces – effects on movement

we previously studied in the Autumn term. You may wish to create a phrase book all about you as part of this task and write the Spanish words,
phrases and sentences that you know so far (name/ age/ birthday/ where you live/ brothers and sisters – plus anything else that you remember!).
Physical

On the following pages there are a selection of maths and spelling tasks that can be completed in addition to
the activities set in the table above. Mr Wood would love to see any evidence of the work that you are doing,
including from the activities below.
Maths Practice Tasks
Know by heart the multiplication facts up to 12X12.
Example: 3 x 7 = 21 and 21 ÷ 7 = 3 Suggestion: Remember the times
tables skip counting rhymes from
class and sing them in a range of
silly voices.
Please refer to the booklet we sent home: How to Learn Times-Table, which is full of ideas of how to learn them. Also available on our website.
Compare and order fractions.
Example:
Suggestion: Create some fractions
using items in your house (e.g. Lego)
and then compare the two fractions.
Explaining which fraction is greater.
Round whole numbers to the nearest
10, 100, 1000
Example: 231,435
Nearest 10 = 231,440
Nearest 100 = 231,400
Nearest 1000 = 231,000
Suggestion:
Roll a dice
3/4/5/6 times
to create a number. Round the number to
the nearest 10, 100 and 1000 (as above).
Draw a number line to help you round if
you need to.
Use a written method for division (Please refer to our
school’s Calculations Policy, which is in line with Lancashire’s)
Suggestion: Draw 4 playing cards and divide a 3-digit
number by the remaining digit value (see below)
Read, write and convert between units of
time.
Suggestion: find out the times of your
favourite cartoons or TV programmes.
Convert the times into 24-hour, digital
and analogue times.
Estimate the area of irregular
shapes by counting squares.
Example: 42cm2 Suggestion: draw irregular shapes or pictures on squared paper and estimate the area of the shape that you have drawn.
Complete, read and interpret information
in tables, including timetables.
Example: What time does the next train
arrive at Buckshaw? How many minutes
until another one will arrive?
Suggestion: examine the timetables at
bus stops and train stations. Figure out
when trains/ busses are due to arrive
and depart different stations or how
often they arrive at that stop.
Spelling Practice Tasks
Please refer to the booklet ‘How to Learn Spellings’, which is full of ideas of how to learn them. Also available on our website.
Using dictionaries to create word webs
Many words belong to word families where the root word is used to
create many other words.
Suggestion: Create a word web (like the one below) for any of the
words from this list
definite/ unhelpfulness/ quadrilateral/ disaster/ signature/
microscope
Plurals: adding ‘-s’, ‘-es’ and ‘-ies’
Rules for plurals:
For most nouns, just add -s. Add –es to nouns that end in ch, sh, s, x and z.
For nouns ending in a y, change the y to an i and as –es. Unless there is a vowel before the y, then just add -s
Suggestion: Choose any nouns and practise using the rules to turn a
singular into a plural e.g. one box, many boxes.
Year 5 Statutory Spellings
Children should regularly practise these so
they can confidently read and spell them by
the end of year 5.

cemetery amateur secretary persuade lightning
government excellent desperate rhyme determined
communicate ancient shoulder physical muscle
hindrance existence vegetable explanation develop
community available soldier programme neighbour
individual interfere familiar dictionary conscience

possible.
Hyphenated Words

modify and act as a single idea
Examples to practise: part-time/ time-out/ two-faced/ head-on/ get-together/ follow-up/
deep-fried

hyphenated words e.g. co-own.
