Good morning Year 5! Welcome to all 5U and 5K pupils. Thank you for coming on to virtual school today. We would like you to log into virtual school every day to access the learning. It is crucial that we maintain a routine that is as close as possible to a normal school day during the next two weeks. New learning will be available each weekday. Don’t hesitate to ask if you need any support or just want to check-in. Remember to tweet your work @hillstoneps. Make sure you leave a comment every day so we know you’re here (each day’s comments section will be used to take a register). Most importantly, make sure to stay safe! Have a great day!

Fantastic news! You can now send your work to us for feedback by uploading it here. Please make sure that you have your name on each piece of work that you submit. Additionally, if you have any questions that you’d prefer to ask your teacher privately, send them to year5@hillstone.org.uk

A special mention goes to Scarlett who is our Hillstone Star for the week.

9:00-9:10

Let’s the start the day off with some early morning work! Give it a good go! – Make sure you have left a comment to let us know you’re here too!

Writing

9:10-10:00

Today we will revisit the use of parentheses in our writing.

When we’re writing, we can add extra words to a sentence to give more information or explanation.

We call the extra words that have been added a parenthesis.

Brackets, dashes or commas (punctuation that we use to help us add those extra words) are sometimes called parentheses. Notice the slight difference in spelling.

Watch this video to learn more about this. If you’re feeling energetic, get up and join in with the song!

Parenthesis can also show words that have been added to a sentence as an ‘afterthought’ – something you maybe didn’t intend to say at first, but decided to add later to help you explain something.

Read through the information below on how brackets, dashes and commas are used for parenthesis, and to see further examples.

Brackets

Brackets are a useful form of punctuation and look like this: ( )

They always come in pairs and are placed around extra information that has been added to a sentence.

Brackets allow you to start writing about something, then to break off for a moment to add in some extra information related to what you’re saying, and then to go back to finish what you had started to write.

An important point is that if you leave out the words in a sentence that have been placed in brackets, your sentence should still make sense.

Compare these two sentences:

Albert the alien (who had no training) was in charge of the wrecking ball.

Albert the alien was in charge of the wrecking ball.

The extra information ‘(who had no training)‘ has been removed in the second sentence, but it still makes sense when we read it.

Dashes and commas

Instead of a pair of brackets, you can also use a pair of dashes (– –) or a pair of commas (, ,) to add extra information to a sentence.

Like brackets, these always come in pairs and are placed around the extra information added to the sentence.

Look at these examples, the first with commas and the second with dashes:

Albert the alien, who was feeling hungry, went for his lunch break.

Albert the alien – and he was shocked to discover this – had left his packed lunch at home.

They both work in a similar way to brackets:

Albert the alien (annoyingly!) had to go all the way back to this home planet to get his lunch.

Choose one of the worksheet packs below based on how confident you are with parentheses.

Music

Join us in attempting some music from the Derbyshire Music Home Learning Hub

Try to copy this complex clapping rhythm (you can stop the video and rehearse each part separately) put it all together or as much as you can.

Back to the 80s challenge

• Do a bit of research to find the names of five pop groups who were around in the 1980s. You could use the internet for this, or you could ask a family member (it’s likely that they know a lot about this!)
• Choose one of these groups and find out the names of 5 of their songs.
• Listen to at least one of these songs and think about what you like and/or dislike about it?
• Have a talk with someone in your house about what they think about the song too… think about if this music sounds different from what you normally listen to.

Rhythm dots: household music-making challenge

Have a search around your house and find 2 items that can make a short sound when tapped, moved or shaken. These will be your ‘sound-makers’.

Open the document we’ve prepared below. You can either print this out or view on you device. You might need help from your family for this bit.Week 2 – Rhythm and Dots(83KB)

• 1. Count the 8 beats out loud. Practice keeping this beat steady, don’t speed up or slow down whilst you count. 
• 2. Take your first household item – your ‘sound-maker’ – and tap on the beats in Part 1 marked with the dot.
• 3. Take your second household item and tap on the beats in Part 2 marked with the dot. 
• 4. Try playing these at the same time, or get a member of your family to play one of the parts.
• 5. Make your own Parts 3 and 4 and get more family to help play along. 
• 6. If you’d like, there is a blank grid on the second page for you to try making up your own patterns. You could even try using more than one dot in some of the squares.

Play list challenge

Can you create a play list of 10 songs that make you feel happy? You could do this as a family activity and include songs from everyone in your house.

• Think about why each song makes you or your family feel happy… you can discuss this with them, or write it down with the song title.
• Feel free to share your playlist with us! Get in touch, and we’ll listen to it.

Physical Education

There are a few options for your PE sessions.

1. Follow along with Joe Wicks, on his YouTube channel here, where he will be back to doing live workouts every morning at 9am. You can catch up with these in the afternoon, or shift your day around so you start the day this way and follow along live.
2. Check out the activities on Coach’s PE From Home page here and choose one (or more!) to complete.
3. Go for some exercise outdoors, whether it’s a walk, a jog, a run or something else.
4. Choose an activity from Youth Sports Trust. You can find a list of fun activities here.

If you are able to, please take photos or videos of whichever activity you choose and upload to Twitter @hillstoneps (include your name and year group) so we can see what you are getting up to!
