Year 5 Monday 23rd November

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. Additionally, if you have any questions that you’d prefer to ask your teacher privately, send them to year5@hillstone.org.uk

In today’s lesson, we are continuing with The Matchbox Diary. Grandfather’s family are on their way to America. However, the journey doesn’t go very well…

Your task for today will be to write a dialogue-focused account of what it was like to experience the storm. It could be from the point of view of one of the family members or you could imagine yourself as one of the first class passengers.

Before getting started, let’s quickly revise the rules for punctuating dialogue.

As a warm up, write two speech sentences for each of the following images. Have a go at acting them out by yourself or with a family member. If you’d like some ideas to get you started, take a look at my video for each picture.

Our current focus is to entertain using emotions. Use your show-don’t-tell skills and vocab selections to help engage your reader.

Good luck!! Remember to share a photo of your work using twitter or the Year 5 upload link at the top of the page.

The Human Body

Today we will be researching the gestation periods of humans and other animals.

The gestation period of an animal is the time it takes for a foetus to develop between fertilisation and birth.

In different types of animal, gestation periods vary dramatically.

The shortest mammalian gestation period belongs to the opossum. After 12 days, the female gives birth to 16-20 babies.

The longest, at 22 months, belongs to the Indian elephant.

Your task today is to research and record the gestation periods of a variety of animals of your choice.

Once you’ve finished, can you identify the longest and the shortest?

Challenge! Using your research, can you figure out which factors determine the length of an animal’s gestation period?

    1. Thanks for the upload Alfie-Lee. Some good ideas in your writing. Do you think you could go back and add full stops and some dialogue between the passengers?

  37. Hi Mr C and Mr K,
    I enjoyed my writing task to today and will ask my mum to help upload it later on. I did an AR quiz for Danny the Champion of the World and got 100%!! Im just starting my perimeter work. Hope you are both ok.

        2. You were just about exact for a lot of the questions on the maths, the last few you may have rounded up a touch, but as you said it is tricky, so well done.
