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. Yes Dania 🙂 Thanks for the upload! Great handwriting. Do you think you could expand it and include some details on the emotions of the passengers? Also, remember, if something isn’t said aloud, it shouldn’t be in speech marks.

  4. Hi Mr K and Mr C.
    The Maths was super hard for me today. I enjoyed it to start with and could do the perimiters ok and get them all right, but I couldn’t do it when I had to draw the shape… i did try but got in a muddle.

        1. Looks good Alex, but I think you’ve accidentally (I hope!) deleted the challenge question on the topic. It was: Which factors do you think determine the length of an animal’s gestation period? Provide evidence using the data you have collected.

          1. Sorry that would be my fault colour ink ran out and trying to work with 3 kids 1Y 4A and 5K is a challenge on its own so didn’t check just submitted Alex’s school work I will get Alex to look into it now. (Mom)

          2. No worries, I know it must be a battle to keep all of the children on task, but thank you.

        2. You’ve got the shape names correct on the first sheet. But I don’t think that you’ve measured all of the sides and added them together to get the perimeter.

          1. Ok I understand now thank you for your help Mr Campbell
            Mr K I have looked into my research and I think the larger the animal the longer the gestation.
