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.

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

Let’s the start the day off with some early morning work! So, put your thinking hats on Year 5. Give it a go! – Make sure you have left a comment to let us know you’re here too!

Yesterday, we started to think about writing our Christmas letters to the elderly. Our plan is to send letters/emails to Newsround so we can inspire other children to follow our example.

We decided a formal tone would suit our persuasive letter to Newsround as it would encourage them to take our idea seriously.

For your warm-up today, can you convert my informal sentences into something that could be used in our letter? If you’re struggling to get started, have a look at my ideas.

Informal sentences

Formal alternatives

Today, we’re going to plan our letters. Take a look at my suggested structure.

Plan out what you are going to include in each paragraph. You may also wish to find statistics that back up your points. I’d also recommend finding words that will help to give your letter a formal tone. Make a note of these next to the section you are going to use them in.

Da Vinci

In Da Vinci’s notebooks, we can see him focusing his attention on specific parts of the body, often in great detail. Through this work, Da Vinci blurs the line between art and science.

Today, we will be drawing the window to the soul, the eyes!

  3. Emmy has completed her lessons, I’ve just uploaded her drawing. She has concentrated hard on this and is very pleased with the result. I hope you have received everything today. Thank you.

        1. Jasmine spent along time doing it. She loves art videos like this where you copy what to do. She loves Art Kids Hub on youtube. Thank-you to you all for all your hard work in putting online learning together.

  11. Afternoon Mr c and Mr k I have done a letter to news round I know we wasn’t ment to do it today but with my class back at school tomorrow and me not being back till Monday I wanted to give it a try so I didn’t miss out I have uploaded the work for you.

  12. I did it!!! Uploaded the maths.. Mom had to help me but I got there and answered everything….. I have done some ar quizzes and got 100% too!

  16. Uploaded my writing to….. The cloud….
    Have took a break from maths as I keep getting mixed up between area and peramiter. I have done the reading too.

  25. I have done early morning sheets and maths, it was trickier today. I’m going to do writing now before mom goes to work, is it just planning or writing the whole letter?

      1. Mr K,
        I have a question about the letter, I have done some research and found some companies like age Uk and to end loneliness. they have some really good ideas like calling once a week I thought this was really nice but. do I have to think of something myself to help the elderly not feel lonely or is there something you have planned for us already?

  35. Hi, second morning task sheet is missing the edge so we just did the first sheet. TBH that was enough for Jasmine so we have moved onto writing.
