Good morning Year 5!

We are so proud of the resilience, perseverance and growth mindset that you have all shown during this time! It is not an easy thing to do but you are not alone and we have got a little encouragement for you this morning. Over 100 children's writers and illustrators have created a free collection of short stories, poems, essays and pictures for you and your family to enjoy. When you get a free moment today, click here and enjoy The Book of Hopes. 

Here is today's timetable: 

---

9am - Let's start the day well by waking up our minds and bodies with some exercise!

---

Lesson 1 - Numeracy

Today we are going to be comparing and ordering fractions less than 1. First, we would like you to click on the link below and watch the video from White Rose Summer Term Week 4, Lesson 4:

Break - After all of that hard work, your brain needs a good break! Move away from your study space, look outside the window and breath in some fresh air. Rememeber to wash your hands for 20 seconds.

Lesson 2 - Literacy

Click on the link below to listen to Chapter 33 of Varjak Paw:

Now that you have listened to Chapter 33, we would like you to have a go at answering some questions. These will include:

• Retrieval questions, where you will need to pinch the information from the text and put it in your answer.
• Inference questions, where you will need to use clues from the text to find the answer. We call this reading between the lines.

Normally, we would have the text in front of us, so listen to the video again if you need to. Remember to look at how many marks each question is worth so that you know how many points to make. 

1. Find out what the word means by looking in a dictionary or asking someone else.
2. Practise spelling these words.
3. Use the word in a sentence to predict how the story of Varjak Paw will end.

Lunch - Enjoy a tasty lunch with your family and try to eat something from each food group. Perhaps this is a good time to read from The Book of Hopes with a family member.

Lesson 3 - Art

Today we are going to be learning how to use perspective. Artists use perspective in drawings and paintings to make three-dimensional objects look realistic on a piece of paper or canvas, to add depth. They do this by creating the illusion that everything is meeting at one point on the horizon. We call this the vanishing point. 

Here is an example from Van Gogh's artwork:

First, you will need to get your equipment ready. 

You will need:

• an A4 piece of paper
• a sharp pencil

• a rubber
• a ruler
• colours or paints 

Now, we would like you to click on the link below to watch a tutorial on BBC Bitesize, where an artist shows us how to draw a street scene using perspective. Follow the instructions and copy the image she provides. Alternatively, once you have watched the tutorial, you could use the artist's technique to draw the view from your window.

End of the day - Ice cream and seaweed

I bet you've been wondering what this is all about? Click on the link below to meet the artist who said her paintings were full of ice cream and seaweed! 

Gillian Ayres

If, like Gillian Ayres, you would like to have a go at creating artwork which makes you and others feel happy, why not have a go at creating your own designs on Tate Paint?

Best wishes to you and your family,
Sophie, Alice and Charlotte
