Lesson 1- Maths
Before we start maths today, I want to say a big well done for your hard work yesterday.

​Here is an example of how you can use the space given on white rose worksheets to prove your answers, or show working out. Well done Samiul. 
Picture
​Today, we are deepening our understanding of equivalent fractions.  For today's lesson you are going to watch two videos. 
First, 
you will watch the White Rose video, listening carefully and following any instructions. 
Then, you will watch a video of Alice explaining how to find equivalent fractions. 

Spr5.4.3 - Equivalent fractions from White Rose Maths on Vimeo.

Equivalent fractions can be a little confusing. Sometimes it helps to hear someone else explain it. Alice wishes she could be in the classroom to teach you but this will have to do for now...
Complete activities
Now, have a go at these activities and send pictures of your work to year5@bgfjs.org.
You may need bar models to support you with some problems, but you may have understood the link and feel confident without.
​Be sure you also let us know if you have any questions! 
Well done! Now, spend 15 minutes on Mathletics, then 15 minutes on Times Tables Rock Stars.

Lesson 2- Literacy
In this lesson, we will write a diary entry from the perspective of Tristan from The Viewer. We'll use a plan and success criteria to help us write.
Picture
Follow along with the video by clicking the button Main Lesson button. Remember, your literacy teachers are expecting to see the same writing quality that you would produce in class.

Once you are finished, please make sure to spend 10 minutes reading through your diary entry to make any needed edits before emailing the pictures to us. Here are some things to look out for: 
  • Spelling mistakes
  • Missing words
  • Missing punctuation
Picture
Well done, year 5! We can't wait to see your writing.

​Last lesson, we learnt that dissolving a soluble substance in water is a reversible change.  Today, we are going to set up an investigation to prove it!

First, watch the top video in this link:

​Next, you are going to carry out an experiment like the one in the video and then observe it over time.

Click the button below and follow the instructions carefully. 
Click here for experiment
Your teachers would love to see what you have done so take a photo of your container in its warm place and email it to year5@bgfjs.org. 

Remember to check on your experiment every few days to observe what is happening.  In next week’s science lesson, we will conclude the experiment.

Let's see what you've learnt!
When you have finished the lesson, click here to complete a quiz to show your teacher what you have learnt:

Lesson 4- Destination World
In Spanish class, we’ve spoken several times about the many different places in the world that speak Spanish. Without looking it up, have a go at writing down as many countries as you can remember! 
Once you've had a go, click here to see a list. How many did you remember? 
Click to check
Picture
Here is a picture of a globe facing North America and South America, including the Caribbean and Central America.


Thinking back to your geography lessons last term, can you find Brazil? What about  Argentina? Cuba? 
Watch the video below and as you watch, be thinking of what about this continent makes you curious. What do you already know about South America? What information in this video is new? What about this place seems interesting? 
To finish this lesson, click the button below and investigate one country. Remember, when investigating something, it's important to be curious!

Once you’ve finished your investigation, answer these questions on a piece of paper: 
  • What country did you choose? 
  • What is something interesting you learned?
  • What is a question you have about this place?  
  • Do you want to travel to this country? Why or why not? 
Investigate Here!

Story Time
Well done! We know there was a lot of content today, so enjoy this short story by Dina Gregory to end your day. Here is a summary of the story: 

"Charlie and her friends are avid video gamers. But when they spot a huge chocolate bar growing from the top of a tree - then another, and another - it is the beginning of a real-life, outdoor quest!"

Buenas tardes, Year 5! We look forward to seeing all of your wonderful faces tomorrow and Friday in the class assemblies. Be sure to let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
