Lesson 1- Maths
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. |
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...
Well done! Now, spend 15 minutes on Mathletics, then 15 minutes on Times Tables Rock Stars.

Break time
Time for a screen break! Grab a glass of water and check in with someone else in the house. |
|
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.
|
|
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:

Lunch!
Take a break and enjoy a healthy lunch with your family. Please take a break and return this afternoon for you final two lessons of the day. Well done for all your hard work- we are so proud of you! |

Lesson 3- Science
|
Starter: Let’s start by recapping last lesson’s learning:
|
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: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zc3nm39 |
|
Next, you are going to carry out an experiment like the one in the video and then observe it over time.
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.

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!
|
|
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:
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?

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.
Best wishes,
Alice, Charlotte, Sophie, Lauren and Nasima
