Good morning Year 5! Welcome back after your Easter break - we hope you've had a lovely time doing things at home (and perhaps a daily walk or bike ride, or have you been doing any Easter baking?) and enjoyed the sunshine!
We’re ready and raring to go with our daily blog posts again! They’ll look a little different to before Easter - Miss Brookes, Miss Wendt and I have been talking about how we can join together so that both Year 5 classes are doing the same activities. So, here’s what you can expect to see over these next few weeks of home learning!
* Some ideas for different Connected Curriculum activities for you to choose from over the next 3 weeks - our theme is SPACE! Mrs Hodges' favourite! (well, after the Victorians that is)
* Weekly Reading Challenge (posted on a Monday)
* Daily blog post with Maths, GVP and Sentence of the Day activities
* A Science, Writing/Vocabulary and Spanish activity throughout the week, which we’ll tell you about in the daily blog post
Make sure you check our blog post every day to find your new activities and remember that we would LOVE to see the learning you’ve been doing at home (and are also more than happy to answer any questions you have about the activities we’ve set), so please email us and we can celebrate your fabulous achievements together! Our special Year 5 email is:
y5homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk
We’re missing you all very much, and can’t wait to be back together again. We’re so proud of each one of you, we hope you remember that as you set aside a bit of time each day to do some learning and stay safe at home!
Love Mrs Hodges, Miss Wendt and Miss Brookes x

Mrs Hodges here!
Hello everyone! Are you ready for your Sentence of the Day? I really miss doing this with you in person, but for now, my Show Me videos are a pretty good second choice! Before you check out today’s sentence, I’d like you to have a watch of this video of Mark Vande Hei (an astronaut) telling us about how they exercise on the International Space Station (remember, that’s the floating laboratory which orbits Earth!):

Our next 3 Sentence of the Days are going to be to do with this video. Here we go - remember to email across your corrected sentence, and I’ll post my purple pen video later on today!

Good Morning from Miss Wendt!
I was thinking about the different things that we can practice to keep our mathematical skills sharp. This week we are going to be looking at quick questions featuring the 4 different operations - addition, subtraction, division and multiplication.
Have a look at the questions below and think about which ones you can work out in your head, and which may need a written method. Remember to email your answers!
I'll update with the correct answers at the end of the day!

Hello from Miss Brookes!
I hope you have all had a lovely Easter break and are excited to begin some learning!
Each day I will be sharing a 'show me' video for GVP. Along with this video, there will be some additional activities for you to complete, with the same focus. This week, we are beginning with parenthesis.

I can't wait to see what sentences you create to do with the photograph of Merlin!
I have also attached a worksheet for you, where you need to use brackets, dashes and commas to show parenthesis.
Note: A dash is longer than a hyphen (I knew there was a difference!)
Have a lovely Monday!
And now for the answers...
Have a look at the Fluent in 5 answers for today - did anyone get them all correct? Did you decide which calculations could be worked out using mental methods, and which may need a written method? Next to the answer is a clue that might help!
