26.03.20 - Maths

Date: 25th Mar 2020 @ 11:50pm

Good morning everyone! 

It made me giggle yesterday when I saw myself in the background of Denico's and Rhianna's photograph! It also made me smile, because it showed me that you are benefitting from the videos and it made me feel very helpful - so thank you!

Today's focus in maths, is all to do with scales and converting measurements (grams and kilograms).

If you don't have the worksheet, I've also attached it to the video. Whatever worksheets you choose to do, is your choice - but if you feel like doing some conversions, enjoy the video!

If you want to have some more practice, have a go at the questions below. Remember, there are 1000g in a kg. So if you are changing kg's into g's you have to x1000, if you are changing g's into kg's you have to ÷1000.

I can't wait to see your answers again.


1. 3.56kg = __g

2. 4.5kg = __g

3. 5600g = __kg

4. 4200g = __kg

5. 1.68kg = __g

25.03.20 - Science (+ a science challenge!)

Date: 25th Mar 2020 @ 9:34am

Good morning everyone!

Today's focus is science, and more specifically, the life cycle of mammals. Did you know that kangaroos look after their joey it their pouch when it's only the size of a bean? Did you know that platypus' produce milk in the same way they sweat? There are lots of new facts!

I have a science challenge for you all - it doesn't matter if it is with this worksheet, or with another. I want you to show a life cycle in a creative way. I want you to think about how you could present this. A drawing, a pop up, a booklet? It's your choice! This can be about any of the life cycles we've looked at in school, or that you have in your pack.

I'm looking to give outstanding to those children who have clearly put some effort in when having a go.

Good luck!

25.03.20 - Maths

Date: 25th Mar 2020 @ 9:24am

Good morning everyone! I'm loving seeing what work you've been getting on with. Well done!

Today's maths is about time - we're great at reading a digital clock (thanks to technology) but some of us struggle reading an analogue clock, so that might be something worth practising at home grown ups smiley

I've attached the sheet that I'm discussing on the video, in case you don't have it in your pack - remember, you don't need to do the sheets in a particular order, it's up to you which challenge you want to accept.


Here are some questions on time, if you want to practice this skill.

1. What is 45 minutes after 8:20?

2. What is 30 minutes after 9:15?

3. What time is half an hour before 11:10?

4. The train leaves Hogwarts at 10:15. It arrives at Diagon Alley at 11:05. How long is the train journey?

If time is a challenge you really struggle with (it's a tricky skill to learn!) have a go at some of these interactive activities: https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/116/telling-the-time


I'm looking forward to seeing what work you get up to again smiley

Hello from Mrs Turner

Date: 23rd Mar 2020 @ 9:45am

Monday 23rd March 2020 

Good morning everyone I hope you are all up and looking forward to a day of learning at home. It is a beautiful day perhaps you can have some time in the garden. I am sorry that I wasn't in school last week, both the government and Mrs Hughes advised that I stay at home but please don't worry I am not sick! I really do miss you all, I was so enjoying going around all the school and teaching so many of you, what amazing children you are. 

Year 6 I am especially sorry that we have not had the chance to say goodbye. I remember you all so fondly from year 4 and wish you well with all that the future holds. I believe that each and every one of you has a special future and encourage to grab every opportunity that life gives you. Work hard at high school it will be so worth it. 

For everybody else I look forward to seeing you soon - imagine how great that first day will be when we are allowed back into school. I can't wait!  I have seen that Joe Wicks is doing a PE lesson every morning on line, I would encourage you to join in its so important that you stay active even when you are stuck inside. 

Stay safe and I will see you soon.

Love Mrs Turner (Hibbs)

 

***UPDATE***

Date: 22nd Mar 2020 @ 1:50pm

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much to the children that have already emailed me to say hello! It put a smile on my face immediately :) 

I have ordered a webcam so that I can record better quality videos for you all (the last video wasn't the best quality!) It was supposed to arrive yesterday (Saturday)...but hasn't arrived yet. As soon as it arrives (hopefully today or tomorrow!) I will start recording and posting videos.

There are some children who have already asked that I email them the video, as they struggle to watch this on their phones. If you would like the videos emailed to you, please email me and let me know.

If there is a particular topic or subject you want to see first (e.g. fractions in maths, or one of the writing activities) then please email me. I want to priotise what will benefit you all the most.

 

Email on: y5homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk 

 

Thank you

Miss Brookes

A letter to the wonderful 5CB children :)

Date: 20th Mar 2020 @ 11:08am

Hi everyone!

To begin with, I just want to say how sorry I am that I have been unable to be there with you these past couple of days,  unfortunately it was out of my control and I have hated every second of being away from you all.

I know that this is a difficult time, and you must all have a thousand questions – I wish I was there to answer them. However, I am immensely proud of the work you have put in these past few days (even if you are still quite loud!) I’ve received a glowing report from Mrs Turner and Miss Harris, so well done!

The next few weeks are going to be tricky, and I’m not sure when we will be back in school to talk about it all again. However, I want you to continue to work hard and try not to worry. I know a lot of you are worriers – and if this was something, I thought you should worry about, I would tell you (you know I would). So instead of worrying, I want you to distract yourselves.

While I’ve been sat home (very bored! My copy of Harry Potter is still on my desk at school ☹ ) I’ve been preparing all of the tasks in your home learning pack. One of the best ‘stop yourself from worrying’ tool in there, is the mindfulness worksheets.  If you’re feeling stressed or concerned, I want you to complete some of those activities. I would also love for you to draw me some pictures, and keep them somewhere safe until we are back in school.

The next thing I want you to do, is check our class blog every day. I am going to do my best to post a video each day. I will post some lessons on the different worksheets you have – in case you are stuck or can’t remember how to work something out – and I will post some mindfulness and wellbeing tips, to keep you focussed (I’ve even left a video on there for you now).

The last thing I want to say, is thank you. I am hopeful that I will get to teach you again, but on the off chance that doesn’t happen, I want to let you know what a wonderful time I have had this year. You’re the very first class I have been able to teach from September (rather than from in the middle of the year!) and even though we have had our ups, downs, and headaches, I have loved every second of it.

From forcing you to love Harry Potter, and taking our selfie’s when we dress up, to getting frustrated at your tiktok dances (for the last time, I’m not a vsco girl!) I have had a blast. You are a funny bunch, and I can’t wait to hear from you again.

Thank you, and stay strong.

Thinking of you all,

Miss Brookes.

Sports Relief!

Date: 13th Mar 2020 @ 5:13pm

To celebrate sports relief this year, Miss Brookes and Mrs Ranyard organised a dance-a-thon!

We all came to school wearing red, and throughout the day there had to be one class dancing at all times. 2HR danced their way up to our classroom, where we began our 30 minute dance session!

We were absolutely exhausted and ready for dinner by the end of it. 

Science Week!

Date: 13th Mar 2020 @ 5:11pm

To celebrate science week, Year 5 have begun an experiment all about growing mushrooms.

The question we are focussing on is: 'Does the species of mushroom affect its rate of growth?' 

We have now planted brown, white and oyster mushrooms - and are very excited to see them grow!

7 of us think the brown mushrooms will grow first.

21 of us think the white mushrooms will grow first.

3 of us think the oyster mushrooms will grow first.

We just need to remember to check if the soil is moist each day! 

Workshops Galore!

Date: 13th Mar 2020 @ 5:08pm

It has been a very exciting week for year 5!

Not only were we fortuante enough to participate in one workshop, we were fortunate enough to participate in two!

On Monday we enjoyed a NSPCC workshop, where we learnt about what we can do if we need advice, and where to go if we ever need help and support.

On Friday, we enjoyed a Prevent workshop. We discussed war, and the reasons people choose to join the army or not. We then debated our own views - if we felt we'd rather stay at home (because if no one went to war, there would be no one to fight), or if we would join the soldiers (to protect our homes). Some of us were stuck in the middle and decided that we would stay home, but be prepared to defend our country if our towns/cities were invaded.

What is your favourite memory from this week?

World Book Day!

Date: 5th Mar 2020 @ 5:16pm

Year 5 have had a fabulous World Book Day!

We chose to focus on a traditional tale villian this year, and we decided on the Big Bad Wolf.

Our resident pig (Mrs Turner) and Wolf (Miss Brookes) spent most of the day arguing about who the real villian of the story was!

We focused on the Three Little Pigs, and Miss Brookes did her best to persuade us that the only reason she visited the pig's houses was to borrow some sugar (for her grandma's birthday cake!)

We began the day by reading about the wolf, and then the three little pigs. We theorised about the different ways to destroy a house, and created little houses with key information inside (soon to be seen on one of our displays!)

We then read the 'real' version of the story, where the wolf is innocent! (100% the truth according to Miss Brookes). We discussed all of the different reasons why the wolf may have visited the pig's houses.

After an assembly, where we got to watch some acting, catwalk with our amazing costumes, and read with our reading buddies, the class had a visitor. Another Big Bad Wolf appeared (who looked strangely like Miss Thornton), she shared the story of Little Red Riding Hood, and the lies that she had spread! Can you believe that the wolf was friends with Grandma? That he helped her fix broken things? That Little Red had lied the entire time? The children were astonished to learn the truth!

We ended the day by acting out some of our favourite scenes from today's stories. Can you work out which book our freeze frames are from?

Sharing books!

Date: 3rd Mar 2020 @ 4:01pm

A huge thank you to the adults that joined us in our library session today! The children had a brillaint time sharing their favourite books with you, and listening to you talk about yours.

You are definitely welcome back :)

 

Rockstars!

Date: 2nd Mar 2020 @ 4:33pm

We had such a fabulous day dressing up as rockstars! All of the TTRockstar log ins have gone home, and I'm looking forward to setting you all challenges.

Who is the quickest timestable rockstar in our class? 

Marvellous Maths

Date: 2nd Mar 2020 @ 4:17pm

Following on from last weeks lesson on translating shapes, Year 5 focused on reflecting shapes today. It was a little bit tricky at first, but eventually we were all feeling confident!

Can you practice this at home?

Wellbeing Workshop!

Date: 29th Feb 2020 @ 4:47pm

On Wednesday, Year 5 had an amazing opportunity to emerge themselves in a wellbeing workshop! We tried 10 different activities (some that were easy, and some that were challenging!) and discussed different ways we can help our brains if we are faced with a tricky situation.

We have also begun to do some mindfulness mediation after lunch, to help ready our brains for learning.

We care, We soar’
