Monday 22^nd June

 

Good morning, Year 5! 

 

I hope you've had a good weekend and enjoy the weather this week.

 

Today, please could you:

 

• Complete Day 15 in your Early Morning Workbook
• Complete the maths activity on Seesaw about units of time
• For your English today, please listen to Chapter 15 – Fishing and Chapter 16 – Trading Up at https://www.cookhamriseprimary.org/a-boy-and-a-bear-in-a-boat/  These are quite long chapters and so there is no Boy and a Bear written work today.
• Follow the guidance on Seesaw to write a letter to an elderly person.  Your final version should be in your best handwriting and is your handwriting activity for this week.
• At https://spellingframe.co.uk complete 10 minutes of the free activities for Spelling Rule 51
• Take a break and watch Bitesize Daily at https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p089g0cc/bitesize-911-year-olds

 

This week, for your topic and science work, I’d like you to create your own mini-water cycle by following the attached instructions.  Look for changes in your water-cycle both this week and next week when you are back at school.  The week after next (when you are out of school again) I’d like you to create short film or information text explaining the water cycle, using photographs from your experiment.

 

Have a lovely day!
