Individual home learning

 

Next week, it our whole school Sports Week, which we are very excited about. As part of preparing for this, we would like you to focus on it for your homework.

 

1. Next week, you are permitted to wear sportswear for the week. Your PE kits are coming home so that you can wear these for some of the time. Please make sure you are prepared for this and come to school ready to get active!
2. We are raising money over the week for some new sports equipment for the school. Year 5 have the challenge of counting our steps, as a year group, and seeing how many times we can walk up and down Mount Everest! Please ask people to sponsor you for this challenge.
3. In year five, we are going to be focusing on why athletes retire earlier than most other jobs. We would like you to find out two famous athletes (this can be from any sport of your choice). One of them must be someone who you admire, who is currently still competing in their sport. The other must be someone who has retired from the sport.

Questions to help your research:

• Find out basic facts about them (name, date of birth, sport that they are competing in)
• If they are retired, what made them retire? Was it choice? Was there a reason?
• Nutrition – what do they eat to stay fit?
• Health – how do they maintain their fitness? What is their daily routine?
• What are they particularly famous for?

Please bring your research with you next week, ready for Sports Week.

 

We are really looking forward to challenging ourselves and working together next week.

 

Have a great weekend!

Individual Half-term holiday home learning

 

Literacy

 

Over the holidays, please can you create a storyboard of our visit to Warner Bros Studio tour. Think about the order in which we saw all of the different exhibits and the highlights of your day. It will need to be detailed as you will be writing a recount of the day after half term. Think carefully about what content is appropriate for a recount and what information does not need to be included.

 

Maths

 

Please complete an activity to do with measuring with your family. Take a picture or write an account of what you did to share on the first day back.

This could be:

• Measuring the length and width of your garden accurately (in m and cm) and then calculating the perimeter (the total distance around the outside)
• Bake a cake using g and kg
• Create a summer drink for your family, measuring the different amounts of ingredients in ml and L.
• Finding out the distance between your house and Brooklands Farm School (in m/km)
• Compare the different heights of people in your house (in m and cm)
• Write a diary of the activities that you do in the day, calculating the time it took to do each activity and recording the time you started the activity.

 

Please continue to use Mathletics and Hit the button over the half term as well.

 

Well done for all of your hard work over this half term. Enjoy a well earned rest over the next week.

 

Mrs Forbes, Miss Downey, Mr Stott and Mr Peters
