Maths: This is differentiated so your child should have their individual sheet with their shapes stuck in their homework book.

This week we are looking at symmetry of shapes. Symmetry is: when one half of an object  is a mirror image of the other half and it may be divided by 1 or more lines of symmetry.

Here is some 2D shapes. Can you draw as many lines of symmetry on each shape as possible.

Literacy:

As it is the winter season we would like the children to create a winter or christmas poem.

You can create it in any form of poem you like. E.g: haiku, acrostic, cinquain, limerick etc.

Here is an example of a few different types of poems to get you thinking.

Haiku (three lines with five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second, and five syllables in the third. Describe without saying. E.g. Harry Potter haiku:)

His hair black as night

A lightning scar tells his life

He is a legend.

Limerick (Has five lines. The last words of lines one, two, and five rhyme. The last words of lines three and four rhyme.) Example:

There was an old man from Peru

Who dreamed he was eating his shoe

He awoke in the night

With a terrible fright

To discover it was totally true.

Cinquain (Five lines: Title (noun) – 1 word, Description – 2 words, Action – 3 words, Feeling (phrase) – 4 words, Title (synonym for the title) – 1 word). Example:

Mom

Helpful, caring

Loves to garden

Excitable, likes satisfying people

Teacher

Acrostick:

Elegantly and efficiently shaped

Good to eat

Great fun to find at Easter

Smooth shelled

Sorry for the delay in the year 5 homework being posted, we had some technical difficulties with our laptops on Friday.

Spellings

Please practise these spellings ready for your spelling test next week.

Use of the hyphen

Hyphens can be used to join a prefix to a root word, especially if the prefix ends in a vowel letter and the root word also begins with one. Compounds with these prefixes are sometimes (but not always) hyphenated to avoid doubling a vowel or tripling a consonant, and sometimes even to prevent initial misreading or mispronunciation.

1. To avoid doubling a vowel: anti-administration (but cooperation)
2. To avoid tripling a consonant: shell-like
3. To prevent initial reading or mispronunciation: re-cover vs. recover (I will re-cover the sofa when I recover from the flu.)

co-ordinate

re-enter

co-operate

co-own

all-inclusive

cross-reference

re-order

re-cover

World Book Day

As part of our celebrations for World Book day this year, we are asking the children to think creatively and use their imaginations to answer the following question:

Where does your reading take you?

We could even win a prize as good as £10,000 of books and a library makeover! Here are some ideas below, you can find even more on the World Book Day link below:

Create a mural, poster. Write a poem, rap or song. Make a video, trailer, large book. Perform a play, song or dance.

We can not wait to see your wonderful ideas and share some of them on the website!

Maths – Area, perimeter and volume

The shapes for this activity are drawn on their homework sheet in their homework book.

Squared number = number timsed by itself. E.g. 4 squared = 4 x 4 = 16

Squared numbers help us find the area of squares as we know that the length x width = area. Using that information can you find out the area of these different shapes.

The perimeter is the distance around a two-dimensional shape. Example: the perimeter of this rectangle is 3+7+3+7 = 20.

Cubed number = number timsed by itself 3 times. E.g. 5 cubed= 5 x 5 x 5 = 125

Cubed numbers help us find the volume of a cube as we know that length x width x height = volume.

Using that information can you find out the volume of these different shapes.

Your challenge is to draw and name as many 2D shapes as you can from memory.

Literacy

In grammar we have been practicing adding dependant clauses to main clauses. Your task for this week is to demonstrate what you have learnt by adding dependant clauses to these sentences.

Remember a clause must contain a verb. It can go in the middle, end or beginning of a sentence. They usually begin with ly, ed, ing words or conjunctions (so, because, while etc). Just adding adjectives is not a dependant clause. Please don’t change the original sentence.

E.G

Balancing carefully, the cat walked across the wall.

1. The cat purred.
2. It dove to the bottom.
3. He slammed the door.
4. The monkey threw a coconut.
5. She sat back and relaxed.
6. The snow crunched under her feet.

Challenge:

Try each sentence but adding the clause in different places.
