Hi year 5! As the weeks are passing, it has been great to see that you are all remaining motivated and

putting a lot of hard work in to your home leaning. We are really proud of all the effort and have enjoyed seeing the fun that you are having at home. This week we will be blasting off in to our new topic… Exploration! Some extra news this week… If you would like an additional creative

task, then Severn Arts and Worcestershire County Council would like to invite children and families to take part in Islands in the Sky, a new online #CreativeConnections arts project. All further information and details of how our children can take part in the project can be found on

Hagley Primary School website under the home learning tab.

Your Maths teacher will have set you some work on MyMaths. If you have any outstanding work from previous weeks, make sure that these are complete first. Don’t forget, there’s also the Maths challenges to complete on the Maths section of the website

Access the White Rose daily maths via our website. There are five 40-minute sessions for you to complete: one for each day of the week! You could print off the daily worksheet or alternatively, you could use paper once you have seen the questions. Please note: If you are going to use the worksheets and answers, these will now need to be downloaded from our the Maths page on the HPS website as they are not accessible via White Rose’s website.

Logon to TTRS and complete times tables practice.

English We have created an English home learning sequence to help structure the week so that it is more manageable. It also imitates some of our English sequences in school. Inspire Use the image or example text to inspire your writing. Talk about it with someone at home

using these questions. Images: What do you notice? What do you think about? Text: What features can you spot? What do you like about it?

Plan Plan your writing using the prompts given by your teacher Write Produce your first draft of writing thinking about the prompts Edit Read your work and edit the spelling and punctuation Publish Publish your work neatly in your best handwriting or maybe type it up on a computer. We

Succeed.’

This week’s task You have impressed us so much with your amazing writing! Now we have a non-fiction challenge! We would like you to write a newspaper report linked to our new topic of ‘Exploration.’ Inspire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VvfTY-tVzI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raN5VLEro1w You are now a Journalist in 1969 and astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins have just returned safely from their mission to the Moon. Watch the YouTube video links above, entitled ‘The story of Apollo 11: The first men on the moon’ and ‘Apollo 11 moon mission animated’. Make notes on key events and names so that you can use these in your report. Plan

• Consider the key events of the mission that you will be reporting on. You should be able to organise the facts you have in to 6 sections. 1.) Who, what, where, when, why? – short and snappy introduction 2.) The preparation and journey 3.) The landing 4.) Activities on the Moon 5.) The return journey and landing 6.) The future for the men

• Take a look at the WAGOLL text about Tim Peake’s return from the ISS. You

will be able to see the structure, language and features used in a newspaper report. Think about thekey features that every good news report should have. What are the 5W’s and when might they appear? What tense will the majority of the report be in? Will you include any quotes? Should the report include fact or opinion?

Write

• Make use of formal language choices (Avoid contractions and reference to yourself).

• Consider ambitious and subject specific language that you could use (You may want to look at other newspaper examples to get some ideas).

• Use inverted commas accurately to punctuate direct quotes. • When using direct or reported speech, consider varied choices to replace

‘said’ that add interest to your report. • Use varied fronted adverbials of time to help create cohesion and link ideas.

E.g. After two hours on the surface of the moon, Later that morning, By 11:42pm,

Publish We would love to see your published report in a formal newspaper layout (Headline, columns, pictures and captions). This could be hand written or word processed and then posted on to Seesaw and comment with the answers to the questions 1.) What

a. In whole hours b. In whole days

Topic Task 1 - The Phases of the Moon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4ZHdzl6ZWg Watch the link above about the phases of the Moon. When complete use the diagram below and video to draw the phases of the Moon. Imagine you are standing on the Earth, looking at each number. How much, or little, of the Moon can you see?

One has been done for you:

1 2 3 4

5 6 7 8

Topic Task 2 – Making craters NASA Needs You! They want you to investigate the craters on the Moon by conducting a fair test at home. Equipment you need: Tray of flour (The Moon’s surface) A small stone (Meteor) A tape measure or other measuring device You are going to drop the stone on to the tray and measure the size of the crater that is made. In order to make this a fair test, you will need to consider the variables. What are we changing? How are we changing it? What are we keeping the same? What are we measuring? How are we measuring it?

Make sure you measure the diameter from the widest part of the crater and read the ruler accurately.

When you have completed the investigation, answer the questions below:

1. Which height created the largest crater? 2. Which height created the smallest? 3. How did you make sure you had a fair test? 4. Did you have any problems? 5. How could you solve these problems next time?

Choose 4 different heights to drop your stone from. Record the size of the crater and note any additional observations you have found in a table like this.

Topic Task 3 – The Solar System What is a planet? How does it differ from a star? What is a satellite? What is the solar system? It is your job to find out and share your knowledge with your family. Below are a selection of websites that could be helpful, but you can use books, TV programmes and any other knowledge you can find. https://www.space.com/56-our-solar-system-facts-formation-and-discovery.html https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/space/our-solar-system/ https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/solar-system-explorer/en/# Questions to answer: -Why do planets orbit the Sun? -What is the definition of a star, satellite and planet? -What planets are in our solar system? -What features do these planets have? -Which are the largest/smallest or hottest/coldest planets? -What order do the planets occur in? Informative poster When you have all of your information, we would like you to create an informative poster about the solar system. It should include names and details of planets, labelled images and interesting facts that you would like to share. For example, Mars’ volcano ‘Olympus Mons’ is the biggest in the solar system at 374 miles across and 16 miles high. That is triple the height of Mount Everest! How you decide to present your solar system information is totally up to you. It could be coloured pencil, paint, collage or created on an iPad. Just make sure you have fun and learn something new!

We would love to see your topic work. You could take a photo and share it with your teacher via seesaw.
