Hi Year 5,

I hope you have had a lovely half term and have been enjoying the sunshine. I celebrated EID (after a month of fasting) during Half-Term with my family and we enjoyed a great feast with lots of traditional food such as biryani, pakoras and samosas which are my absolute favourite! Milo hid inside a paper-bag the whole time, only coming out for food or to chase birds!

Remember, we love to hear from you! Whether you would like feedback on a piece of work or just want to say hi and tell us what you’ve been up to, feel free to email us year5@kfos.co.uk, make sure you put your class in the subject so your teacher doesn’t miss your message!Keep being fabulous and looking after yourself and each other.Miss Khan

This is a great activity to do at the start of the week.

Write your name in the middle circle and around it write down all your best

qualities.

You can get a family member to help you if you are stuck.

Remember you are all fabulous in so many ways and these qualities are what make

you ‘you’.

Monday 8th June- Science

In today’s lesson, we are going to be looking at the life cycle of a bird.

Before we start, have a think about these questions:

• What is a life cycle?• Where have you seen a life cycle before?• Are all life cycles similar? Why/why not?

4

Life Cycles

All animals including humans are born, grow, and possibly reproduce. In the end, all animals die. We call this a life

cycle.

• Animals are small when they start life. Over time they grow bigger and their bodies change.

• When they are grown up, they might reproduce and have offspring. These offspring will get older and may

eventually also have their own offspring too and so the life cycle keeps going!

Here are some examples of life cycles:

5

We will be looking at the life cycle of a chicken in today’s lesson.

It takes approximately 21 days before the little chicks will start to emerge.

The hen sits on the eggs and keeps them warm. This is called incubation.

Approximately after 21 days, the chicks hatches from it’s egg by pecking a hole in the shell with a bump on its beak called an egg tooth.

The chick starts developing over time.

A hen (female) lays eggs which are fertilised by a rooster (male).

The chick grows over time and becomes a chicken. Female chickens are called hens and male chickens are called roosters. The process starts all over again!

6

Oops! Miss Khan has done it again! She has accidentally mixed up the life-cycle of a chicken and it is not in the

correct order. Can you help her number the process in a chronological order?

The answers are on the next slide.

The Life Cycle of a Chicken

1. A hen (female) lays eggs which are fertilised by a rooster (male).

2. The hen sits on the eggs and keeps them warm. This is called incubation.

3. It takes approximately 21 days before the little chicks will start to emerge.

4. Approximately after 21 days, the chick hatches from it’s egg by pecking a hole in the shell with a bump on its beak called an egg tooth.

5. The chick starts developing over time.

6. The chick grows over time and becomes a chicken. Female chickens are called hens and male chickens are called roosters. The process starts all over again!

7

This is the order of the life-cycle of a chicken. Did you get it right?

Task 1

Draw a life cycle of a chicken in your Home Learning book(you can copy the example shown) and next to each stage, write

down the process using the information on the previous slide to help you.

Task 2

Compare the life cycle of a chicken to the life cycle of a human

What is similar?What is different?

Challenge

Find and write down the definition of incubation, hatching and fledgling.

Tuesday 9th June- Art

9

Before Half-Term, we looked at the artist Giacometti and his unique style of Art. We practised our sketching skills and created our very own Giacometti style foil sculptures which looked fantastic!

This week, you are going to sketch two different Ancient Greek mythical creatures using a pencil.

Over the next few slides, you will see drawings of different mythical creatures that you can choose from to sketch.

10

What is a Sketch?

Sketches are often part of the preparation for a more developed drawing or painting. The sketch allows the artist to rough out their ideas and plan the finished piece before making the more detailed, precise work.

Task

You will be recreating two of the sketches of Ancient Greek mythical creatures shown in the next three slides or you can make up your very own mythical creature! This will be done in pencil and using your sketching skills you have been

practising recently. Take your time and pay close attention to every detail of your mythical creature.

Watch this video to recap sketching techniques such as holding a pencil accurately, shading and creating outlines

and edges.

Wednesday 10th June- PSHE (Kindness)

We are going to be looking at the concept of ‘kindness’ and what it means.

Before we start, have a think about these three questions:

1. When have you been kind to someone recently? What did you do? Why were you kind to this person?

2. When has someone else been kind to you recently? How?3. How did it make you feel being kind to someone?

14

You will have the option of two activities to choose from in this lesson. Option 1 is to write a newspaper article about a time you received an act of kindness

and option 2 is to design a poster promoting kindness.Feel free to do both if you’d like to.

What Is ‘Kindness’?

Kindness is:

• being friendly, generous and considerate of others;

• showing goodwill to others;

• being concerned when others are upset or worried;

• helping people when they need you;

• doing something nice for someone else, without expecting anything

in return.

What does ‘kindness’ mean to you?

How Can You Show Kindness?

• Smile!

• Help someone if they

fall over.

• Go and sit with someone who is sitting alone

(if they want you to).

• Offer to help someone if they are stuck with

their work.

• Ask someone how they are.

• Pick up litter.

How Can You Show Kindness?

• Say good morning.

• Write a letter to someone thanking

them for something they’ve

done or said.

• Say something nice to as many people

as possible.

• Let someone go ahead of you in the

line.

• Hold doors for others.

Make the Choice

When you are kind, you make the world a happier, safer

place.

You can be kind to

everyone - to people who

are just like you and to

people who are different

to you.

You have infinite kindness in

you - share it with everyone,

every day.

Choose kindness!

Make the Choice

Choose kindness!

Your smile might be the brightest light in someone’s day, so let your kindness shine - smile at whoever you can, whenever you can.

20

Activity 1

Write a newspaper article to tell everyone about an act of kindness you have received from someone. It can be a family member, a friend, a teacher or even

your pet!

Things to include:• What the act of kindness was?

• How it made you feel?• Lots of praise for the person!

• What your response was to the act?

Add illustrations and colour to make your article as amazing as you are.

21

Activity 2

Design an A4 poster all about kindness. Think of as many words as you can (look at the example shown to get ideas) to add to

your poster.

You can write the words down as shown on the example or illustrate them!

For this activity, you can e-mail in your work on kindness or let us know how you

got on. The e-mail is year5@kfos.co.uk

We look forward to seeing these!

Thursday 11th May - History

The Olympics

What are the Olympics? Have you been or know someone who seen any Olympics events (London hosted

the Olympics in 2012)? Do you think the modern games may be different from the ancient games?

We are going to look at the Ancient Greek Olympics and how it all began in today’s lesson.

Before you start, have a think about the questions listed below.

The Ancient Greek Olympics

• The Olympics started around 776 BCE.• They took place every 4 years in August or September

at Olympia.• The event lasted for about 5 days.

Any wars going on between the City States were stopped during the games so all could take part!

• The Greeks loved sport and the Olympic Games were the biggest sporting event in the ancient calendar.

• The Olympic Games began over 2,700 years ago in Olympia, in south-western Greece.

• Every four years, around 50,000 people came from all over Greece to watch and take part.

• The ancient games were also a religious festival, held in honour of Zeus, the king of the gods.

• There were no gold, silver and bronze medals. Winners were given a wreath of leaves and a hero's welcome back home.

• Athletes competed for the glory of their city and winners were seen as being touched by the gods.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z87tn39/articles/z36j7ty

Watch the video to find out more:

• Only free-men who spoke Greek could take part.

• Women had a separate games called the Heraia in honour of Hera, Zeus’ wife.

• This was also held every 4 years but in a different year to the Olympics.

The Ancient Greek Olympics

Where were the games held?

The Olympic Games were held in Olympia, hence the name Olympics. They were held there because it was thought that the gods lived on Mount Olympus and the games were in honour of the king of the gods, Zeus. Athletes would travel to Olympia from many different Greek city-states and sometimes from far away Greek colonies to compete.

Running was the first event to be included in the Olympic Games.

Athletes ran up and down a 192 metre track in the stadium.

Before the race, the competitors lined up along a stone starting block. If

anyone tried to get a head start, they were disqualified and beaten for

cheating.

The toughest running race was called the Hoplitodromos. In this event,

runners competed wearing armour and carrying a shield. These could

weigh up to 25kg!

25

PANKRATION

This was a form of martial arts combining wrestling and boxing,

and was considered to be one of the toughest sports. Greeks

believed that it was founded by Theseus (a hero in a Greek

myth), when he defeated the fierce Minotaur in the labyrinth.

Like today's games, the ancient Olympics included boxing and

wrestling. However, they were a lot more violent!

The toughest event was the pankration. This was a wrestling

match with hardly any rules. The only things competitors

couldn’t do were bite or poke people in the eye. Some

wrestlers were even killed!

Boxing was tough too. The fighters wore leather gloves and a

boxer was allowed to keep hitting his opponent even after he'd

knocked him to the ground!

Discus throw

The discus was originally made of stone and later of iron, lead or bronze. The technique of throwing it was very similar to today's freestyle discus throw. In this event, athletes would compete to throw a stone or metal discus as far as they could.

The discus was much larger and flatter than the ones we use today and probably weighed almost twice as much.

Javelin

Ancient javelins were sharpened wooden sticks, sometimes with a metal point on the end.Athletes could make them fly further by winding a leather band around the javelin. This would unravel as the javelin was thrown, making it spin in the air.

Equestrian events

There were horse races and chariot races in the ancient Olympic Games.These events took place on a race track called a hippodrome. There were no seats, so spectators watched from the sides of the surrounding hills.Competitors raced around 12 laps of the track. The most dangerous places were the turning posts at either end, because riders wanted to get the best line for the corner.

Which one of these events do you think is the most different to the events we have in modern Olympics? All of these look extremely difficult and many very dangerous to me!

Task

Create an advert to persuading people to go to watch the Ancient Olympic Games. You have looked at adverts in recently in English, so refer back to all the different techniques involved in making an advert great (including a hook, rhetorical questions, imperative/bossy verbs and product information).

Use the information from previous slides to help you add information to your advert!

You will need to include at least three different sporting events in your advert making people want to come and watch.

Make your advert persuasive and like no one would want to miss out on watching the Ancient Olympic Games.

Surely you wouldn’t want to miss out on this opportunity?

All events show an immense amount of strength, fitness and determination, unlike any other event in the world.

'Accept everything about yourself, I mean everything. You are you and that is the beginning and the end, no apologies, no regrets'.

Everyone is unique and no one is perfect, the world would be so boring if we were all the same. There are things that we are all good at and things that we could all be better at, this is just part of being human. We can always try to improve things about ourselves, but we are all incredible as we are.

Your teachers have been thinking about what makes us great and have come up with the following:

Miss Law-creative anda good sense of humour.

Is there anything else that you think makes your teacher great?

Miss Ring- organised and caring.Miss Khan- cheerful and friendly.

'Accept everything about yourself, I mean everything. You are you and that is the beginning and the end, no apologies, no regrets'.

Select as many of the tasks as you wish!

Tasks:

• Draw yourself as an avatar and surround it with things you are good at. You can ask someone at home for additional ideas and with permission, you could contact a friend to help you.

• Create a cartoon strip with you as the main character. Show a situation where you have helped someone (for example-with a dance move, how to complete a level on a computer game or baking for someone).

• Write a short, step-by-step guide for how to be more confident.• Make a 3D model of you as a superhero out of anything you have at home it could be lego, playdough, blu tack. You could

then make a story up (recorded or not) of how you help others around you.• Have a go at doing something you KNOW you find tricky. Don’t worry about how well you are doing, instead just enjoy the

act of doing something.• Ask somebody in your household to help you learn how to do something new, or about something new. It may be you

have a family member who is good at cooking, dancing, or even cleaning!
