Year 5 Spring Term 1 Home learning 18/01/2021
Dear Parent / Carers
Mr Gallop and Miss Heath have put together a weekly ‘pack’ of learning activities that
coincides with the learning that the children will be doing in school. Below are some ideas
and links to follow at home. Our theme for the next few weeks will to be ‘World War 1’.
Please email the school at enquiries@fairfieldsprimary.co.uk should you have any
questions.
To ensure that the children are motivated to complete as many of these suggested
activities as possible whilst at home – we would encourage them to email us, or drop off
into school (following social distancing guidelines) any work they would like to share with
us at the end of each week.
Thank You
Mr Gallop and Miss Heath

English – Writing This week in English we will conclude our descriptive writing narrative based upon the Alchemist’s Letter focussing on the final moments of the machine in action and Veridian’s decision. We will also be starting to construct our own, independent, creative writing piece based upon the lenses and sentences stacking examples from the past few weeks. You will have a choice to describe any of the four machines we have provided links for below. Have a look at the machines first and see which one you would like to use in your independent writing. Please see the links below that will help you - Animusic Pipe Dream – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyCIpKAIFyo Animusic Resonant Chamber - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcO-6eZ4SKs Marble Machine 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvUU8joBb1Q Marble Machine 2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AEvQAg6TE0 The lenses that we have focussed upon during our Alchemists letter sentence stacking have included -
Please see the end of this Home Learning Pack for additional resources that may help you structure your own writing. Maths This week in Maths, we are continuing the topic of Y5 Fractions. We will be moving onto ‘multiplying fractions by an whole numbers’. Below is a visual image that will help you to calculate any questions that you have to answer during the week. The Chilli Challenges for this topic can be found at the end of this document. You will need nothing more than some paper and your writing materials to complete these lessons. All questions will be shared on the screen during the Zoom lesson. If you are finding multiplying fractions by a whole number a little challenging – have a look at this YouTube clip to see if it helps! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8LVDxQB_LQ
English - Reading In class we will be continuing to focus on the reading skill of prediction. In order to predict, you need to look for all the clues in the text or picture, then link it to your current knoweldge of the world and make a sensible guess about what will happen. We have predicted from pictures and sentences, now we are going to predict from longer pieces of texts.
SPaG – Prefixes dis-, de-, mis-, over- and re- This week we will be looking at the prefixes ‘dis-, de-, mis-, over- and re-‘
Y5 - Spelling This week’s spelling rule is slightly different! We will be looking at ‘homophones’ of words that can become easily confused with one another – for example ‘advise’ and ‘advice’.
Maths Fluency

Year 5 and 6 – Topic This week will be continuing our joint Year 5 and Year 6 ‘World War I’ topic. We will be learning about one of the most famous and enduring moments of the war: the Christmas Truce. Research Questions: What is a “truce”? Who was the Christmas Truce between? When did the it happen? Where did it happen? Why did it happen? What happened during the truce? Was there another truce the following year? If not, why not? https://kids.britannica.com/kids/article/The-Christmas-Truce/607325 https://www.ducksters.com/history/world_war_i/christmas_truce.php
Y5 and Y6 – Science – Properties and Changes of materials
In our science lesson this week, we will be exploring whether materials are conductors
or insulators. What do these terms mean? Use the websites below to write a definition
of a conductor and an insulator! Remember conductors and insulators can be related to
both heat or electricity.
Heat and insulation - KS2 Science - BBC Bitesize
insulators and conductors - Kids | Britannica Kids | Homework Help
What are conductors and insulators? - BBC Bitesize
Watch the lesson below for an in-depth lesson on conductors and insulators. This is a
fantastic resource that explains what conductors and insulators are and investigates
which materials are the best insulators and conductors. Do not worry if you do not
understand the recap as we will explore this in later lessons! This investigation will be
really helpful to explore electric conductor and insulators as we won’t be able to test at
home. Create a prediction, method and complete the results table to check your
understanding. There is also a quiz at the end to see what you remember about
conductors and insulators!
What are insulators and conductors? (thenational.academy)
For your home learning this week, we would like you to create your own experiment to
explore conduction and insulation. Make sure you create a fair test by only changing one
variable. For this experiment you will need ice cubes, 3 glasses, various materials (for
example foil, paper, bubble wrap etc.) and optionally a thermometer. Cover each of your
glasses with a different material. For example, you may cover one glass in foil and another
glass in paper. You will then place an ice cube in each glass. After every 30 seconds, test
the temperature of the ice, if you have a thermometer, and make a comment about what
has happened. Record your comments in the table below. Watch the video below to see
how to see how to create this experiment at home.

secondsAlternatively, you could try this experiment with hot water to see how quickly the water cools down. Please DO NOT try this experiment without adult supervision. The boiling water is extremely hot and we do not want to burn yourself! You can of course try this experiment at home but please make sure your parent or carer is supporting you and making it safe. Write a conclusion to explain which material is the best conductor and insulator after your experiment.
Spanish Please write a paragraph to include the following details. This can be made up: - Name - How you are feeling - The town you live in - Your age - Your birthday - Family (As you might not feel comfortable talking about your own family, you can make this up) - What pets you have/had or would like to have. To help you do this, please use the examples and vocabulary below. Example Me llamo Isabella. ¿Qué tal? Estoy fenomenal. Vivo en Fairfields. Tengo ocho años. Mi cumpleaños es el treinta de julio. En mi familia tengo mi madre, mi padrastro y mi hermano. No tengo mascotas pero me gustaría tener una serpiente roja. Spanish Challenge Try to also spend some time each day learning a section of vocabulary (around 5-10 words). This is one of the best things you can do when learning a language. Tip: - Read the Spanish word several times - Cover it up and try to say it from memory - Then try to write it from memory - You could ask someone you live with to test you. They can read the English, you need to say the Spanish word back to them.

English Writing – The sentence stacking so far …. The ancient, gnarled oaks stood silent as Veridian stepped out of the carriage. He looked around to gather his bearings. There in front of him stood an abandoned cottage, lost in the verdant undergrowth of the forest. Veridian unlocked the creaking door and stepped tentatively inside the damp hut. In front of him, he was confronted by a sight never seen before: a fantastical machine. ‘How did my father construct this?’ thought Veridian as he circled the glowing orbs curiously. Before him, he could see the mystical machine glinting in the sunlight. Suddenly, the delicate looking cogs began to turn. As the colourful smoky spheres of gas began to dance – childhood memories started to flood back into Veridian’s thoughts. He paused for a moment and longed to be back outside. The silent oak trees. The vibrant flowers. The shimmering stones. The thoughts of these things calmed him in this overwhelming moment. As Veridian had stepped inside the abandoned cottage, the atmosphere changed. Suddenly he knew he was in a peculiar place. The rotten rags. The stained windows. The hanging cobwebs - all of these things contributed to his intense feelings of anxiety. As the machine continued to spark into life, Veridian could see the deep crimson red flaming fire pouring through the delicate glass. The bubbles of air danced through the glistening water as he carefully brushed the rough, cold, copper pipes. The smell of the old, damp cottage invaded Veridian’s nose as he explored the myriad of memories that his father had left. The abandoned cottage was silent except for the whirring cogs and bubbling liquids that made the memories come to life. Veridian hesitated for a moment and thoughts of his daughter came flooding back. He imagined her in a boat. In his mind he could see her sat in the miniature boat with it’s sails fluttering gently in the cool sea breeze. The smell of the deep blue salt water invaded his nostrils as he stared reflectively into his daughter’s joyful face. He could feel the waves lapping at his legs as he gently pushed the stern of the boat away. Slowly the look of joy on his daughter’s face turned to one of sadness, as she began to drift helplessly into the storm. The waves crashed violently onto the boat, the wind whistled through the swaying ropes and the sail, as white as pearl, began to tear. As Veridian watched himself walk away, he thought ‘What has become of me? Should I really be doing this? Will I choose my father’s path?
