Year 5 and 6 Home Learning
Home Learning Monday 27th January
Morning everyone. Hope you all had a lovely weekend and are ready to get going!
Let's start the day by reading independently for 20 minutes. See if you can recall the main events from the chapters you've read. Doing this will really help your retrieval skills!
English
Today I want you to write at least half a page or more on what you think will happen in the Nowhere Emporium story.......I want you to predict what will happen
To further extend this, I'd like you to think of the most unusual object you might discover in the Emporium and draw it adding a detailed description. Remember let's be adventurous with our word choices and push ourselves to ad detail and description.
Maths
We are going to continue to explore long multiplication and division.
RE
At the heart of the Passover celebration is freedom,
Today I would like you to explore what freedom is by answering these questions:
What does it mean to be free?
How does it feel to be free?
What does it mean if you're not free?
How does it feel if you are not free?
Why might a persons freedom be taken away from them ? For example if the had committed a serious crime..
Some people aren't free due to poverty or war......is this right? Why ? Why not?
Why is the freedom to choose important?
Now I would like you to create a poster demonstrating what freedom means to you.
Science
I would like you to set up your own shadow experiments. You will need a torch of some kind.
Explore what factors affect size and shape of the shadow.
Draw a scientific diagram to show what you have done. Remember what we have been doing in class.

If school had been open you would have been doing History all afternoon. So, Mrs Cuss would like you to choose an aspect of the Vikings that appeals to you.
Here are some ideas that might help you to decide...Viking homes, weapons, trade routes, settlements, ships...you might have your own idea.
Next, we want you to do a mini-project on your chosen area. This can be a leaflet, a booklet or a poster. Mrs Cuss would love to put some of them on our Viking display in the classroom!
Here are some websites that might be useful: BBC Bitesize, School Learning Zone, Britannica Kids, Primary Homework Help, Royal Museums Greenwich
If you're stuck on anything, you could message Mrs Cuss on Classdojo!
Have a great day and most importantly stay safe!!
