Hi Class 5,

I know this week is half term but I thought that some of you might still like some work to do. There is no expectation that you complete any of this but it is there if you would like to.

Daily maths challenge:

Mon: Harry and 5 of his friends went to a music gig. They paid £54.00 in total. How much did each ticket cost?

Tue: I have a 600g box of rice. I pour 1/3 of the rice into bowl A. I pour ¼ of what is left into bowl B. How much rice is left in the box?

Wed: There is 350g of flour in a bag. How much flour, in kilograms, is there in 20 bags?

Thu: A train is due to arrive at the station at 16.45. It is running 37 minutes late. What time will it arrive?

Fri: Melons cost 72p. There is a buy one, get one half price deal on. How many melons can you buy with £8.00?

Science: Living things and their habitats

Watch some online footage of insect and amphibian lifecycles to help create your own life cycle illustrations for display.

You could try creating a habitat for your choice of insect and amphibian so that you can observe them over time.

Describe the differences in the life cycles of a mammal, an amphibian, an insect and a bird.

Describe the life process of reproduction in some plants and animals.

Topic:

Research the punishments for child criminals in Victorian Britain.

Look at the following examples of child crimes and their punishments. Do you think the punishment fits the crime? What sort of punishment would a child receive for the same, or similar, crimes today?

Jim Westbury, 13, was given a whopping six months of hard labour and five years at a reformatory school for stealing corn and hay.

George and Joseph Green – brothers who were aged 12 and 14 respectively – were each given one month hard labour for stealing a bag containing bread and butter. The siblings were also sentenced to four years in the reformatory school – a nineteenth century juvenile prison where stiff discipline was enforced with frequent beatings.

*Remember to also read and practise your times tables daily and regularly complete activities on Education City.

Have a lovely half term

Try rewriting the nursery rhyme ‘Mary Had a Little Lamb’ without using the vowel ‘e’

For example: you can’t use the word ‘fleece’ because it contains the letter ‘e’. Use a thesaurus to find a replacement word which means the same as fleece but doesn’t contain an ‘e’ – for example ‘coat’. You have to do this with every single word that contains the letter ‘e’.

Can you find a replacement for every single word? is it possible?

This is trickier than you might think and a great way to extend your vocabulary.

Good luck

Mrs Duncan
