Tuesday 2nd June – Year 5
Good morning Year 5 – I hope you and your families are all well and keeping safe.
Well done to our bloggers and e mailers from yesterday – Lydia, Dhanshri, Logan, Jessica, Evie, Dan, Sadia, Gracie, Zain and Tanisa.
Could you let me know your spelling scores from yesterday – thank you to Lydia, Evie and Zain for doing this already.
Thank you for your fact file Tanisa – the only one that completed it!
Well done also to Sadia and Logan who responded to my replies yesterday – thank you.
Here are your tasks for today:
Spellings
Following on from yesterday, I’d like you to ask an adult to test you on the second column of the Year 3/4 words (28 words). Ask them to read the words to you and then write them down. Use the list below to check your spellings and then blog me with your score. Good luck!
Grammar
Today we are going to revise commas
Here is a powerpoint to revise what we have looked at this year:
Now try this:
Copy these sentences out and make sure that you find the right places for capital letters, full stops and commas.
Maths
We began looking at percentages yesterday.
- What’s a half as a percentage? A quarter? Three quarters?
- How could you calculate 10% of something? Remember that as a fraction, this would be 10/100
- Now try the following:
Science
Some vocabulary that will be helpful today:
Yesterday, you watched the BBC Blue Planet video. Have a look at the following powerpoint which looks at the what we can do to save our sharks.
I want you to create your own leaflet (you can use the powerpoint or anything else that you may have researched) informing people of the importance of sharks to the ecosystem and persuading them to take action to help protect sharks. There is a template towards the end of the powerpoint that you could use but feel free to create your own if you would rather. Pictures should be included to explain/persuade – for example, the diagram of the food chain would help to make your points clear. I would love to see as many as possible if you could send them via e mail.
Happy learning!
Mrs Millard and Mrs Munro XX
I got 24 spellings right my mum double checked them
Hi Mason,
It’s great to hear from you – I hope you had a lovely week last week.

The monster was huge, spikey and fat.
Everyone threw spears, stone and boiling oil at the creature.
It roared spat and groaned, but still it did not die.
A tall handsome and kind knight appeared.
He held his magic sword in the air, chased the monster and killed the beast.

The king rewarded the knight with gold rubies, and other precious things.
The robber climbed through the window, crept up the stairs and peered into the bedroom.

Hi Mason,
Well done. Just have a quick look at the following:
3) Check where the commas are.
4) This sentence needs a comma.
7) Check where the comma is. Gold and rubies are two different items.
12) Is another comma needed in this sentence?

Just double check 25% of 60 and 75% of 100.
On the last part (finding 10%) – how did you find 10% of the amounts?
Mrs Millard XX
25%of 60 is 45
74% of 100 is25
I took 10 of the number to get 10%
I am enjoying to my maths thank you for putting maths on the blog.
Me and my family hope you are keeping well.

Hi Sadia,
Well done! You did well here.
You don’t need the % sign after each answer – just the amount.
Just double check 75% of £2.40 and 10% of £4.50 – the numbers in your answers are correct but as this is money, how would it be written?
Mrs Millard Xx
It would have the money sign.
The monster was huge, spiky and fat.
I wanted to change it a bit 🙂 I put 2,3 together
2,3.Everyone threw spears, stones and boiling oil at the creature, it roared spat and groaned but still thy giant stood on its two feet .
5,4. A heroic, handsome and rich knight grabbed his dagger and his flaming bow and shot a piercing arrow threw the heart of Corona the Conqueror.
7,6.The huge beast screamed and fell to the floor the knight was rewarded with lots of riches like diamonds ,rubies and gold.
8,9,10,11,12.The robber climbed through the window crept up the stairs and peered into the bedroom that’s when the the heroic, serious S.W.A.T teem came because she didn’t know that he was a serial killer .
Hi Dan,
I did want these sentences separately as it changes where commas are needed if you change the sentences. I wanted to check your accuracy with the sentences as they were.
Look at sentence 2 and 8.
