Welcome to Year 5’s Home Learning for WB 18th January 2021.
Zoom Session
Remember this week there will be a daily 10-15minute Zoom session at 9.30am to set you up for the day. Check out Classdojo for the invitation. In addition to these, there will be 2 drop-in sessions on Monday and Wednesday at 1pm (I will re-post the invitation for this too); you can pop in to these if you are needing some help (at these sessions I will speak to one child at a time so you will be kept in the waiting room until I have finished talking to the child before you). |
Here is a printable overview of the whole week.
Editable resources will be posted in the daily dropbox along with daily videos.

Friday
L.I Can I write a diary entry in role? Today, you are going to put all your learning into practice. Using subordinate and relative clauses and apostrophes for possession, you need to take the role of one of the crew of the Endurance. The ship has got stuck in an ice floe and they are now having to set up camp as the ship is sinking. You need to think carefully about the feelings and emotions of the crew member as well as explaining what has been going on.

Music – Gustav Holst – The Planet Suite – Mars – the bringer of war.
Watch video clip: While you listen, draw a picture of how the music makes you feel. In this piece of music, you hear a lot of string or bowed instruments. Holst gave an instruction for the instrumentalists to strike the string with their bow, rather than draw it across the strings. This gave the string instruments a more percussive sound. See a demonstration of col legno here Space Music Many modern pieces of music for space films have been based on Mars, the bringer of war. Listen to this piece of music, and see what instruments you can hear. How does it sound similar to Mars the bringer of war? What does it make you think of?
How does it make you feel? If you can… • Make a tissue box banjo – Make a 2 inch hole in one end of the box. – Insert a kitchen roll tube 3 inches in and tape in place. – Tape down 4 elastic bands stretched around the box, covering the centre hole. – Experiment with different widths and lengths of bands. – Pluck the strings with your fingers. – Use different size elastic bands – what happens to the sound. |
Additional Activities
Computing – If you have access to a computer, you could use Scratch to make a space invader game. Follow these instructions… |
