Chisenhale Chatter for Year 5 Thursday 7th May 2020
This week’s chatter follows on from last week. We are continuing with ‘The
Kingdom Revealed’ in Guided Reading and Literacy and in Maths, we will be
revisiting some of the areas of maths that we have covered earlier in the
year.
This chatter is slightly longer as we are reducing the amount of separate
documents needed. ‘The Kingdom Revealed’ extracts needed for this weeks
Guided Reading and Literacy will be in a separate document for you to read.
BBC Bitesize, White Rose Hub Maths and other fun learning links will be at
the end of this chatter.
There are some changes with White Rose Hub Maths this week, please find
more information near the end of the chatter.
Happy learning!
Here are a few updates from the staff in Year 5 staff this week:
Hi Year Five! Hope you’ve all had a great
week. I spent most of this sorting through
old things and seeing if I can make a bit
of space. It sounds hard work, but I
enjoyed it! I’m in a cleaning and sorting
mood now...! I hope you’re keeping
your rooms tidy! – Laurence
Hey Year 5, I hope you and your families
are well. Like Laurence, I have been busy
clearing out cupboards and recycling what
I can. I hope you’re all trying to learn
something new every day....if not then let
that be a challenge for you! Take care and
see you soon – Tracey
Hi you lovely lot, I hope you and your
families are safe and well. I’ve had some
time to read this week and I’m really
enjoying a book called ‘The Wild Robot’ –
hopefully I can read it to you when we
get back to school! I’ve also had more
time to be able to catch up with my
family and friends over zoom calls which
is keeping my spirits up! – Miss Bunton Hola Year 5! I've spent the week doing
some online courses and researching
different things. But I've also had time to
catch up with friends and family, I really
miss them, so it's great that we can keep in
touch online! Hope you are all keeping safe
and busy :) – Bea
Hi Year 5, We finally managed to compete
our 1000 piece jigsaw, only to find out
that we had 999 pieces (I’m blaming the
cats). I’ve been trying to get Lula into my
‘old’ music and I’m still painstakingly
scraping the paint off out house. Hope you
guys are keeping busy. – Mr Leser

What do you think a King’s response would be when finding out that one of his people – a young girl – was having a horrible time at school because she was being bullied? Write what you think the King would have replied. Think about how formal this letter would be, and how a King would articulate himself.

A discussion for at home this week:
This week we will be continuing our reflection on the value Resilience by
exploring Resilience and World Press Freedom Day.
The press refers to all those people who write articles for newspapers, online
or prepare and present news channels.
In difficult times such as these the press are very important for providing
everyone with public health information and the latest government advice.
Article 17 of the rights of the child says: Every child has the right to
reliable information from a variety of sources.
However, due to social media there are now a lot of people sharing
information that has not been verified by a reputable news source and even
some news sites that may not check their information properly.
This can lead to untrue and even dangerous information being spread by
people who believe they are helping others.
As such, it is important that all of us check carefully information we are
reading online and sharing.
UNESCO have released a short video advising you how to check your
sources to mark World Press Freedom Day: https://youtu.be/z7hvv3z1gqc
Page 22
This week, please look at news sources like Newsround online
(https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround) and talk about what you can learn there.
Perhaps some of you are budding journalists and you can write a
newspaper report on your time in lockdown.

We are going to create a gallery of your work on the chatter each week! If

The next couple of pages have some creative ideas around hot air balloons
for you to try this week!
Page 26
Hot Air Balloons
Where in the world might you travel? What might you see? Will it look different from a distance? Who travelled first in a hot air balloon? What might it be like to travel in a hot air balloon? What would you take with you? How far will you travel? How might the weather change as you travel? Will the temperature change at night? If so, why? How would you design your balloon? (shape, colour, size)

Poetry Can you create your own poem about hot air balloons?
Hot Air Balloon I’m leaving town I’ll be back soon I’m taking a ride in a hot air balloon. The noise is loud when the burners fire. The heat takes me up higher and higher. I float in the sky. It’s a wonderful thing. Now I know why flying birds sing. Joy Acey
Hot Air Balloon I saw a hot air balloon flying over my house: Most of the time, it was as quiet as a mouse, But, every so often, its burners suddenly roared, And higher, up into the sky, it suddenly soared. My excitement, I found hard to keep at bay, As, a hot air balloon, you don't see every day. A passenger balloon floating through the air,
For me, is so special, as the sight is so rare. The sight of the balloon, filled me with delight, And I stood watching it, until it flew out of sight. My eyes were stuck to the balloon, just like glue, As it floated across a sky of cornflower blue. I wonder what it's like to float through the sky, Watching the world down below gliding on by. I've always wanted to ride in a hot air balloon: I hope I will one day, and I hope that it's soon. Angela Wybrow
