Remember to keep trying to do bits from this workbook every day so you will stay in a routine ready to return to school when we can. If you haven’t done any yet, then that is your challenge this week! The learning is mostly going back over what we have done already so you should be able to do most of it alone. If you do need help, then you can email or use Google Classroom. If you want to share the work you have done you can either: ➢ Put a picture on twitter and tag our school account

@Benjamin_Adlard ➢ Send a picture or file to the school using my email

katie.aslett@benjaminadlard.lincs.sch.uk ➢ Work can be submitted for feedback/marking on Purple Mash at

any time. There are lots of blank templates for presenting work.

Year 5 Workbook Summer 2 Week 1

Hello again Y5s!

I hope you all had a lovely half term and managed to do some nice things. I was glad the weather was still really nice and I got to spend lots

of time in the garden.

Winston found a new bed this week inside an empty coke box!

You can find the latest #BenjiesLovesReading Newsletter on our website. (Thank you to Adriana and Fatiha for their brilliant book reviews!)

There is a super exciting competition you can enter to win a book voucher. Our reader teacher this time is Mr. Finch.

This half term I have enjoyed reading Gargantis, the sequel to Malamander. It was amazing! All the way through I was hooked on this mysterious and thrilling adventure to solve the mystery of Gargantis. I would highly recommend you give it a go! (See the Newsletter for how you can get it and loads of other books for free!)

I also started a book I pre-ordered in December and have been really looking forward to reading.

Practice this week’s spellings using one of

these ideas:

Guided Reading

Read some pages of a book to an adult, yourself or another family member.

Ask someone if you don’t know what a word means. Tell someone in your

house what has happened in your story so far.

This week we will look at some multiplication and division. Today we will start with counting in 10’s

Maths

English

I wish...

“Be careful what you wish for, you may receive it.” Have you ever thought about what this means? We are going to explore wishing stories, leading to you having a go at writing your own version. If you had just one chance to make a wish, what would you wish for? Brainstorm some ideas. For example, I might wish for more cats, sunny weather or a holiday to Disneyland!

Day 1

Now think of the consequences of some of those wishes e.g. I wish I had a small, brown Dachshund. I could take it for long, leisurely walks in the countryside. However, I would have to leave it alone for hours on end while I was at school.

This is our text for this week. Read it out loud and try and practice those fluency techniques that Mrs Anderson uses with you in Tuesday’s lessons. • Do certain bits need to be read faster

or slower? • What feeling are you trying to give

to the person listening? • What will you do if you get to a

word you can’t read? • How will you say the speech? • Do you need to stop and reread

again?

You will need to read it aloud a few times to get the fluency and expression

correct.

Today we will look at equal groups. Equal means the same. If things are in equal groups then the number in each must be the same. If the number in each group is different then the groups are unequal. Practice putting objects into equal and unequal groups.

English

Day 2

Here is a poem that links to the idea of what people might wish for. Write your own version using the same pattern.

Who is looking in the mirror? What wish will they see?

A ………………... looked into the mirror

And saw……………………………………….. .

A ………………... looked into the mirror

And saw……………………………………….. .

A ………………... looked into the mirror

Your spelling words all have the -er sound. Can you find any more words with these sounds? Can you find any words that rhyme with your spelling words?

Day 3 GaPS

Guided Reading

Maths

Read the text aloud a few more times to see if you can become more fluent. Can you ask someone to read it to you and then read it again yourself?

If I know my groups are equal I can count them quicker. There are 5 fingers on each hand. I can count the hands in 5’s. 5, 10 5 + 5= 10 There are 10 fingers

One Chance

Outside, the evening was cold and wet. A wind howled. Inside, shabby curtains were drawn, a fire crackled and a couple sat in silence. Jack stretched out on the couch reading a newspaper. Sarah scowled. She looked at the room, noticing the worn-out furniture and peeling paint. She deserved so much more than this. Suddenly, the letterbox jumped and there was a knock on the door. Sarah pulled back the curtain and watched as a hooded figure slipped silently away up the road. Puzzled, she stared down at a golden card that had appeared, glinting on the frayed doormat. She gathered it up and read it out loud:

Sarah gasped. This is just what she was looking for – another chance. “I am going to give this a go. I am thinking lots of money to buy expensive clothes and maybe you can finally sort this house out,” she said to Jack. “Nonsense,” muttered Jack, “I love this old house and you just the way you are. No one gets something for nothing. Just throw it away.” He was right. She made to throw the ticket on the fire, but something stopped her. She stashed it in her pocket. Later that evening, as Jack slept, Sarah got the ticket and greedily scratched ‘Wish 2’, dreaming of £100,000. Outside, a wind howled. Inside, nothing happened. Bitterly, she tossed the ticket into the bin.

The next day, Jack prepared for his early morning walk with the dog, Hope. He called out to Sarah that he wouldn’t be out long and left. Sarah scowled. Eight hours passed and Sarah began to worry – where were Jack and Hope? Shaking with fear, she dialled 999, hoping for the best but fearing the worst. A massive search was launched but there was no sign. Jack and Hope had simply vanished. Sarah was distraught. Deep down she worried if their disappearance had anything to do the golden ticket. Days later, a woman in a black cloak knocked at the door. She told Sarah she had been sent to offer some compensation for her sad loss. Sarah was feeling desperate so asked, “How much?” “Shall we say… £100,000?” Shocked, Sarah remembered the greedy sum she had wished for. Could it be true? Had her selfish wish actually been granted? Quickly, she raced outside and rummaged desperately through the bin, trying to locate the discarded ticket. With sickening dread, she smoothed out the crumpled ticket and gasped in horror. It was true. The second wish had been redeemed.

Sarah leaned against the bin for support, her head spinning, her thoughts in turmoil. Then she gathered herself together. There was still one final wish left … Could she use it to try and bring Jack and Hope back? She needed a coin, quick. Just then, without warning, the wind howled and snatched the ticket from her hand. It spiralled, higher and higher like autumn leaves in a storm and then it was gone. Sarah cried out of helpless pain. Inside, the shabby curtains were drawn and a humble fire crackled.

Today we will look at dividing. When we divide by 2 we are sharing things into 2 equal groups.

It is helpful to practice this with objects (sweets, counters, grapes, pencils or whatever you have!)

6 ÷ 2=

Count out 6 objects. Put these 6 objects into 2 equal piles one at a time. The amount in each pile is your

answer. 6 ÷ 2= 3 Use this method to work out:

8 ÷ 2= 10 ÷ 2= 4 ÷ 2= 12 ÷ 2=

Reread the model text again today. You can also listen to the other audio version again.

Aretha Franklin was an American singer, songwriter and pianist. She was often called ‘The Queen of Soul’. She loved singing gospel music, which is Christian spiritual music sung in a choir She is one of the bestselling music artists of all time, having sold more than 75 million records worldwide. Some of Aretha Franklin’s most famous songs: • I say a little prayer for you • A little respect • Nessun Dorma live 1998 • Bridge over Troubled Water • Son of a preacher man • Amazing Grace

➢ Do you have a favourite? Let us know on Twitter or Google Classroom.

➢ Have a chat with your family. What song is their favourite?

➢ Listen to some covers of these songs by other people. What have they changed? How is the music different? Which version do you like best?

➢ Cover of Amazing Grace by Andrea Bocelli during lockdown (maybe have tissues ready for this one)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpXwOSHTwsY ➢ Have a go at learning the lyrics to a song and

put on your own family performance.

Your non-core subject activities can either be found on the website, in past booklets or on Google Classroom. If you need them sending again then just drop me an email.

The Science and Geography work I have seen so far has been amazing. I have loved looking at your lifecycles and memories on PurpleMash.

Some tips for finishing some more of these activities: • You don’t really learn much by copy and pasting information straight from the internet.

Read it first and then type the important bits in your own words. • Try and remember to go back and edit your work for the basics. Lots of work I am seeing

doesn’t have capital letters or full stops and some doesn’t make sense. • Concentrate on just doing a few pieces well rather than loads of rushed pieces.

Keep up the hard work. I am so proud of you all!

I have set some extra optional work on PurpleMash. If you need your log in, get in touch. It would also be brilliant to see some more of you using Google Classroom. If you need help setting it up, then email me or ring school for some help. We are all really enjoying chatting to each other again.
