Kali Mera Year 5!

Welcome back guys. I hope you all had a great half-term holiday. Let me know what you have been up to. So we have finally reached the last half-term of the year. I still can't believe it has flown by so quickly. But there is still loads more exciting learning to come and the chance to get stuck into our final topic of the year, Space!! One of my favourites!

Also, a lot of children have asked me about new workbooks. I know most of you will probably be nearly finished by now. So I just wanted you all to know, If you need one, the school has lots available. All you have to do is give the school a phone call and let them know that you need a new one. You could ask for one English and one maths. Then your parents can arrange to pop by and pick them up. 

Our learning today

Literacy:
Lo: to identify meanings of words

Ok, so as always, our first literacy lesson of a half-term will be looking at new words. These new words will help us understand our new literacy topic and help us to be more ambitious with our vocabulary. Today I would like you to check these words out and find their meanings. You can use a dictionary or an online dictionary to help. I want you write the definition for at least 14 of these words but make sure you look them all up.
Picture
What do you notice about these words? What do you think you know about the story?

Maths:
​Lo: to estimate and draw angles

Let's start off with some CLIC questions:
62,583,271 + 3,573,583
7,349,911 - 4,573,957
276 x 253
6284 ÷ 34

This week we are going to continue with angles. Before we start let's have a quick recap of the rules we need to follow for using a protractor. 
Picture
I know that a lot of you will not have access to a real protractor so today we are going to be doing some measuring of angles using our estimation knowledge but also our protractor understanding. If you do have a protractor then you can use it for this lesson.

Today we are going to estimate what some angles measure. Here is my first example.
Picture
Look at the shape of the angle. What do you notice? I notice that it is just over 90°.

If I am using a protractor, I line up the eye of the protractor with the vertex of the angle (the point) and make sure the bottom line is pointing at the 0. Then I follow along from 0 to work out what this angle measures.

If I do not have a protractor, then I am going to have to estimate. It is an obtuse angle, so it is bigger than 90°. It is very close to the right angle. So I estimate that it is 100°.

Ok let's try another example.
Picture
Look at the shape of the angle. What do you notice? I notice that it is smaller than 90°.

If I am using a protractor, I line up the eye of the protractor with the vertex of the angle (the point) and make sure the bottom line is pointing at the 0. Then I follow along from 0 to work out what this angle measures.

If I do not have a protractor, then I am going to have to estimate. It is an acute angle, so it is smaller than 90°. It is near the middle of the right angle. So I estimate that it is 50°.


Now it is your turn. Have a look at the angles below. Measure or estimate. But make sure your estimations are sensible. and think about how you would use the protractor to measure them.
Picture
Here is your challenge for today. Draw these angles in your books:
​•170°
•30°
•80°
•165°

Topic:
Lo: what is space?

Today we begin our new and final topic of year 5. For our last half term we will be learning all about space. We have studied some amazing topics this year but this topic really is out of this world. Before we begin the topic I want you to start us off with everything you know already.

Can you make a brainstorm in your books. It should include drawings. I would like you to answer these questions:
  • What is space?
  • What do you know about space?
  • What is in space?
  • What do you want to know about space?

Here is a short video to get your mind thinking and ideas flowing.

Have a great day. Theo :)
