*REMEMBER TO DIP INTO YOUR ‘MY FAMOUS VICTORIAN’ PROJECT.  Thank you to all of you who have so far sent in project work. I have learnt so much!  Please remember to send me any work that you do not have answer sheets for.  I would particularly like to see RE, Science predictions and evaluations and any independent writing that you have done.  Thank you.

MORNING

1. Maths

Today and tomorrow, we will be consolidating our learning about multiplying 4-digits by 2-digits.  Please work through the White Rose Learning Video with the link vimeo.com/488667737 called New Content Multiply 4-digits by 2-digits (basic practice). I have uploaded the worksheet to accompany the learning video. Please have a piece of paper and a pen or pencil to jot down your answers and working out.  Remember to pause the videos when you need to do calculations and give yourself plenty of time.  If you have not already done so, please finish at least the Varied Fluency worksheets from yesterday.  #

1. Today, I would like you to start drafting your diary account of a Victorian Schoolchild.  Please use your planning you did last week.  I asked you to use information from the slides and ideas from our discussion we had during our live google meet session.  We focused on some pages from the book ‘You Wouldn’t Want to Be a Victorian Schoolchild’ by John Malam.  Remember to include the features of a diary account that are written below and tick them off as you go.  Here is your checklist:

Science

As part of STEM Week, Year 5 are gong to take part in a workshop from entitled Liquid Nitrogen. The session starts at 2:20pm and runs until 3:10pm. 

This session will be led by Mr James Tate, Head of Physics at Sevenoaks School.  Liquid nitrogen will be used to explore the fascinating world of cryogenics and we will be learning what happens when items are cooled down by 200°C.  Lilac Class will see how materials behave in ways you never thought possible!  

To access this workshop, start by following this link:
