The whole school standings are the same with Mrs Branford’s set in 1st place, Mrs McEvoy’s set in 3rd and Mrs Holt’s set in 4th but it is very close so all to play for!

Mason and Olly B you have all climbed several places over the last few days and a special mention to Georgia R, Harvey B and Sarah Louise who are all new additions to the top 10!

Keep up your hard work children 🙂

Week beginning 4th May – maths activities

This week is going to be all about 3d shape.

I will list some activities but if you have your own ideas then go for it and remember we would love to see emails from you with all the fab work you have been doing! Thank you so much to all the children and parents who have emailed so far, it is so lovely to hear from you.

Ideas for 3d shape

Could you go on a 3d shape hunt around your local area on your daily walks?

Could you make some of your own 3d shapes out of things you can find around the house? For example you could use cocktail sticks and marshmallows to make a 3d shape.

Could you find examples of 3d shapes around your house and either draw or take photographs of them?

Once you have done any of these activities, remember to think about the name of the shape and the number of faces, edges and vertices.

Twinkl resources for 3d shape 

I have also found a variety of Twinkl activities you can do if you wish to.

Here are some colour by 3d shape, there is an easier version with the shapes on (perhaps you could label the properties) and a harder one with descriptions of the shape.

Colour by 3D Shapes – Higher Ability

Colour by 3D Shapes – Middle Ability

Below are some nets for you to make a variety of your own 3d shapes. Beware some are quite tricky.

T2-M-2093-Pentagonal-Prism-3d-Shape-Net-Activity-Sheet

T2-M-2094-Hexagonal-Prism-3d-Shape-Net-Activity-Sheet

T2-M-2095-Octagonal-Prism-3d-Shape-Net-Activity-Sheet

T2-M-2099-Triangular-Prism-3D-shape-net-Activity-Sheet

T2-M-2101-Heptagonal-Prism-3D-Shape-Net-Activity-Sheet

T-N-708-Octahedron-3D-Shape-Net-Activity-Sheet

T-N-709-Icosahedron-3D-Shape-Net-Activity-Sheet

T-N-2242-Cylinder-3D-Shape-Net-Activity-Sheet

t-n-2243-Cuboid-3D-Shape-Net-Activity-Sheet

Also here is something a bit more tricky for those of you who like a challenge! There is a PPT for you to work through first then an activity sheet and there are also answers to check you’re right at the end!

Answers – Reasoning About 3D Shapes (2)

Horizontal Activity Sheets – Reasoning About 3D Shapes (2)

Presentation – Reasoning About 3D Shapes (2)

Sorry for the long post everybody but I hope there is something for everyone here!

Good luck and don’t forget, email if you need us!

Carrot Biscuits

As part of our VE Day preparations, children in school today will be making carrot biscuits. You can find the recipe by clicking on the link below. Perhaps you fancy trying some of your own wartime-style cookery today, using the ration recipes? If you do, we’d love to see some pictures of the things you have made!

Science: Freezing and Melting

Today, my little girl had a surprise in store for me when I opened the freezer.

Can you see what she had done?

“I wanted to see if my nail polish would freeze,” she explained. So…that got me thinking about freezing and melting.  Look at the links below to find out more about freezing and melting. If it’s OK with an adult at home, you could try the investigation out for yourself.

BBC Bitesize What are freezing and melting?

Investigation: Which will freeze first?

If you fancy taking your science even further, take a look at these investigations…

Have a look at this brilliant website all about water. It fits perfectly with our ‘Rivers and Water’ topic and it has so many different activities, you’re bound to be able to find at least one that you’d like to try. When you’ve had a go at something, we would love to hear all about it via the Year 5 email address. We really do enjoy hearing from you all!
