Hello Year 5 and welcome to another week of home learning!

 

Please send in your English, Reading and RE work today.

 

MATHS

LO: add unlike fractions, which create improper fractions and mixed numbers

 

Today’s Maths is a consolidation of the previous lessons on addition fractions with different denominators.  To help you with today’s work, remember the skills you learnt last week about adding fractions with different denominators (ie making them both have the same denominator).  You don’t need to complete the In Focus task today but look through it to make sure you understand what you will be doing in the lesson.   As previous lessons, take your time in going through the Let’s Learn so you have a solid understanding.  Remember, when you are finding equivalent fractions you need to find a common multiple to make both denominators the same.  As usual, I’ve left the answers for you in Guided Practice.  Make sure that you are working through the questions and understanding how to work them out – don’t just look at the answers.  This won’t help you when you come to completing the two worksheets.   Your answers need to be in the simplest form (a lesson from last week).  Don’t forget to have a go at the challenge.

SCIENCE

Today you will be following lesson 4 in our Forces unit where you will learn about different non-contact forces such as gravitational and magnetic forces.  As you follow the online lesson you will need to make notes to carry out today’s task.  Read through each of the slides and then complete the online quiz.  Use the notes you have made to write about Galileo and explain what he discovered about non-contact forces.
