On this page, you will find a range of activities for different subjects. These are extra ideas which could be done after English and Maths each day - maybe in the afternoons. Each week, choose one piece of learning that you are especially proud of, take a photo of it and ask your parents to email it to the Year 5 email address.
Art
You could create some art inspired by Andy Goldsworthy.
Create your own picture or pattern with natural materials by using things you find. Go on a walk or look in your garden. Gather some small items together – leaves, petals, grasses, pebbles (don’t break bits off of trees or plants please!). Then, arrange your items to make a pattern or picture. You could take photos of your work to share.
PSHE
In these strange times, it's good to remind ourselves that we all have lots of great qualities that make us special.
Write a list of some of your good qualities. What makes you, you? What are you proud of?
Then, you could make a list of qualities you admire in your friends or family.
Are there any qualities you would like to work on developing in yourself?
Science
Over the next few weeks, we are going to be learning more about the Earth, rocks and the rock cycle. Today's lesson is all about one type of rock called 'igneous' rock.
Before you start the lesson, think about where rocks come from. What do you think is below the surface of the Earth? How old is the Earth and when did it form?
You will need a piece of lined paper and a pencil for this lesson. Remember to write with your lovely, neat, joined handwriting.

Make sure you have a pencil and paper ready. Click the link below when you are ready to start.
