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 and ask you parents to take a photo of it and email to the Year 5 email address. Mrs Simmons will be looking at your work this week and she can't wait to see what you've been up to.
Art
Make a funky fish to put in your window. First, draw the outline of a fish. Then, collect lots of brightly coloured paper from magazines, junk mail, newspaper and packaging. Cut these into different shapes to decorate your fish. Next, glue them in place like scales and draw or stick on an eye. Try not to leave any gaps in your design (if you don’t have glue, make a mixture of ½ cup of flour and ½ cup water and mix together. Add more water if it is too thick). Can you also decorate the background? What words can you find to add to your design?
Science
In this lesson you will be finding out how metamorphic rocks are formed. You will identify the common properties of metamorphic rocks and learn about how these link to their uses.
Before you start the lesson, think about:
What different types of rock do you know?
What do think are common properties of rocks?
Do all rocks share the same properties?
To start the lesson, click the link below. First, have a go at the introductory quiz but don’t worry if you get something wrong. Then, watch the video. Pause it when asked and complete the tasks either on the worksheet below or on paper.
During the video Miss Simkin carries out a demonstration to show how pressure can change a rock if you wish to carry this out at home you will need some small pieces of paper soaked in coloured water.
Click here to start your lesson.
After that, go on a rock hunt! Have a look around your home and see if you can spot any metamorphic rocks.
Hint you may find some in your bathroom or kitchen as metamorphic rocks are very water resistant and hard wearing.

RE
In this lesson, we will be learning about the teachings of Buddha and the book in which these were recorded: the Tipitaka. We will learn about the three sections of the Tipitaka and we will consider the importance of what Buddhists describe as Nirvana.
