Home Learning5554328379200Year 5Learning for Thursday 15th OctoberHello 5RH.I hope you and all of your families are well. Here is Thursday’s home learning. We are continuing with life cycles in our unit work and focussing on place value objectives in Maths.We will all need to use our emerald, ruby and grit power to dig deep and do our best during this time. I’m so proud of you all for attempting to complete your learning from home.If you have any questions about the learning you can contact me via email – year5info@bpa.cabot.ac.uk and a response will be provided as soon as possible.Thinking of you allMiss HarrisGem challenge- Today you will need sapphire power to remain focussed and on task. Just by attempting to do the learning means you are using your sapphire power today. That’s amazing!Unit task 1: Recap using the present tense.When we write about life cycles, we write in the present tense. Why?Because it happens everyday! It isn’t something that happened in the past, it is happening right now! All organisms live and grow and reproduce every day.Can you fill in the gaps so the passage reads in the present tense?375285042354500I have given you the missing words beneath so you can look at these to help you. It all starts when a female butterfly _______ her eggs, usually on leaves or stems of plants. Inside these tiny eggs, caterpillars ________. Depending on the species, the eggs can vary in shape and texture – they ______ _____ round, oval or cylindrical, and smooth, bumpy or wrinkled. grow lays can beOnce ready, the caterpillar ______ its egg home and enters the big outside world! And these little critters have one serious appetite – they actually?_____?their way out of the egg and immediately start chomping on the leaves of the host plant. During this stage, they ------ their skin four or five times!shed leaves eat395287510731500Once fully grown, the caterpillar _______ itself into a “pupa” (or chrysalis) – a kind of vessel in which the caterpillar _________ into a butterfly. They usually do this on twigs or safe, hidden areas around the host plant. The “pupa” stage may last a few weeks to several months depending on the species. During this time, a hardened case forms around the pupa to protect it from predators and extreme weather conditions. And inside, the tissue, limbs and organs of the caterpillar _________. The result? A wonderful winged butterfly!changes forms transformsOnce the butterfly is ready to _________, the case around the pupa splits open. But it’s not time for take off just yet, as the wings are at first wet, soft and wrinkled against its body. The butterfly _______ for its wings to dry, and _______ a liquid called hemolymph into them so that they become big and strong. Once fit for flight, this brilliant bug then takes to the air in search for flowers to feed on and for other butterflies to _______ with.And that’s the cycle complete – and ready to start all over again!mate pumps emerge waitsUnit task 2:Writing about one stage of a butterfly’s life cycleHave a go at writing about one of the 4 main stages of a butterfly’s life cycle using the present tense. You can use the above information to help you but ideally, I’d like you to try and use your diamond power to write an original paragraph including causal conjunctions!Times table task:.These websites can help you practice times tables: task:Rounding decimals to the nearest whole numberWhen we round decimals to the nearest whole number, we look at the the whole numbers either side and decide if we round up or down.TIP: If the number in the tenths column, (the number to the right of the decimal point) is 5 or above round UP. If the number is 4 or below round DOWNSee attached sheet (1 star, 2 star and 3 star) Choose which level suits you and use the answers to help you mark.Challenge: Answer these questions involving measuresAdditional task:Be proud of yourself for doing as much as you can today.Do something which keeps you focussed but also relaxed. Maybe concentrating on writing slowly and neatly? Or having some classical music on in the background as you work? ................
