Aim to complete at least one task everyday.

Spelling Rule 49 - Homophones and other words that are often confused

These words sound the same, but are spelt differently. Which spelling belongs to which meaning!? Write a sentence with each of the following words.

Reading Reading for Pleasure: Great News!!! Your favourite book has just been given the opportunity to be made into a brand new film coming to cinemas in 2022! As an expert in this book, you’ve been asked to advise the director of the film on how it should be made. They want you to give them a report that will help them to make the film as accurate and engaging as possible. Here are some key questions that they need your opinions on before they go ahead.

● Who are the main characters? What do they look like and what do they do? ● What are the key events in the book? ● What genre is this movie? (Action? Comedy? Thriller?) Why?

The Marketing Team has also asked for your help to design a poster to encourage people to see the movie when it arrives in cinemas. Three of them have suggestions for what kind of poster it should be.

Which type of movie poster do you think will be most effective? Create an example poster to show them what you think it could look like. Think about which characters or images you might put on the poster and which colours you might use.

Computing We are focussing on the sort of thinking skills you need to be great at computing. Predicting and Analysing: Triangles Activity lay 10 objects to create a flat pyramid pattern:

Your challenge is to move only three items so the triangle points downwards instead of upwards! Use logic to solve the problem! Evaluating: Can you come up with a sandwich that both tastes great and is healthy? Ask an adult if you can create a sandwich and evaluate it. Have other family members try it and give feedback too. What was the feedback? Did you meet the criteria of healthy AND tasting great? Maths Set a new routine this week. What time is maths going to be everyday? Aim for 30 minutes a day. We are using White Rose Maths Home learning resources. You can find the worksheets and answers on the school website. Home Learning - Year 5. If you’re finding the White Rose a bit hard on your own you could use the Bitesize lesson instead for revision. Click here - Year 5 and P6 lessons (or google bbc bitesize home learning) Maths Daily Practice For each Daily Practice, try finding 2 or 3 methods to check your working and improve your fluency.

Science Materials, Earth and space, Forces In the future, there will be manned missions to Mars. Astronauts will need to land on the planet’s surface in a decent module, specially designed to protect the crew inside. If you could create a decent module, what would it look like?

● How will you keep the crew safe? ● Which way up will your vehicle land? ● How will you slow your craft’s decent?

You will need: ● Anything from the recycling bin, paper

cups, sticky tape, cardboard, packaging materials

This challenge for you is to design a module or Crew Exploration Vehicle that would allow humans to land on Mars. This is a special craft designed to protect the crew inside. It needs to be able to land upright and have shock absorbers to protect the crew from the impact as it lands on the planet’s surface.

It’s not easy bringing astronauts to land safely on any planet. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) return to Earth using Soyuz capsules. These capsules are travelling at 17,000 mph as they leave the station. If the capsule is to land safely, it has to lose that speed, so it uses a combination of a parachute and landing rockets to slow it down.

However, landing any vehicle on Mars has its own special set of challenges. Its thin atmosphere means that there is less friction to slow the plummeting vehicle as it speeds towards the planet's surface. Landing is complicated by difficult terrain. The Martian surface is full of obstacles: massive impact craters, cliffs, cracks and jagged boulders. Space engineers have

got their work cut out!

Music Music can change your mood and transport you through your imagination. Have you heard of the Titanic? It was a famous ship that sank with many people on board. The entertainment on the Titanic depended on which ‘class’ you were in. First-class passengers would have enjoyed music as elegant background entertainment. The ship had an 8-piece band who would have played in different parts of the first class part of the ship. The band would play music while the passengers chatted or played cards and they could make requests from the songbook. The songbook’s request list is said to have been divided into a variety of musical categories, with opera at the start.

Here is a link to Songe D’Automne which may have been played on the Titanic: Titanic orchestra "Songe d'Automne". In third class they had to make their own entertainment. There was a piano on-board and many passengers brought their own instruments, including Eugene Daly who brought his own uillean pipes. Listen to the pipes here: Irish bagpipes: Jerry O'Sullivan plays "Craig's Pipes" on the uilleann pipes. The atmosphere would have been very different. Where would you have preferred to spend your afternoons and evenings? Find out more about different musical instruments which feature in an orchestra. Which would you like to play and why?

P4C Watch the video first with your family. It shows some amazing efforts to make instruments from recycled materials, in Paraguay. Click on the link The Landfill Harmonic Orchestra (Youtube). What does music mean to you? What would life without music be like?

Discuss the questions and talking points with your family. Can you build on each other's ideas and be creative and collaborative thinkers? PE Continue keeping a PE diary. Use the table below to record your actions. Aim for a minimum of 20 minutes physical activity a day. Use the ideas from last week or to keep it simple do the daily mile!

Topic - Inventions and Discoveries This week we’re going to compare three inventions before you create a factfile to present what you’ve learned. Printing Press The printing press is a machine for printing. It makes many copies of identical pages. The printing press today is used to print books and newspapers. It had a great influence on society, especially western society.

Woodcut printing has been done for several centuries. That was whole pages cut into wood, words and pictures. In the 15th century Johannes Gutenberg improved the process.

How they work - He used separate alloy letters screwed into a frame. This way a large set of letters could make almost any page for printing. This process was called typesetting. Each letter was in a block of metal, fixed in a frame. He could then move paper and ink over it, much like a stamp. This method was called letterpress. The letters would leave ink on the paper in the shape of the letters, creating text or illustrations.

Soon other inventions were added, such as the making of cheaper paper by using wood pulp instead of rags. Later in the 19th century came machines which speeded up typesetting, which

was previously done by hand, letter by letter. A machine for hot metal typesetting was designed by Linotype Inc. It turned molten lead into type ready for printing.

Many further developments in printing happened in the 20th century. Today printing presses are controlled by special-purpose computers, and the material to be printed is prepared on computers. As a consequence of these inventions, the cost of printing has fallen significantly compared to other commodities. Now the price of a book or magazine is less determined by its production, and more by other factors, such as marketing.

Windmills

A windmill is a type of engine. It uses the wind to make energy. To do this it uses vanes called sails or blades.

The energy made by windmills can be used in many ways. These include grinding grain or spices, pumping water and sawing wood. Modern wind power machines are used to create electricity. These are called wind turbines. Before modern times, windmills were most commonly used to grind grain into flour for making bread.

Early windmills were seen in Persia (now Iran) in 60AD and later in China. The ones we see today were invented in Northwestern Europe in the 1180s.

How they work -The blades or sails of the windmill are turned by the wind. Gears and cogs make the drive shaft inside the windmill turn. In a windmill used for making flour, this turns the grinding stones. As the stones turn, they crush the wheat (or other grain) between them. In a windmill used for pumping water, turning the drive shaft moves a piston. The piston can suck up and push out water as it moves up and down. In a windmill used for generating power, the drive shaft is connected to many gears. This increases the speed and is used to turn a generator to make electricity

Steam Engine

A steam engine is an engine which uses steam from boiling water to make it move. The steam pushes on the engine parts to make them move. Steam engines can power many kinds of machines including vehicles and electric generators.

Steam engines were used in mine pumps starting in the early 18th century and were much improved by James Watt in the 1770s. They were very important during the industrial revolution. Steam engines were used in factories to work machines and in mines to move pumps. Later smaller engines

were built that could move railway locomotives and steam boats.

How they work - The first steam engines were piston engines. The steam pressure pushed on a piston which made it move along a cylinder and so they had a reciprocal (back-and-forth) motion. This could move a pump directly or work a crank to turn a wheel and work a machine. They operated at low pressure and had to be very big to make much power.

The steam to power a steam engine is made in a boiler that heats water to make steam. In most places fire heats the boiler. Fuel for the fire may be wood, coal, or petroleum. Nuclear energy or solar energy may be used instead of fire. The steam coming out of the boiler applies the force on a piston. A valve sends the steam to one end of the piston, then the other, to make it move backwards and forwards. Movement of the piston is then used to turn wheels or drive other machinery.

This art technique is fantastic to explore the different textures of a variety of materials and surfaces. After you’ve practiced your skill you can experiment with making pictures using patterns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwMGZ0rDXvA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYbPqgfK5Hc You will need:

● Plain paper (later try using newspapers or paper of different thickness to see how it changes the effect)

● Soft pencils, chalks or charcoals ● A range of different surfaces

1. Search your house and local area for things that feel

unusual, ideally things that aren’t too soft and that are dry so they won’t damage the paper

2. Lay the object underneath the paper 3. Using the side of the pencil gently shade over the object

(don’t press too hard or use the point as this will break the paper)

4. Mix and match with different textures, colours and places on the page to create a sample page you can use to plan a picture

We are going to be exploring a range of different religions over the next few weeks using BBC Bitesize to support the learning. This week we are learning about Buddhism. Have you heard of it before? What would you like to know? Write down a list of questions. Watch this video (https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zh4mrj6/articles/zdbvjhv) to learn more about Buddhism and then check your knowledge by completing the quiz at the bottom of the page. Is there anything you still want to know? Next week we will find out more about Nirvana Day, which is an annual Buddhist festival that remembers the death of the Buddha when he reached Nirvana at the age of 80. Buddhism Info Buddhism started in India over 2,500 years ago. Buddhists follow the teachings of a man called Siddhattha Gotama. He became known as the Buddha, which means 'enlightened'. Siddhattha Gotama was a prince who lived a life of luxury. When he was 29, Siddhattha went outside his palace and saw people suffering for the first time. He decided to leave his palace and live among holy men in search of truth. His search took him six years, but he became enlightened while meditating under a fig tree. Following this, Siddhattha became known as the Buddha, which means the 'awakened' or 'enlightened' one. From then on, he dedicated his life to spreading his teachings. The Buddha discovered that the answer lay in what have become known as the Four Noble Truths. Buddhists try to achieve enlightenment by understanding these important principles. Buddhists try to live a good life by following the Buddha's teachings, helping them to avoid suffering and bad feelings. They believe nothing in life is perfect and the way to avoid suffering is to follow a set of important guidelines known as the Noble Eightfold Path. The Buddhist scriptures are known as the Tipitaka which means 'three baskets'. This is because the original writings were made on palm leaves and stored in baskets. The Tipitaka contains the teachings of the Buddha and his companions, comments on those teachings, as well as rules for monks. Buddhists call the teachings of the Buddha dharma which means ‘truth’. In Buddhist countries there are many temples. People bring flowers and incense for the shrine and food for the monks. When entering a temple, Buddhists will take off their shoes, put their hands together and bow to the image of the Buddha. They may also use prayer beads called malas. Some Buddhists may also have a shrine within their home too

Increased stress or lack of routine can really impact your sleep patterns. Keeping a log of your sleep

routines can help improve them and spot patterns.

You can add a section onto your PE diary to keep all your ideas together or make a separate one.

Keep it up for at least two weeks to see if you can see an improvement or spot a pattern.
