Wednesday's Work
Posted: Mar 31, 2020 by: Liam Kershaw (LKershaw) on: Class 5
Good morning!
First of all, thank you so much for continuing to further your education at home. It's nice to see you doing a combination of things I am providing for you, as well as your own ideas for learning at home. A combination of the two will help keep you busy, and keep the mind working. I know it is a strange time, but just know you are doing great and we will get through this. It would be great if you all could continue to keep in touch with me via email. I'd like to know what you're all getting up to and how you are coping at the moment. Remember, you can email me at class5@netherthongprimary.co.uk. I aim to respond to emails from 8-5 on weekdays, and will check them also on weekends.
Here are the answers to yesterday's daily questions.

1.) Where is the FULL noun phrase? Recently, my younger brother got married.

English
You should've more or less completed your 'tips for beating boredom' piece of writing. I would love to see some, thank you to those that have emailed them to me. I will be creating a blog post on Wednesday afternoon with all the pieces of writing I receive. Today, I would like you to have a break from writing by decorating your information piece. You can draw pictures of the activities, take photographs and stick them on, or simply do a border. Also, make sure you actually do some of the activities you have written about!
Here are the 8 questions:
1.) Where is the FULL EXPANDED noun phrase? In front of me was the white castle with beautiful marble pillars.

Here is a comprehension for you to complete.
Maths
The ten questions today:
1.) 10 and 1/3 X 4

Today's maths is on solving problems involving money. My advice would be to convert them all into pence or pounds, depending on which you prefer to work with. But make sure your answers are in the required format. Some might ask for the answer in pence; others in pounds. Remember there are 100 pence in a pound.
ICT
I have set you a new task on PurpleMash. You will be completing the Year 5 coding course over the next couple of weeks. Try the task that I have set as a 'to do'. It is a quiz on last year's coding words that we used. Use this quiz to revise the meaning of the words, and then next week we will do some coding.
By the way, thank you for all your Mayan quizzes from last week. I enjoyed looking at them. I think I've replied to everyone's now!
PE
The usual. Perhaps you could send in some pictures of what you have been up to? Anyone been on a bike ride? Or a country walk? Who is doing the Joe Wicks exercises?
