Morning Class 5! Slightly different weather yesterday, wasn't it? Thanks for all your hard work with the blog this week. I can see a lot of your are doing the new PurpleMash reading comprehensions. Let me know what you think of them!

Reading
Spend 30 minutes reading your book today. I have decided I want to read a non-fiction book next, so if anybody has a recommendation, let me know! I'm sure Tom has a couple he could recommend!

You should be on with your 'Guide to Surviving Year 5' piece of writing. I had a great introduction sent to me from Ethan! Looking forward to reading the final drafts. Today, try to get the rest of it written. Remember, it needs to be neat, as I will be showing the Year 4 children on their blog. I might even ask them to email me with questions for you, and I will let you guys answer!

Maths
Today, we are going to look at multiplying fractions that are less than 1 by a whole number (an integer means a whole number). We have done this in school, and I often put multiplying fractions in your 10 questions, but I think it is important to cover this again.
When you multiply a fraction by an integer, you ONLY multiply the numerator (the top number) by the integer. The denominator (bottom number) stays the same. The video on the link below explains this really well. If you end up with an improper fraction (where the numerator is greater than the denominator), you can change it into a mixed number. You may also be able to simplify the fraction.
One thing I would say is that the teacher in the video prefers to simplify the improper fraction before she changes it to a mixed number. I prefer to change it to a mixed number first, but it is up to you!
So for 3/12 X 6 you multiply the numerator (the 3) by the integer (the 6).
3 X 6 = 18 so you will have 18/12.
18/12 is an improper fraction, so you can change it to a mixed number by seeing how many 12s are in 18.
That is 1 and 6/12. You can then simplify the 6/12 to 1/2 so the answer is 1 and 1/2.
When you watch the video, you will see that the teacher on there simplifies before changing to a mixed number. It doesn't matter what order you do this in, it is personal preference.
There are two activities on the link. Please do activity 2. If you want to do activity 1, this is optional, but you will need people to play the game with you!

Topic
Back to our We are Britain topic today. On Tuesday, you looked at some well-known kings and queens that ruled over England or Britain since 1066.
Today, we are going to do some more research into these 6 kings and queens. But instead of just simply researching them and writing facts down, I thought we could do a little quiz. I have 15 questions for you, and every answer will be one of these 6 kings or queens:
William I (William the Conqueror)
Richard III
Henry VIII
Elizabeth I
Victoria
George VI
You will need to read up on each of them to be able to answer them. This is a new way to do research, and there are a couple of ways to do it. You could read up lots on every single king or queen on the list, and make notes and then answer the questions. Or, you could do some more 'focussed' research, where you think about what to type in the search bar. If you remember, last year in computing, we learnt about how to search smartly. Remember kidrex.org is a good and safe website for children to search on. By the way, instead of saying 'king or queen' all the time, I will be using the word 'monarch' which means either a king or queen.
1.) Which monarch reigned from 1558 - 1603?
2.) Which monarch is famous for having 6 wives?
3.) Which monarch was the child of Anne Boleyn?
4.) Which monarch is our current Queen's father?
5.) Which monarch became king after defeating Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings?
6.) Which monarch reigned during the industrial revolution?
7.) Which KING had the surname Tudor?
8.) Which monarch's body was found in a car park in Leicester in 2012?
9.) Which monarch had a Shakespeare play named after them? (There are two answers to this one, either one will get you the mark! I didn't know about one of them, so I have learnt something as well!).
10.) Which monarch reigned during the second world war?
11.) Which monarch reigned for 63 years, 7 months and 2 days?
12.) Which monarch was famous for her bright orange hair?
13.) Which monarch ordered the Domesday Book to be created?
14.) Which monarch was the father of Elizabeth I?
15.) Which monarch reigned from 1066-1087?
Send your answers to my email (class5@netherthongprimary.co.uk) for marking. I would love to see your answers! If you get 15/15 you will go into the 'hall of fame' in Friday's blog post. Well done for having a go at this - some of these questions are tough!
PE
Keep up your active time! It is really important to stay active. As the weather is rubbish, if you want to share your indoor activities with me that would be great!
