Good morning, Class 5. Another week has gone by. I really appreciate hearing from lots of you this week. It has been great to see how you have all been and what you have been up to. Don't forget that by 10am today, your 'what if' stories need to be emailed in to be considered for the competition to take over the blog.
Here are the answers to yesterday's daily questions:
1.) Why is a comma needed? I have checked my grammar, punctuation and spelling. To separate nouns in a list.
2.) What is the apostrophe showing here? Possession or omission? I won't do it again. Omission
3.) How many determiners? Some people like cheese, but I love cheese. 1
4.) Where is the modal verb? We can't go into the shed without an adult.
5.) Add the missing punctuation: When we go to Manchester, we take the train.
6.) Where is the auxiliary verb? We hadn't got far when he caught up with us.
7.) Where does the apostrophe go? I'm very proud of you both.
8.) Where is the possessive pronoun? I gave her mine instead; I am very proud of myself.
1.) If I arrive at school at 7:25am, and it took me 18 minutes to get there from my house, what time did I leave my house? 7:07am
2.) 8 and 2/3 X 9 78
3.) 25% of 60 15
4.) 888 X 34 30,192
5.) 0.999 + 1/1000 1
6.) Name all the factors of 48 1 and 48 2 and 24 3 and 16 4 and 12 6 and 8
7.) 25,000 divided by 500 50
8.) 3.47 divided by 100 0.0347
9.) 7.773 X 7 54.411
10.) 7/9 of 27 21
Reading
Spend 30 minutes reading this morning. It could be a newspaper, a non fiction book or a story, but the important thing is you are continuing to read.
Grammar
As you all know, adverbs add to a verb. They tell you how, when or where something happened. Sometimes, though, adverbs add to a whole sentence.
For example:
Fortunately, Mum was delayed by bad traffic.
Really, he should know better.
Surprisingly, she didn't notice the mess in the kitchen.
These adverbs are usually used to show the attitude or view of the writer on what the sentence tells us. In the first one 'fortunately' tells us that the writer was glad his/her mum was delayed by traffic, even though the mum probably wasn't!
These adverbs are normally at the front of sentences, followed by a comma, like other fronted adverbials.
Try writing some silly sentences using these adverbs at the start of sentences:
- Fortunately
- Unfortunately
- Luckily
- Thankfully
- Seriously

Maths
It's Friday! That means it is speed tables day. Here are the links to the sheets. Can you try and get your best ever time this week?
Here is the mental maths sheet and questions for today.
Friday Afternoon challenge
Last week, I gave the Year 4 children a challenge for a Friday afternoon. I thought I would do something similar with you this week. I have a series of challenges that can be interpreted and carried out in many different ways. It is up to you to decide how you want to complete them. I don't mind how you do it, as long as you are safe, and you tell your adult before doing it. Any challenges you complete, take a photo of them and send them into me.
Challenge 1: Build the tallest thing.
Challenge 2: Take the most unusual photo.
Challenge 3: Spell out the longest word you can with objects in your house.
Challenge 4: Look the most surprised.
Challenge 5: Make a 2D shape using something else.
You may want to take some time to plan these out and see how you can do them. Any photographs you take, please email them into me so I can share them on the blog. Remember, I have purposely being vague as I want you to come up with your own unique ways to do these challenges.
PE
Luke has been cycling this week. Today is the last day of Joe Wicks doing 5 days a week of PE, so he might be doing something special for it? Let me know!
