Handwriting 

Practise your handwriting by copying out the text below. Think carefully about the size or your capital letters and your ascenders.

Maths

Your maths challenge today has been set for you on Purple Mash. This week, we are moving on from looking solely at fractions and today will be revisiting fraction and decimal equivalents. Before you complete today’s challenge, look at the slides below to recap how to find the decimal equivalent of a fraction.

 

If you are still unsure, watch these three videos which explain the different methods in a bit more detail.

Once you understand these different methods, log in to purple mash and try today’s challenge, ‘Equivalent fractions and decimals’.

Remember, you can always email us at contactyear5@holbrook.coventry.sch.uk if you are still finding this difficult and we will do our best to help you.

There is a Maths Home Learning Links page at the top of blog. We would love to see more of you practising your maths skills on websites like Times Table Rockstars.

How would Peter use different techniques to persuade Tom one way or the other?

Here is an example of a persuasive letter:

Remember: You are writing, in role as Peter, giving advise to Tom.

‘Keeping in contact’ task

Today, I would like you to email one of your classmates using your Holbrook email accounts.I thought today it would be nice to check in with our classmates! Please choose someone who you have not spoken to in a while. Do not choose a friend you have already spoken to recently. Maybe you could email a classmate you sit beside in English or Maths, or perhaps a classmate you usually play with on the playground?

Your email should include the following:

• A greeting 
• A question 
• 3 things you have enjoyed whilst being at home (the most fun)
• 1 thing you are looking forward to- what have you missed?

Remember- Choose someone you have not spoken to in a while; check your spellings, grammar, and punctuation; and of course keep an eye on your emails! Make sure to reply so you can get a conversation going!

If you don’t know your friends email, it is  Firstname.Surname2021@holbrookprimary.com

Here’s an example email below

Please Cc us in. We’d love to know how you’re getting on!

Extra challenge- can you send this email to more than one classmate at a time? Have a go! Maybe you could send it to 2 or 3! Try and attach some of your work to the email too!
