Good morning, Year 5, and welcome to Summer Term and a brand new topic Five Explore…..!
We’ll be setting you a daily English and maths activity on these pages as well as a few ideas from the wider curriculum to keep you from missing us too much! Be
sure to check in again tomorrow for another update.
Year 5 Just To Keep You Going...22nd April
English
How did you get on with your headlines yesterday? Have a look at the last

Today, let’s look at the introduction to newspaper reports.
Most introductions include the 5W’s. Do you remember what those are?
They give an overview of what the story is about.
The rest of the article then gives more details and answers those questions.

Just To Keep You Going... Maths– Equivalent Fractions, Decimals and
Percentages
Today we are learning about equivalent fractions, decimals and percentages. Take a look at the bead string below. There are 100 beads and 26 out of 100 beads are
circled. This is equivalent to 0.26, 26/100 and 26%.
Below is another example, 7 out of 100 beads are circled. See the image below for the fraction, decimal and percentage of the circled beads:
In the next example, we are going to use a bar model. The top bar in the bar model below represents 100% or one whole. The second bar, is split into two equal pieces– each piece represents 1/2 or 50% because 100% divided by 2
equals 50%.
Just To Keep You Going... In the bar model below, the second bar has been spilt into 5 equal pieces. The
value of each piece is 1/5 or 20% because 100% divided by 5 is equal to 20%. We can also use this bar model to help us solve other questions like what is 3/5 as a percentage. We know that 3/5 is equal to 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 so as a percentage it is
20% + 20% + 20% which is equal to 60%.

Just To Keep You Going... Topic
Today we will continue to learn more about Ancient Egyptian life and increase our general knowledge relating to them. Make sure you have your mind map
you started on Monday with you, so you can add to it as you go along!
Look at the collage of images below, do you recognise any of them?
Read the names and descriptions of the images below the collage and see if you can match each description to the correct picture.
Watch this video which gives a brief introduction to life in Ancient Egypt.
Pick 5 new pieces of information from the video and add them to your mind map. Pause or re-watch the video if it helps.

Look at the image below. See if you can spot at least 5 deliberate mistakes the artist has included – things that would not have been there in Egyptian times. If you want a challenge, see if you can find up to 10. Within the picture, for every
error there is a paired image showing what they would have had instead in Ancient Egyptian times. Can you spot them?
Answers will be provided in tomorrow’s feedback.
You could either print the picture and circle mistakes, or, make a note of the ones you spot in your home learning books.
You can then add to your mind maps tomorrow once you have checked the answers.
