Welcome

Year 5

Spelling

SPELLING FOCUS OCTOBER 2024:

We are focusing on double vowels and which ones are found in more than one word. (What are the most frequently occurring double letters?). Also thinking about double, triple and even quadruple consonants (all the letters in a row).

Maths homework October 2024

 

Can you write directions to get from one specific room to another in your house? You will write which angles to turn and how far to walk forward, e.g., get up out of bed, turn 90 degrees anticlockwise, walk 2m forward, turn 90 degrees anticlockwise and walk ahead 3m. 

 

Today, we looked at angles in capital letters. For homework, try making three-letter words and measuring the angles. There is an online protractor tool here. You could also experiment with which letters in a certain font make the biggest number when all the angles are added together, and which make the smallest. 

 

Try finding angles in real life. An angle is where two straight lines meet. Estimate the degrees and say whether it's acute or obtuse.

 

You won't need a protractor to do these angles. Have a go!

 

For the start of the year, try finding out some famous dates and putting the Roman Numerals for them. Test someone else on the Roman Numeral dates to see if they know them!

How about putting numbers you see around you into Roman Numerals: numbers on a car's registration plate, pages in a book. If someone asks you a number question, give the answer in numerals!
