Good morning Year 5!
I think we've got a couple of lovely, warm days with us today and tomorrow, hooray! I managed to weed the garden over the weekend, and I'm very pleased with how tidy it's looking, so I'm excited to be outside for a bit later today. I think Asaph is keen to put up a mini tent we have and use it as a den!
We'd love to see what you've been up to - remember to show us by emailing us at Y5homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk
Don't forget to send in your heart photos

Hello! Mrs Hodges here.
Two activities from me today - firstly, the Sentence of the Day.
https://www.showme.com/sh?h=SBGz0oi
There's not many corrections in today's sentence because I'd like you to focus on adding in parenthesis where you think it would be most helpful (clue: remember parenthesis can be used to explain the meaning of a technical or scientific word...if you're not sure what any of the words in the sentence mean, go back and rewatch Tim Peake's YouTube video I posted on the Monday blog!)
The second activity is a Writing/Vocabulary activity. I've attached a Pobble document called, "Fairytale Ending" - I'd like you to look at two little activities from it. Firstly, have a look at the "Question Time" section and have a go at answering them to help you think about the image you can see. You could write your thoughts down or talk about it with a brother or sister, or your grown up.
Then I'd like you to focus on the "Sentence Challenge" part.
I walked across the field towards the door.
Consider other verbs for "walk" - how does changing this verb impact the picture the reader would have about the character and how they're feeling about approaching the house? To get you started, here are some other verbs you could use:
crept, sauntered, bounded, sprinted, wandered, strolled
Do you know the meaning of these verbs? Can you act them out to show how you would move? Are there other verbs you could use instead?
Practise writing 3 or 4 sentences where you change the verb each time, and think about how this impacts the meaning of the sentence. Which one do you think is most effective?
I'm looking forward to seeing your sentences!
Good afternoon Year 5!

Miss Wendt here!
Good morning everyone, hope you are all well and looking forward to a very sunny Wednesday. I was writing your reports in the garden yesterday. It was a chance to look back and think of all the fun things we do in Y5, and how much progress you have all made this year. I think in 10 years time we'll all still be talking about the events in 2020!
Answers from yesterday!
Have a look at the different ways I have chosen to partition 0.62. This question is a find all possibilities, there were many! Remember to email your answers.
Here is the fluent in five for today!
I'll be back later with the answers 
...and here they are! How did you do today?

Good morning from Miss Brookes!
Thank you for all your emails yesterday - they always put a huge smile on my face! I hope you're enjoying the nicer weather this week (sorry about last weeks rain!)
Today's GVP is all focussed on relative pronouns - how many can you remember? We look at 6 key ones today.
