Math Homework October 8

Extra homework for Year 5 pupils following the temporary closure of UHS. After the holiday we will be concentrating on measurement (length, weight and capacity) and written calculation work (multiplication and division).

Measurement

1)      With an adult’s permission look at the items in your kitchen cupboards. Record what weights and measures packaged items are generally sold in.

Possible items: jar of jam, washing powder, washing-up liquid, milk, fizzy drink, flour, sugar, rice, cooking oil, tinned tomato paste, tin of fuul beans and tomato ketchup.

2)      Take some empty containers (again with an adult’s permission) and estimate the capacity in ml. Then fill with water and measure the capacity using a measuring jug.

3)      Think of 3 things with a weight of a) 1g, b) 100g, c) 1kg. Write them down and then measure the weight using a kitchen scales.

Times Tables.
By the end of Year 5 you should know the 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10 times tables, together with the related inverse division facts. For example you should know that 7 x 6 = 42 and that 42 ÷ 6 =7
Knowing the times tables is very helpful for doing larger multiplication and division calculations.

Use this link to assist you in becoming quicker at recalling the times tables: www.resources.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk


2D and 3D shapes
Revise the 2D and 3D shapes by following the online activities and games at: www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks2/maths/

b) Jot down key words/points, abbreviations for each paragraph

c) Write one full sentence for each paragraph (in your own words).

It is very important not to copy information out of texts.  You can use the key words or point, but use your own words for the rest of the sentence.

Activity 2:  LO  To recognise the features of non-chronological reports.

(From now on non-chronological will be abbreviated to n/c)

N/c reports describe HOW THINGS ARE.

a)    Look up ‘chronological’ in the dictionary (non-chronological must mean the opposite) and write the meaning down.

b)   Read the following features of a n/c report:

·         title

·         formal style of writing

·         present tense verbs ‘is’ ‘are”

·         use third person (it, they, he she)

·         the first sentence of a paragraph is a summary of it 

·         should be able to read any section of text in any order

·         no time connectives (first, next etc)

·         includes diagrams/pictures and usually a glossary.

c)    Look at a power point of a n/c report on elephants (find it on the internet: search   elephant_report.ppt (http://www.schooltrain.info)

d)   Now look at the Elephant Report text that follows.  If you can, print it off and use colour to highlight the features in the text (colour the key boxes at the bottom).

Elephants

There are two types of elephant. Indian elephants are smaller than African elephants.  African elephants are the biggest land animal. They can live to be eighty.

Baby Elephants

A baby elephant is called a calf.  A newborn elephant weighs about 110kg.  It is covered in hair.  Baby elephants stay in the group until they are about ten years old.

The Trunk

An elephant’s trunk is really a nose.  They use their trunk to drink.  They breathe through the trunk.  They also use the trunk to break branches and to pick up food.

Food

Adult elephants eat in the morning and evening.  They eat lots of leaves and grass.  They use their trunk to suck up water and then squirt it in their mouth.

Habitat

African elephants live in grasslands and forests.  Indian elephants live in jungles.  Their habitats are being destroyed.

Protecting Elephants

Elephants are beautiful animals.  People must save their habitat and protect them.  Without this help all the world’s elephants will die.

Title	Subheading	Introduction paragraph
Present tense verbs	Third person	Topic sentence
Key words	Conclusion paragraph.	Colour code these boxes and highlight in the text

e)    Cut in between the paragraphs and change the order (except for the introduction).  Can they still be read?

Activity 3

LO Use present tense verbs.

Choose the correct verb so the sentence is in present tense.

a)    They is/are large animals.

b)   It is/are a large animal.

c)    There is/are many different types of dogs.

d)   Indian elephants is/are smaller than African ones.

e)   Baby elephants stay/s in the herd until they were/are ten years old.

f)    They use/d their trunks to drink.

g)   Adult elephants ate/at a lot of grass.

h)   Their habitats is/are being destroyed.

i)     Elephants is/are beautiful animals.

Activity 4: LO    To plan and write a non –chronological report (this will take several days).

1.     Choose a topic.  I suggest an animal you would like to find out about.

2.    Plan your report using a report skeleton frame as follows (see next page).

3.    What information will your report contain?

4.    Now find different sources of information (books, magazines, internet, documentaries).

5.    Next, take notes from your various sources.  Jot down key points, key words (use abbreviations).

6.    Order your information. 

7.    Each paragraph details one key point and has a subheading.

8.     Write up a draft of your report.  Check you include the features of a n/c report.  Have you used your own words?

9.    What words will you include in your glossary?  Will you have any pictures/diagrams?  Remember to write captions for them.

10. Check your draft for vocab, punctuation, then write your final copy (It could be a power point).

We look forward to reading your reports when you return to school.  GO well!

Authorities Extend School Closure - And... Homework

Please keep up to date by visiting the school website www.unityhighschool.org  for informattion on when we will start back.

In the meantime here is some more schoolwork to keep you on track.

Read the passage below - it relates to the 'Water' unit you have been doing in science.
Once you have read the article, complete the questions below on paper.

Cumbria flooding: residents' shock at floods

Residents hit by torrential flooding in the Cumbrian towns of Cockermouth and Workington have told of their shock at seeing the roads around their homes turned into rivers.

 

 

Rescuers evacuate people from the flood in Cockermouth

Cumbria Police said water levels in some parts of Cockermouth town centre were more than 2.5m (8.2ft) at the height of the floods. Around 50 people were airlifted to safety and another 150 were evacuated from their homes.

About 1,145 houses in the Cockermouth area lost power overnight said the electricity company.

The Royal Air Force said in a statement that the conditions were "terrible" and urged people to take care. "The situation has continued to deteriorate with people being forced to break through the rooftops of houses as they try to escape from rising floodwaters," it said. Wing Commander Peter Lloyd said: "We are concentrating on using helicopters to get people away from danger and delivering them to safety."

Kirsty Hutchinson, one of those carried to safety in Cockermouth told our news reporters  "It's just been absolutely unbelievable. As soon as the river broke at the bottom of the road, it came up really quickly. The water was up to the downstairs ceiling and I could hear the furniture downstairs knocking on the ceiling.”

In Workington a rescue operation has been launched to find a policeman who vanished as a bridge collapsed. Other bridges in the area have been closed amid fears that they too could collapse.

Kevin Bell, 48, is the night porter at the Washington Central Hotel in Workington around 400 yards from the flooded area. "A cricket pitch and parts of the town are up to four feet deep in places," he said. "It's terrible, it shows the volume of water that went through, to knock a bridge over.”

The Automobile Association said it was "flat out" rescuing broken down cars and advised against all but essential travel.

Richard Westmoreland, the motoring organisation's water rescue technician, said: "Conditions in Cumbria have been horrendous - the worst I've seen."
