Here is today’s starter…

Main Activity

This week on Oak Academy, we are looking at place value with an emphasis on decimals. You will have done this at school so this is really good revision to make sure you are ready to build on this concept in Year 6!

Have a look at the link below – look through the video and then have a go at the independent activities. Don’t forget to pause the video when asked to complete the questions in the video!

Extra practice:

Using the same format as in the video, draw a place value table (like the one below) and draw place value counters (like the ones down the right hand side) to represent the numbers below.

1) 35.248 6) 47.008

2) 14.509 7) 71.058

3) 12.05 8) 2.304

4) 70.054 9) 50.307

5) 4.007 10) 25.361

Monday’s Literacy Activity

This week we will be using ‘OAK ACADEMY’ to look at ‘Non chronological reports’.

Today’s task is looking at word meanings.

Watch the video and complete the independent activities on the slides.

Make a note of any of the language that you like – you might be able to use it when it comes to writing your own. 

DON’T FORGET to watch the video all the way to the end for your weekly spellings – your spelling test will be on Friday as part of Friday’s Oak Academy video.

Monday’s Topic Task

Something a little bit different this week!

Earth School

Welcome to Earth School! Embark on 15 quests that will help you understand and celebrate our natural world, while learning about how dependent we are on our planet. Now more than ever, we need to protect, nurture and care for Earth – so join us to learn something amazing in every quest.

Have a look at the first two videos here…

The first video: What is extinction? Why does it make some animals, like dinosaurs, disappear? Explore the causes of biodiversity loss, and the role humans play in recent extinctions:
