Year 5 – Home Learning
Category: 5F (2022-2023)
5F – Science
In Science, we have been looking at the different theories around a geocentric vs a heliocentric system.
In the past, scientists thought that the planets orbited around the Earth (geocentric). We now know that the planets orbit around the Sun because it has a greater gravitational pull – because it is huge!
Today, we made models of our Solar System. We chose which fruit would represent which spherical body according to the size. We then put them in the correct order from the sun. Finally, we drew lines to represent the orbit of the planets around the sun.
We then wrote explanations to go alongside the models:

Year 5- The Highwayman
In Year 5, we have been studying The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes.
We would like you to practise reading the poem aloud. Perform it to someone at home – what effect did it have on your audience?
Year 5 – Home Learning
You can also play this fun game to practise locating the European countries:
5F – Science
In Science, we investigated why we have night and day.
We then explained how it works in our own words:
Can you explain to someone at home why we have day and night? Challenge: can you explain why we have seasons?
Year 5 Home Learning – 19th January
5F – Geography
This term, we are learning about Europe.
In Maths, we explored the symmetry of the different flags of Europe.
In Geography, we identified and labelled the different countries.
We also played a really fun quiz:

Practise at home so that you’re ready for the next time we play in class!
5F -Art
In Art, we have been studying the work of William Morris.
We looked at his designs, analysing the patterns, colours and subjects.
We then used a viewfinder to isolate an area for us to sketch.
