5th Class Suggested Work to Complete at Home (18th May - 22nd May)

Hi 5th Class!
 
Here is a suggested list of work to complete this week. As always, there is no pressure to complete everything on this list, but try your best to – it will keep you on track with your learning.
Every week, I attach a Suggested Schedule of Work that suits the work for the week in question, (attached below) which might help to keep you organised.
 
It was great to hear from so many of you last week, 5th class! I know you are all working hard and learning at home, be it the work assigned or important life-skills! I am very proud of you all.
 
 
Maths

• Master Your Maths – Since we have finished all the weeks in Master Your Maths, now you have a chance to catch up. Find any columns/days that you have not completed. Try to complete 4 this week. If you have completed all, you can move on to the Week Tests. Try two per week. 
• New work on Mangahigh (online – www.mangahigh.com) to complete – 1 task based on Measures. Please email me if you need your username and password (missmulholland2020@gmail.com)
• Learning Tables x 12 (Oral practise or Timetables.com)

English

• Spellings: Next spelling list (Attached below). Pick 10 challenging spellings and complete: 5 sentences and 5 definitions in your homework copy.
• Handwriting: Complete one page of handwriting per week – don’t worry too much about filling the book. Remember, we only complete half of the book in 5th class and keep the other half for 6th class.

History
Our Local History – Project Work

• Compare maps of Kilkerley which are attached below, to this blog post. One is a recent Aerial Map of Kilkerley taken some time between 2005 and 2012, and the other is a Historical Map, recorded some time between 1837 and 1842! Nearly 200 years ago!
• What do you spot on the two maps? Do you recognise any of the features on the map? Are there any differences between the two maps? What buildings can you see on the two maps? Have any buildings stayed the same? What man-made and natural features can you see on the map of Kilkerley? Natural features include streams, rivers, mountains, hills, etc. Man-made features include roads, buildings, railroads, etc. (See websites below for help)

 

• In your SESE copy, make two lists.
• 1. List the differences between the two maps – Recent Map versus Historic Map.
• 2. List and draw the symbols that you can recognise and name on the map. (See websites below for help) What other map symbols do you know? Are any missing from both maps?

 

• Create a project “Our Local History – Kilkerley Past and Present” (if you do not live in Kilkerley, or you would like to do your project on where your parents have grown up, that is no problem at all! You may have to change the name of the project). This is your opportunity to explore where you/they live/lived, finding out what has changed over time, including the buildings, homes and people who lived in the area. This project can include maps, interviews, drawings, essays, pictures – you can present this project in any way that you like.

 
Tips for researching your project:

• Interview those around you – family members, neighbours (from a safe distance), telephone calls to grandparents. Ask about the past, the jobs that people did and ask about what is around you now.
• Local history or geography books that you might have in your home. A fabulous resource that some of you might be lucky to have in your house is “Kilkerley in the Past and Present”, a book full of pictures of people who lived and still live in Kilkerley.
• List of Websites to help with your research

People

Stories
I found this very interesting! Enjoy! See can you find the stories from Kilkerley!
In the 1920’s and 1930’s, the government realised that Ireland was changing and was losing a lot of it's old ways and tales – so a nationwide project was set up! All children were asked to go out into their community and listen to and record stories from old neighbours/friends.

Physical Education

• Ball Trick Shot Challenge!

Have a look at the website below, and scroll down to the “Paper Ball Trick Shot Challenge”. I would like you to be as creative as you can with any ball (paper ball, football, softball) you have at home, and try this challenge outside! Remember – you aren’t scoring into a large area, try to use an empty bin, basin, or hat for your challenge. Practise makes perfect!

• Make sure to video your creative trick shot if you can! I would love to post your trick shots on the blog by the end of the week!

 
Keep sending me your work, 5th class, as I am recording all that is sent. I also love seeing those who have engaged with our online platforms – Kahoot, Mangahigh, Imagine Forest and Khan Academy. You are doing a fabulous job, keep it up!
