Don’t Worry! Be Happy!
Wishing you all every good wish for the Easter break!
Friday 3rd April 2020 Learning
Good morning, Year 5. We have now reached the end of the Spring term. Well done for all of your efforts over the past two weeks. I will not be posting daily learning during Easter break, but I do have some suggestions for things you could do with your time as you will have to remain at home. Firstly, it is important that you still do something active everyday. This could be any Joe Wicks workout, or maybe you could try a dance class on Oti Mabuse’s YouTube channel. Make sure you still read everyday. If you don’t have any books at home, listen to an audio book. They are currently free on https://stories.audible.com/start-listen.
You could do some maths. On the white rose website, they have maths lessons that you can watch and then complete: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/
There is also an Easter RE activity for the whole school. Find the information here:Whole School Easter Project April2020
Today’s learning can be found here: 3rd April
Today at 10am, there is an end of term mass at for all Catholic schools in the area. Please watch online through the OLSV live stream.
Have a wonderful Easter

SOLUTIONS to the April Fools Maths Challenges for Years 3 and 4 and Years 5 and 6
Challenge for Years 3 and 4
Don’t be a Fool!
Is the following maths statement true or false? Tip: try using the number in lots of different ways to figure out if the statements can be proven to be true!
Using eight 8s, it is possible to make 1,000?
Challenge for Years 5 and 6
Don’t be a Fool!
- Work out this riddle and prove you’re not an April Fool!
I’m thinking of a 5-digit number which has no zeros and no digit is the same.
The ten thousand digit is the cube root of the ones digit.
The tens digit is the square root of the thousands digit.
The hundreds digit is the product of the ten thousand digit and the tens digit.
The thousand digit is an odd square number.
I’ll post the answers tomorrow!

Computing! Childnet Film Competition
Childnet Film Competition 2020
The Childnet Film Competition is now in its 11th year and is open to all young people based in the UK. The challenge is to create a short film or a storyboard with a script in response to this year’s theme.
The theme of this year’s Childnet film competition is:
We want an Internet where we’re free to….
Think about all the things we love to do online. Create a film or storyboard that explains why we want an internet that allows people to feel free and safe online and how we can can make this happen.
Childnet have released packs to give more information about the competition and to help you to plan and make your films at home. All details can be found at https://www.childnet.com/resources/film-competition/2020
Childnet understands that young people may not have access to specialist equipment at home but don’t let that stop you. Get creative with the technology you have, including phones and tablets, or enter the storyboard category, which doesn’t require any film making equipment.
I am sure there are some great filmmakers in our midst.
Good luck and happy filmmaking.

PE snakes and ladder fun
Good Morning,
I hope you are all well. I thought you might like to try this PE version of snakes and ladders with your family instead of (or in addition to – if you’re feeling super fit!) joining Joe Wicks this morning. There are many different challenges included. All you need is a dice, appropriate clothing, water and a safe space. Enjoy and send me some pictures of you having fun if possible.
Love Miss Pringle

Good morning, Year 5. Thank you for your emails- you have all been busy. This week, Jamie B created a fantastic video showing his family taking part in nature scavenger hunt- well done, Jamie! I took part with my family today and we also struggled with the interesting insect. Why not take part with your families and see if you can find one?
Meaghan has cracked on with the maths Easter egg challenge and sent in her answers already. Can’t wait to see the rest of them.

Good morning, Year 5. I hope you are keeping well. Take a look at what some of your friend’s have been up to so far this week. You can send me updates on what you have been doing at year5@popepaul.herts.sch.uk. It doesn’t have to just be the learning, it can be anything! Thomas has been busy in the kitchen- it looks delicious. Thank you Emilia for sharing you learning. If you send me some pictures, be sure to let me know if I can publish them on the blog.

Monday 30th March Learning
Good morning, Year 5. I hope you had a great weekend and enjoyed the sunshine. If you found last week’s learning a challenge, please do not worry. Just try your best and anything you find tricky, we will work on it when we are all back at school.
This week’s learning will look much like last week’s. You should be taking part in a daily workout as there are no PE lessons and Gareth Metcalf is still doing his daily lessons on http://www.iseemaths.com/home-lessons/ if you fancy the challenge.
Remember you can contact me on year5@popepaul.herts.sch.uk if you have any questions.
If you send any pictures of what you have been up to, please indicate if I have your consent to post them on our class blog.
Have a wonderful day,
Mrs Lines

Good morning, Year 5. We have come to the end of our fist week of distance learning. I hope you have got on well with the tasks and they have kept you busy. It has been wonderful to receive updates on you via email. I can see many of you are keeping fit with Joe Wicks each morning. I have been taking part too and it is definitely a serious workout. My pikachu jumps do need some work!
Wishing you a great weekend
