Weekly MyMaths and Times Table Rock Stars

A reminder that there are two activities set each week on MyMaths, one on a Monday and one on a Wednesday for Year 5. The lesson feature is really useful to support the children before completing the homework to revise the topic and teach key concepts. Click on “Try the lesson” before “Start homework” as shown in the picture below.

Also, new timestables are set each week on TTRS for Year 5 children to complete.

Weekly Challenge – Rockin’ and Rollin’

We hope you have all had a lovely Easter break and you are all ready for your new weekly challenge! This week, we would like you to design or build your very own rollercoaster.

You could draw your design on paper or the computer, label it and colour it. Does your rollercoaster have a theme? What are the features?

For an extra challenge you could build your rollercoaster using card, straws, newspaper or anything you have in the house. Does it work? Can you test it using a marble or ball? Can you time it and make your course quicker?

Please email your photos into school with “Year 5 weekly challenge” and we will post your photos onto the website on Friday.

Easter-Themed Project

Following the success of Apley’s Bake Off and with the run up to Easter upon us, why not try your hand at some family Easter-themed baking. Email the school with your triumphs and your near-triumphs and we will show them off on the website. Ideas could include chocolate cornflake nests, Easter biscuits or for those who like a challenge, maybe even hot cross buns or a simnel cake!

On your marks, get set, bake!
