Good morning class 4 
Welcome back! I hope you had a great half term and again; how lucky have we been with the weather? I actually would like it to rain a little bit now as my plants are getting rather thirsty.
It's a new month, 1st June, which is also exciting because... it's my birthday! I'm now a multiple of 4 and have 6 factors. That's all you're getting. 
Now, as from tomorrow year 6 are allowed to come back to school. I'm in our class today making final preparations for your arrival. If you're not able to come back or find yourself at home for whatever reason then please follow the daily online lessons as before. Year 5, you will need to carry on as normal.
And finally, Mrs Barker, the year 5/6 teacher at Fountains school will be quite often doing our class page. This is because I'll be busy being at school so the layout and tasks may be a bit different to what you're used to. However, I'll still be editing it quite often and may change some of the tasks in order to finish the packs I sent out. Let's see how we get on anyway.

Have a look at the below link. There are lots of ideas for different PE type activities that you could do at home; give one a go! There's a link to Joe Wicks or our Real PE units

Maths
I think just before the half term we were on page 4 of our maths packs. So guess what page we'll do today...
Group one
You should find page 5 and it should say 'Multiple shapes' on it.
You can remember what a multiple is, right? A multiple is a number within a times table.
So a multiple of 10 could be, 10, 20, 30 and so on.
A multiple of 8 could be 64 or 72
A common multiple of 8 and 4 would be a multiple in both times tables like 12, or 24.
Anyway you can see at the top of the sheet, there's a key telling you what type of multiple the shape represents. Then below you have some questions.
Let's look at the example. A circle (which is a multiple of 3) and parallelogram (which is a multiple of 8) can be added together to make 25.
You'd need to think of the multiples of 3 and the multiples of 8 and consider two which could be added together to make 25.
The answer is 9 + 16 = 25.
Your task is to complete the rest of the sheet.
Group 2
You should find a page called 'Snookered'
The first task is easy enough, you need to multiply the numbers together to make your answer as with the first one, 2 x 2 = 4 and then x5 = 20.
The second part is harder but if you notice, the number made was 27, therefore the first two numbers when multiplied had to make a factor of 27 or else when you multiplied by the final number, it wouldn't have made 27. E.G ___ x ____ couldn't have made a 4 because there's nothing you could have multiplied 4 by to make 27.
In fact, factors of 27 are: 1, 27, 3 and 9 so 9 x 3 = 27
3 x 3 = 9 then x 3 equals 27
So I get 3 x 3 x3
See how you get on .
English
Firstly it's a new week which means a fresh set of spellings, wahoo! You should have one unused sheet of spellings from your first pack. If not just write them out in the back of your English book.
As always choose 5 words from the list
-spelling list - statutory words-V297123593.pdf-
We'll be using our brand new English packs that Miss Blake delivered some weeks ago. The first page should say determiners. Please let me know if these have gone missing and I'll get another copy to you.
Now determiners. You've definitely heard me rant about these because they're so easy but seem to cause confusion. I think it's because it's a word we don't use often, well until year 5 and 6 anyway.
Determiners are words which introduce a noun. Here's the noun 'hat'
If I said - "Please get me hat' you'd give me a funny look, unless I had a strong Yorkshire accent and never used determiners in the first place, Yorkshire is always the hardest place to teach determiners!.
What word would you want to add to that sentence?
You'll be thinking of determiners to introduce 'hat'
Like, my hat or that hat or this hat or your hat
When identifying determiners in a sentence, think can I say that word with a noun and would it work with it. For example "Get me brown hat' wouldn't work because it's still missing the determiner, like get me my brown hat.
Your task is to read all of the sentence and highlight, circle or underline the determiner in each sentence. Clue, it will always be near to the noun. (not always right next to it remember like in the case of 'my brown hat' but near to it)
That's it for English today.
Note for year 6 - please bring your packs with you, we may or may not use them but it's nice to have the choice!
Reading plus
Please do one reading plus or two if below 80%
Science
In science we'd have been looking at the animal kingdom. When looking at animals, you notice that some are very different and some are actually quite similar. This is because animals have evolved down different paths, some animals have evolved closer to other animals.
Animals can be sorted into 6 groups. We call this process or sorting 'classifying'.
I would like you to watch this video link (sorry about the annoying American accent) and identify the different groups of animals and then, in your English books, write an explanation as to what that word means.
Finally, research or think of 3 animals which would fit in each category.
Here's the video link

Afternoon challenge for the week
I really enjoy taking pictures, put there is an art to taking pictures; it's not just holding a camera up and clicking but capturing an interesting angle, getting the light right, perhaps positioning your camera to have a natural boarder in like a tree.
Anyway, look at your garden and local area and see if you can take a picture of an everyday natural thing (plant, tree etc) and take a stunning picture of it, think about how to angle your camera, is there a better time to take it when the light is less or more, maybe take it higher up or lower down. Maybe even rest it on the floor.
Here's an example
See what you come up with and send your favourite in to me to publish next week.
That's it for the day and I'll look forward to seeing some of you tomorrow.
