In the afternoon you will be doing Geography, identifying where in the world is Greece and the Greek islands. Next you will identify the different geographical features of Greece such as, rivers and mountains. Finally, answer the questions on the location of Greece.

Year 5 Home Learning Challenges Week 3, by Mrs Bale
Date: 13th Apr 2020 @ 2:26pm
Create a Time Capsule
Why not create a time capsule that you can look back on with your family and friends in 10-20 years time. I’m sure they’ll be a few laughs, as well as some ‘wow, do you remember when’ moments to share!
Things you can include
- Photographs of your house, bedroom, garden, street, family
- Write a letter to your future self, tell yourself about what is happening in the world at the moment
- Include today’s newspaper/front page of the newspaper
- Trace around your hand on a blank page and date it
- Draw yourself or use a photograph and write your name, age, height, friends, favourite things, hobbies, hopes and dreams etc.
Making your time capsule
- Gather all you want to include and assemble your time capsule.
- If burying outside chose a material that won’t degrade e.g. air tight plastic or stainless steel box. If keeping inside use a shoe box or cardboard box.
- Label your box with your name and a date when the box can be opened.
- Now hide it away, and try not peek in it until the chosen date/year!
We would love to see your finished time capsules so please upload any photographs to the school Twitter or Facebook page.
Keep up those chess skills!
We have been so impressed with the chess skills we have seen from year 5 this year!
Can you create your own board and pieces and challenge (or teach) a family member?
Why not create a ‘beginners guide to chess’ booklet to teach your family how to play.
You could create a board using cardboard, cereal boxes or paper and you could create the pieces by drawing them on to paper, cutting them out of felt of fabric, using stones or why not get messy and have a go at making them out of salt dough (recipe linked here - https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/how-make-salt-dough-recipe).
To make your chess set unique, you could design your own pieces using inspired by the work we have been doing about Ancient Greece. Perhaps the knights could be Pegasus, the rooks could be columns and the pawns could be warriors.
Don’t forget to take some photographs and upload your games to the school Twitter or Facebook page.
Good luck!
Greek Island Hopping
It might be a while before we can think about travelling the world, but we can dream!
We’d like you to create an enticing brochure about travelling to Greece.
Firstly, think about how best to present your work, have a look at the images below for some inspiration, will you create a series of posters, a leaflet or a booklet?
Next, plan your trip:
- Chose 3 or 4 places to focus on starting with Athens and then moving to a few of the Greek Islands.
Information to include:
- Map of destination
- How to get there (is there more than one option?)
- How much it will cost
- Best landmarks to visit
- Food and drinks to enjoy
- Drawings or images
- Interesting facts about the place
As some of you may know, Greece is Mrs Bale’s favourite holiday destination, so she can’t wait to see the photographs of your finished brochures!
Keep fit and happy like Stavros Flatley!
Sticking with the Greek theme, watch this iconic and hilarious video of Stavros Flatley performing on Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=-_ou2tKKA3U.
Can you recreate the routine or come up with one of your own?
If you’re feeling brave, ask a family member to record you and upload it to our Twitter or Facebook page to keep us all smiling!

Hello Year Five,
We hope you are enjoying your learning at home and staying safe.
Its challenge time and this week the Olympics are here! We would like you to hold your own mini Olympics at home, think about what different events can all your family be involved with, what team will you be? Can you make a team banner? What about the prize?
Keep reading lovely stories with your family, practicing your times tables and keeping smiling, having fun with your family.
Don’t forget to share any work you create on the school twitter or Facebook page. Have a fantastic Easter and stay safe.
