Year 5Home Learning Project

Week Beginning: 20.04.20Theme: Festivals and Celebrations

English• Use your Year 5/6 spelling list and choose 12

words – have a go at writing them without looking. Check. See if you can practise the

ones you got it wrong and re-test later that day. Use Spelling Frame online to help.

• Have a look at the free library of eBooks on the Oxford Owl website. Have a read and answer some of the questions at the end.

(You parent may need to register – it’s free)• Last Thursday (23rd) was St Georges day. Not

much is known about him but the most famous legend is:

George slays the dragon. A pagan town was terrorised by a dragon and demanded two sheep every day to eat.

When there were no more sheep, the villagers started to offer young women to it. The young princess was offered to the dragon and when George heard about this he rode

into the village, slayed the dragon and rescued the princess.

Can you rewrite this legend in your own words? Take this opportunity to be as descriptive as you

can be.

Science

One of our topics this year is materials and their properties. We have previously looked at reversible

and irreversible changes. Can you create an irreversible change by baking a celebration cake?

Art and Design

Can you draw your own version of St George fighting the dragon from the legend? See slide 2 for inspiration.

History

As part of our Anglo-Saxon topic we learnt about some of their celebrations. Research the

celebrations of other societies such as Romans, Celts, Mayans and Ancient

Egyptians, can you find 10 similarities and differences between the festivals

we celebrate and the festivals they celebrated?

French

A big part of celebrations are the food that is shared at them. Can you follow through our French unit on food?

PSHE and RELots of countries and cultures celebrate different

festivals all over the world. Can you learn about the festivals and celebrations of another religion such as

Islam or Buddhism? Can you find out 10 facts about the celebrations of the religion you choose and create a

presentation to show your family what you have learnt.
