Then listen to chapter 24: https://st-lukes-church-of-england-notts.primarysite.media/media/chapter-24-1

 

Jim has now been reunited with Shrimps but it isn't the happy ending he thought it would be. Shrimps is now unwell and in desperate need to see a doctor. During the Victorian era doctors would charge for their service so many people would go without medical help as they didn't have any money.

 

Jim has a talent- they call him Skipping Jim and he is well known in London Town for his performance. I would like you to design a poster advertising Jim and encourage people to come to his show. 

Maths

 

Starter- Mental arithmetic. Set yourself a timer and try to complete as many questions as you can in 10 minutes. Remember to use methods that you have been taught. 

Today we are going to continue to develop our knowledge of coordinates. You are going to be identifying the coordinates of different shapes. I have reattached yesterdays PowerPoint as a reminder if you need it. 

Science

 

This week we are going to be learning about Charles Darwin. We did spend a lesson learning about him at the start of Y5 but today I would like you to focus on his discoveries and the lessons that we can learn from these. Use the PowerPoint below and the web link to learn about the voyage of the Beagle. 

 

Activity: Create a newspaper article that informs the British public about Darwin's discovery.
