Maths-
We are looking at the area today, again, this is a Year 5 unit of work but it’s important we go back over it as it may have been a lockdown unit. Lesson 2 Areas Use this PP to help you.
Display: Slide 1 on the PP showing the four metre sticks arranged to make one square metre. The shape formed by the four metre sticks is a square. What does the area
enclosed by the four metre sticks measure? (one square metre) Can you think of a surface that you would you measure in square metres? (floor, wall, school playground, etc.)
The abbreviated form for the square metre and the square centimetre.
• Write on the board: 1 m2
= 1 m × 1 m
= 100 cm × 100 cm
= 10 000 cm2
Look at Slide 2.
How many 100 squares are in this row that is one metre long? (ten) How many square centimetres altogether will cover one row of 100 squares?
(100 cm2 × 10 = 1000 cm2)
How many rows there are altogether. (ten rows)
Can you work out many square centimetres there are in one square metre?
(1000 cm2× 10 = 10 000 cm2)
Which square unit would you use to measure the area of a piece of paper? A sheet of a
newspaper? A textbook? A carpet?
To find the area of a surface we multiply the length by the breadth and give our answer in square units.
• A = a × b
Look at Slide 3 showing an irregular hexagon.
The hexagon is drawn on a one centimetre square grid. About how many square centimetres do you estimate the area of the hexagon to be? By counting whole squares the area of the hexagon is at least 14 cm2
.
Can you think of a way to make a more precise estimate? Focus on counting the parts of the hexagon that are greater than one half square and the parts that are half of one square. What is the approximate area of the hexagon? (18 cm2)

IT– Binary Code. Activity Code B234 Primary Computing Resources – iLearn2
Due to a large numbers of kids not being in last Friday, some kids will have done this lesson already but some haven’t. If you haven’t done the lesson then try Number 3 – Cisco Binary and play the game where they must interpret the binary code into numbers. Please watch the video first so you understand how to play. If you have done this lesson last week with Mrs Hilditch then have a look a Number 4 -Binary Bonanza. Watch the video first so you understand how to play the game.
Reading- Make sure you make time for at least 20 minutes of quiet reading time. Always keep this ticking over please.
