We are delighted to provide you with the Year 5 Learning Challenge for this half of the Spring Term.
You will notice that the activities have now been split into Basic, Advanced and Deep Learning. This is a new way for us to look at learning at Broadford, and is designed to ensure that children not only acquire factual knowledge but also gain a further understanding about how their new skills or knowledge can be applied to their own lives or be used to further their cognitive and social development.
The theme of the Learning Challenge for the second half of the Spring is Space. It is entirely up to the child whether they select the poem, significant person, music or painting, or a combination of all 4. They can also select the activities that they want to attempt, though we would encourage them to deepen their learning as much as possible.

Poem
Sandra Haight: Where
are you Earth?
Where Are You Earth?
In the middle of the
universe, I stand…
My mind attempting to
comprehend
the scope and wonder
Exposed upon these printed
pages
Within this book of
astronomy and space.
One hundred billion
galaxies…
One hundred octillion
stars..
Trillions of them are suns
like ours…
Unfathomable to my human
mind...
Through these pages,
In the middle of the
universe, I stand
In awe and ask...
Where are you Earth?
I see our galaxy—our Milky
Way—full color
On this wondrous special
page,
And I almost miss that
tiny speck…
That speck, our world,
With cars and people bustling
here and there…
Bridges, trains,
skyscrapers, jets…
Blue oceans with majestic
ships…
The wonders of our age…
You great, important,
busy, busy world.
Where are you Earth
Amid this cloud of dust?
I find you on this page
with straining eye
So lost among the stars,
the planets, moons—
One hundred billion
galaxies
One hundred octillion
stars—
My home…my Earth…
A tiny speck…
A microscopic grain…
Caught up in cosmic winds
with all the rest.
