Week 1 Learning Pack Overview- Monday 20th April – Friday 24th April
This is the overview of your learning for this week. It includes what you will be doing in English, Maths, Reading, Topic, PE and Computing. Each day, we will release the activity that we would like you do at the time that is showing on your timetable. This means that you will do the learning at the same time each day.
Year 5 Seesaw announcement
Important Information for Parents/Carers
Learning activities will be published on Seesaw daily from Monday 20th April (when school term time begins). It is an expectation that children complete as much of this learning as possible.
Please watch this video for information about home learning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG_WzfvhvuM
A suggested timetable is attached to help you and your child create effective and manageable routines. Please also note that activities will be posted throughout the day, not all at once.
We thank you all for your continuing support during this challenging time.
Mr Emmens and Mrs Bowes-Mulligan
Daily reading time
Don’t forget to read at least 4 times a week for your ‘Read for a Star’ stamp. Try to read as often as you can – once a day would be a fantastic way to pass the time AND broaden your vocabulary!
Did you know that listening to an audiobook counts too? Why not try Audible (from Amazon) which is currently FREE to use! https://stories.audible.com/discovery 🙂
Green Fingers in Year 5
Look at these happy faces and amazing terrariums that year 5 pupils have made
Wood Working
Danger-Us club have really enjoyed their wood-working sessions over the past few weeks. Some of us made bird boxes, others drumming blocks and even storage for our electrical devices at home! We look forward to using our skills again soon!
Year 5 Get Cooking!
Danger-Us club had a wonderful time baking this afternoon. We all worked hard to make the KS2 corridor smell wonderful, and have taken home armfuls of treats to share!
Busy First Week in Year 5
Year 5 have hit the ground running this week, throwing themselves into their new learning with fractions, decimals and percentages (in maths) and the Romans in Britain (in English). Swimming lessons have begun too, with nearly 40 of us taking the plunge today – and more lined up as soon as spaces become available. We are looking forward to our trip to Colchester Castle next week too- be sure to ask as about what we learn there!
Year 5 Number Snakes
Year 5 have been testing in the last few weeks, but this hasn’t stopped us from being creative! We have been working with the text ‘The Storm Unicorn’ and have represented our own unicorns for non-chronological reports using water colours. In maths lessons, some of us have created number snakes – like those in the images – to represent adjacent numbers producing square numbers.
