Year 5

HOME LEARNING ACTIVITIES FOR YEAR 5

We hope that everyone is taking care of themselves and each other in these challenging times.  As school is now closed to the vast majority of pupils, we will be regularly adding activities on to our class pages for our children to complete at home.  These can be printed off and completed or just open them on the website and complete the work on paper (making a note of the activity and any question numbers).  Where possible, activities will come with answers (so look out parents before giving the children the task!)

 

Please make sure you keep checking the website for information and ensure that you have log-in details for Class Dojo - which will be our other information and work sharing platform.

 

Take care, the year 5 team.

Simply click on the dates below for any week of school closure and there will be links and documents for that week's home learning.  Paper versions of the learning packs are also available from school each week, from TUESDAY AFTERNOON onwards.  Please just come up to the main reception and collect a pack from the year 5 box.  All that we ask is that you sanitise your hands first (using the hand sanitiser provided) and highlight your child's name on the registration list when you take a pack.

OTHER USEFUL RESOURCES

This pack provides some ideas for 'brain breaks' - short challenges for the children to complete to take a break from the work that they are doing.  A few of the challenges may not suit learning at home but a number will work really well in the house.

Here are some ideas from the Healthy Schools team to provide support to parents and children when working from home.

Miss McCurry will be teaching in 5M until Miss Cooke returns from maternity leave.

We are supported in year 5 by Mrs Thornley (TA), Mrs Marsden (TA) and Miss Ward (ECAR teacher)

For the second half of the Spring Term, our project is 'Allotment'.

 

We will be growing (and tasting!) our own fruit and vegetables in the school allotment.

 

We will also be finding out about food grown in the UK and abroad and about the farming methods used to achieve this.

 

If you have any relatives who have a plot at a local allotment then, please, let us know.  It would be great if we could come and visit!  

This half term, our learning project is 'Beast Creator' - we are finding out all about the amazing world of invertebrates - from ones that live in our school grounds to some of the world's most deadliest creatures!

 

We will also be looking after some of our own invertebrates, as well as designing some imaginary creatures!

Also, look out for the weekly Learning Log challenges that we will be sending home as part of this project - we were blown away by some of the Stargazer home learning!  So, we are looking forward to seeing what you come up with this half term!
