Home Learning From September 2020
If you are self-isolating and so learning at home, please scroll down the page to find our 'Home Learning' section.
Home Learning
Please find below the weekly Home Learning Grids for Year 5 and the associated video links, powerpoint presentations and worksheets etc. that you will need to complete your work at home. Please open up a Google document to record your work and share it with me when you have completed each task so that I can mark your work. If it's not appropriate to work in Google (it might be tricky to use this way of recording for Maths calculations, for example) or you're unable to do this, please send me a photograph of the work you have done on paper when you've finished it. You can share things with me or email them via Google. Please ask your parents to email school (or me) if you have forgotten your Google log-in.

What has everyone in our class enjoyed doing whilst they’ve been at home?
In school this week the children have been painting scenes of the storming of the Bastille:
Look at how busy everyone has been:
Oliver R and his Mum found a baby blue tit which had fallen out of its nest and was being attacked by some blackbirds (which are a lot bigger than blue tits). They managed to rescue the unfortunate chick and took it to a local animal sanctuary where it is being well looked after.
Joey has been fishing with his Dad and learning lots of useful life skills as he’s been helping with digging work in the garden! He’s also been in charge of keeping everything well-watered on all those hot, sunny days.
Eleah has had a new addition to her family – a very tiny, cute and furry kitten that they’ve named Phoebe. She likes to watch everything that goes on from the window sills in the house.
George began the ‘lockdown’ by getting stuck into the ‘Lego Challenge’. He and his mum have enjoyed learning about was WW1 together, especially about life in the trenches. George had fun in a hot-tub in the garden for a special occasion too!
Dhilan has worked very hard to make sure that he’s an absolute Maths whizz while he’s been learning at home. He has also entered the Commonwealth Essay Writing Competition with a fantastic piece of writing about the environment, the effect of the global pandemic on our planet and looking ahead to the future too.
Riley has been keeping fit by going on lots of walks with his family and has also enjoyed cooking and baking at home too.
Amelia has enjoyed the sunny weather and has been for lots of lovely long walks with her family so that she can make the most of the outdoors.
Eddie has been keeping fit and has learnt lots of new football tricks.
Adan has enjoyed celebrating Eid with her family while we’ve been off school. It was a very different celebration this year, but she talked with family via facetime and she had lots of delicious food to eat. She’s also enjoyed the sunshine and has read so many books!
Dylan has been learning a lot about food and making meals with his sister - he's now an expert at preparing delicious lunches for his family!
