Class 5

Welcome to the Class 5 School Closure page 

For this final week, we have a change to our normal home learning. You will not find the usual booklets on the class webpage.

Instead we have put together a summer holiday home learning booklet for you and a reflection booklet ready for moving to your new class.

The summer home learning booklet contains a range of activities to help keep you occupied over the next six weeks. You will find a variety of tasks linked to spellings, handwriting, reading, writing, maths and times tables. The reflection booklet is a great way for you to think about what you have achieved this year and goals to set yourself for next year.

Of course, there are no expectations for you to complete all of these tasks or try to follow a normal school routine during the summer holiday. If you have some spare time and are not sure what to do, we are here to help you with some suggestions. It is an extra resource for you to have at hand if needed. It will though be a great way to keep your skills up ready for a new start in September!

Hello and welcome to Class 5's school closure page.  As schools are still not fully open, we will be keeping you updated on this page with learning activities and ideas.

Here is the joint booklet for Year 5 and Year 6 for this week. You can download it below or you can collect a printed copy from the school foyer.

You also have a separate booklet that includes your new spelling words and Time Table Rockstar challenges for the week. Again, you can download it below or you can collect a printed copy from the school foyer.

We will still be using our Class Dojo page as a way of communicating and sharing things so do please keep posting on there with all the wonderful things you have been up to.

If you prefer to try some online lessons, then check out BBC Bitesize for a range of daily activities. The online lessons appear daily so check out the schedule below to see what is going to appearing soon.

As well as BBC Bitesize, you might also want to check out the daily lessons available on the Oak National Academy website. Oak National Academy is a new collection of high-quality lessons and online resources. Backed by the Government, it has been created in response to the coronavirus lockdown.

New lessons and resources are provided each week. You can either follow the daily suggestion or pick and choose lessons that are of interest to you.

Oak National Academy will fit perfectly alongside other resources such as BBC Bitesize and our own school closure booklets. Together, these can offer a structure to the day for children until schools fully reopen.
We absolutely do not expect you to be replicating school at home. The activities that we are posting are ideas for you to try and are a way of ensuring you are keeping up the skills we have learned in school. Try and do as much as you can and make it work for your family.

Unfortunately, schools are not yet open for Year 5 children.

As the teachers will all be in school doing different jobs for now, it does mean we need to make a few changes to our home learning.

From Monday 8th June, our Year 5 School Closure website will not contain daily tasks for you. However, I will still be posting our new spelling words and Times Table Rockstar questions every week.

There will though be a Y5/Y6 joint work booklet that you will be able to collect from the school foyer each Monday. It will be important that you all try to do some work each school day to keep your skills up.

 

Each morning I will still be saying 'Hello' on the Class Story page on the Class Dojo app. You'll also be able to ask me any questions or just tell me about what you have been up to! As I will be in school, remember I might not be able to respond straight away. You will still be able to post things to your Class Dojo portfolio but it might not always be me who approves and leaves comments for you.

We will keep you informed when there are any changes.
