Well done to you all for sending in some stunning pieces of home learning. We continue to have amazing work about the solar system sent in as well as ‘recipe’ poems inspired by Benjamin Zephaniah. Biographies written about Harriet Tubman were well written and demonstrated her inspirational qualities. Please continue to email your brilliant artwork to Mrs Pearson, who will put them on to the art blog – you may need to scroll down some way to find your piece as there has been so many fabulous pieces sent in.

Please find below a wide variety of work that has been sent in:

    

 

We really appreciate the effort you are all putting into the home learning – children and parents/ carers alike – it’s not easy to be away from the classroom, constant teaching input and friends or to be supporting your child while also having to work from home yourselves. Maintaining routines and work will certainly support the transition back to school, once we are all allowed to return. Thank you for your continued support.

 

 

PE for next week is on Thursday 11^th February only. 

Homework:

Sumdog has been set, with a multiplication task and an arithmetic task. It’s good to keep times tables and mental arithmetic ticking over. This is due on Thursday 11th February.

Please ensure this is still being completed as it will help keep knowledge of multiplication facts ticking over and is a good way of keeping skills taught in mind.

 

**Reminder – it is a scheduled INSET day on Friday 12th February.

Children who are currently in school will not need to attend that day; there will be no work set on Teams and there will be no class video calls that day. Enjoy a long weekend leading into the half term break!

The reminders when working on Teams:

1. Even if you are working through the Oaks videos, you must record all your answers. (In a book, on paper, on a word document, powerpoint – however you want to record it.) All the support and challenge tasks are on word documents and you can record your answers on those as well.
2. Please ask your child to check the POSTS section as that is where we will post additional information or videos for your child to access.
3. If you cannot access the work via the ASSIGNMENTS tab, go to the FILEStab and find the work in the January 2021 folder.
4. Next week each work documents will be saved in a Word and PDF format to ensure that all children can access their learning from a variety of devices. If you cannot open the Word document then please try the PDF version.
5. Please try to check in at least once a day on a class video call.
6. Class chat is for work purposes not for sending messages or emojis to each other – all your chat conversations are visible to staff and chat notifications can be very distracting for children who are trying to concentrate on their work.
7. English and Maths will be uploaded daily.
8. Foundation subjects will have four days of work uploaded on Monday. There will be four subjects/tasks over Monday – Thursday. Use Friday afternoon to catch up on any work you have missed during the week.
9. We only need ONE photo/ uploaded piece of work per day for English and Maths.
10. English and Maths should be uploaded by 12 noon on Friday and Foundation subjects should be uploaded by 3pm on Friday.
11. If you have any technical issues with Teams that you are finding hard to fix, please phone the office and they can support you to resolve these.  Issues with broadband – unfortunately we cannot resolve these problems in terms of making Teams work on your device. Thank you for your understanding.
12. Remember to save the Word doc/ PDF to your device before you overwrite/ add to the document otherwise you will save your changes to the main folder on Teams and the work is then lost for others to use.

As in previous weeks, next week, you may not receive a message back from your teacher immediately as we are also teaching children who are in the classroom at the same time. We will respond to work sent by the end of the week.

No formal work will be set for Friday afternoons – please use this time to finish any incomplete work.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Year 5 Team
