Diversity Day

Today we learned all about Indra Lal Roy, who was an Indian ace fighter pilot flying for the British in World War I. The children really engaged with the story of his resilience in gaining 10 dogfight victories and even seemingly coming back from the dead after he was presumed dead in a crash in 1916.

This afternoon, we celebrated his achievements by creating RAF artwork using mono printing. This is a really challenging technique, but the children kept persevering to be successful.

Extra Writing Practise and Times Tables Ideas

If you would like your child to get some extra practise at writing at a Year 5 level, they could try using any of these story starters as a launchpad into their writing. Remember to get your child to re-read their work and edit to make improvements and to check that it makes sense.

This next website is a fantastic resource which can help creative writing. The children could develop word choice and use a thesaurus to describe the images, or they could fix the “sick sentences” or work on their inference skills by answering the questions.

In terms of learning times tables, here are a few links to help develop speed and reasoning.

Maybe you could even do a “rock slam” against your child on Times Table Rock Stars!

Year 5 e-learning trial

I am looking for Computing helpers across Year 5!

At 4pm after school on Friday, I will be running a test run meeting using Google Meets which will last c. 10-15 minutes. If you (children) would like to take part from home then please log in to google classroom using your chromebook logins (you will need to write @taw.org.uk after your name as your username. e.g. john.smith@taw.org.uk).

Once you are “in” Google Classroom, you will need to click onto this year’s Year 5 class – 5 2020.

 

At 4 pm, click the Meet Link under the class title and then click join now.

We will then run through simle tasks, such as muting microphones and trying the chat and screensharing functions. At this stage I should be able to talk you through the tasks.

So hurry on home and I’ll hopefully see some of you at 4!
