Spring sunshine

Today we went on a lovely nature walk. Mrs Perkins made some fantastic envelopes so that we could collect our findings. We spotted a mouse taking cover in the roots of the hedgerow, looked at how Holly leaves are not all the same and also discovered lichen on the trees. After all our exploring, we chilled out by making daisy chains.

In the afternoon, we made our own playdough and played outside! Well done Harry and Jack for making school really enjoyable!

 

Daily maths tasks

Good morning!

Just a quick reminder that the children will need to try to keep up to date with these daily maths activities:

They should be capable of watching the videos, completing the work and then self marking. Today’s lesson will be Week 1, lesson 4.

Best wishes,

Parent to Teacher communication

Dear Parents/Carers,

We have set up a new email address which will allow you to communicate with your class teacher should you need to. This would be a great platform for you to share positive experiences at home whilst allowing a more direct form of contact in these unprecedented circumstances. The address is: Newdale.year5team@taw.org.uk

Children should continue to use Purple Mash 2email and the homework blog as their main forms of communication.

Best wishes,

Mr Banfield and Miss Myler

Noah’s incredible artwork

Noah has created a fantastic piece of computer based art for a book cover. I’m so impressed!

Google Classroom

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

I understand that some of you have been having issues connecting onto Classroom from home so I have created a document to run you through step by step which is attached below. I cannot stress enough how important it is that your child enters their username and password carefully using the correct punctuation and capital letters where necessary. I hope this helps. If not then please email through Purple Mash.

 

Thanks,

Daily Maths Activities

Dear Parents/Carers

Alongside the Purple Mash project that we have set this morning, we would like the children to be completing shorter daily activities which will revise key concepts from the Year 5 curriculum. These resources have been designed to allow children to work independently to watch a video, complete the activities and mark their own work.

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-5/

Step 1: Watch the video for the day’s lesson.

Step 2: Click “Get the Activity” for a downloadable PDF which will test your child’s understanding of the mathematical skill. This could be printed or just completed on paper. Please upload a photo to the homework blog or as an attachment in a Purple Mash email to your class teacher. 

Step 3: Click “Get the Answers” in order to check your child’s understanding.

Please commence on “Week 1” and follow the scheme, completing one lesson per day.

If you wish to complete other Maths activities, we strongly recommend going back to Year 3 and Year 4 activities in order to revise all skills which are tested in Year 6.

We always appreciate your support at home and have been really impressed by how much effort has been put into home learning in these strange times.

Best wishes,

 

Year 5

Jumping Orange Words

Please remember to keep on top of practising your spellings. This week, please continue to focus on the Jumping Orange words which we posted last week. You could choose one or two of the activities below to help cement the words into your mind!

 

Cupcakes

In the spirit of “waste not want not,” KS2 Hub made some little cupcakes this afternoon. Given all the running around we did whilst playing cricket, these were well-earned!

iPad Art

KS2 have been out in the sunshine finding interesting shapes. We have been using “Markup” to create line drawings on top of the photos.

Friday 20th March 2020

Dear Parents/Carers,

We would like to remind you that we will be in school as usual tomorrow. We look forward to seeing you then!

Best wishes,

Year 5
