Year 5 spellings W/C 6th July

Hello year 5,

For those of you who have returned to school, your spellings for week commencing 6th July 2020 are a new set of jumping orange words. These are another set of tricky ones, so keep practising. Maybe you could use the words to play hangman with a member of your household? Can you sort them into alphabetical order? Alternatively maybe you can you write them out in capital letters, or write out the definitions from a dictionary?

Week 3 JO Spellings

If you are continuing to work from home, I will continue to email you as normal with your weekly spellings and their associated activities, so please disregard this (unless you would like to do both sets, which you are of course more than welcome to do :-)).

Many thanks

Year 5 Homework

Hello Year 5!

Well here we are on yet another Friday! Whether you are at school or at home, I hope that you have had a wonderful week and well done for working so hard – give yourself a pat on the back.

Your homework question for this week is based on the growth mindset work that we have been focussing on in the afternoons. We have learnt the importance of having a positive attitude towards learning and our ability to progress and achieve with practise and determination.

For your homework, I would like you to spend some time thinking about what you might like to do for a career when you finally leave education. Some of you may already have some very definite ideas about your career path. If you do, then research around that role to find out what you need to achieve in order to get there. What qualifications do you need? Do you need to go to university? What skills and qualities do you need? Is there any voluntary work experience that you could undertake as you get older to support your development of these skills? Create a picture of yourself in your chosen career and present your research of this role (and your path to get there) around it.

Some of you may have absolutely no idea what you want to do – and that’s fine too! It took me a long time to discover that the job I love is that of a Teaching Assistant. It’s helpful to learn about yourself a little more first to establish what careers might appeal to your interests. Can you think about what your favourite subjects are at school? What do you enjoy learning about? Do you enjoy literacy or maths? Or is science, or maybe art, more your thing? What are your hobbies? Do you like being outside? Are you a baker? Do you enjoy sport? Create a picture of yourself and surround it with your favourite subjects and hobbies – an ‘All About Me’. You can then use this to help you reflect, as you progress through school, on where you might like your career path to take you.

I would love to see your finished pieces and to hear all about you and maybe what career path you have already decided you would like to follow. Please either email me directly with your work or post it on the blog. This is due in by Friday 10th July 2020.

Dream big because you are all capable of doing amazing things and remember that who you are tomorrow begins with what you do today.

Have a fabulous weekend Year 5, you wonderful bunch.

Speak soon

HP Complementing Colours

Fantastic work today using watercolours on intricate designs. We focused on using colours which complemented one another and developed our skills with colour mixing. Ola, Tia, Bailey and Emma particularly impressed me today. Well done!

Update 02.07.2020

Dear Parents/Carers,

The children we have in school continue to tell us and show us that they are enjoying being back into school routines.

We are full in all year groups which is why teachers are continuing to work hard on our ‘Home Learning’ offer for those children who are not here.

As you will now know, we have managed to organise Crossbar for weeks 2 – 5 (inclusive) over the summer: please refer to our website. We do not normally do this and it is purely to support children and working parents during this tricky time.

The government has issued a lot of new notifications recently about easing lockdown measures. We are fully aware that this easing could in fact increase our risks in school. Please be assured that we are not easing any of our measures, and we ask you to be mindful of the need to continue with hygiene measures:

  • strict routines around handwashing before sending your children to school
  • very regular changes of clothes
  • thorough sanitising of drinks bottles every night

It is very important that you do not send your child in if they are ill, and that you ensure you inform us immediately. The NHS website is full of very useful information around what you need to do should anyone in your household begin displaying symptoms.

We are happy to advise, but please remember we are not medics and will really only be able to signpost you to other professionals.

Thank you for your continued support.

Value of the Month- July

Thank you for all your support with the value of the month for June, which was Honesty. Throughout June, children learnt the importance of being truthful to others; being truthful to themselves; doing what’s right regardless of who’s around and being someone others can trust.

Our value of the month for July is Reflecting.

Providing opportunities for reflection is an important part of school and home life. It is important that children are given the chance to reflect upon their learning, school and life experiences.

What is Reflecting?

  1. To think carefully or deeply about something.
  2. To look at ways to make changes or improvements.

Suggestions for parents to work with children at home:

  1. Talk with your child about ‘reflecting’. Try to answer: ‘What does reflecting involve?’ Discuss some examples.
  2. As your child is approaching the end of this academic year, it is important that they reflect on all the positives and negatives they have encountered over the year. Discuss with your child what has gone well this year; have they met a certain challenge or target? What steps did they take to achieve it?
  3. Also discuss with your child what they feel they need to improve on. Perhaps it could be that they need to read regularly at home or have a positive attitude towards their work.
  4. Has something happened this year that they wish they had handled differently? Discuss with your child what they could do next time if faced with the same situation.

Please let your child’s teacher know if we can celebrate any work from home, in school. Feedback on the values and what you do at home is really valuable to us and we really appreciate all your support.

If you can support us in any way, please get in touch via the school office.

Dear parent / carer

Crossbar will be running a Summer Holiday Club at Newdale Primary School on Weeks 2, 3, 4 & 5 of the school holidays and booking will be live this afternoon online at http://www.crossbarcoaching.schoolipal.co.uk where you will need to register as a parent adding your child/children before booking your place.

The club is open to 4*-11 year olds (*4 year olds must have already started school And currently in reception) and will run from 8.30am until 4pm for one fixed price of £15 per day. Your child will need to bring a packed lunch, suitable clothing and plenty to drink.

Crossbar will email all parents again before the clubs commence with instructions for dropping off and picking up your children to ensure this is done in a safe and controlled manner.  There will be no provision to arrive at our clubs without pre booking.

Thank you for your patience whilst we have been working closely with the school to ensure that the club can run with minimum risk to both your children and our the Crossbar Staff.

Please see Our Safety Poster attached. We will be following guidance from government, department of education and the out of school alliance so if anything needs to change, then we will keep you informed at all times.
