In order to allow your child to continue to make solid progress at home, Year 5 will be adding work onto the Google Classroom for your child to complete.

To log onto Classroom, you simply need to visit classroom.google.com and enter the email address in the format firstname.lastname@taw.org.uk with the password which is in the reading diary (the same one as for the Chromebooks). Set work will be under the “Classwork” section under “self-isolation.”

If you have any questions, please feel free to email newdale.year5team@taw.org.uk and we will try our best to support further.

Thank you,

Year 5

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.

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