More resources that the children can access from home…
Father Jim has added some lovely resources for the children on the CHILDREN’S PAGE of the Church website. Year 5 can access this through the following link https://www.olablackpool.org/children-s-page Please take a look at the lovely video that Father has made for the children, giving them the opportunity to ‘Ask Father Jim’ questions just like they would normally do in school. There are great resources to keep the children linked with Fr Jim and our Church family.
Year 5 have now been signed up to Oddizzi which is a geography website accessed at: https://www.oddizzi.com/schools/login/ Our username is OLAYear5 and I’ll send the password by text.
It has lots of great resources and many articles to read and answer questions on. I have uploaded the children’s names to the site, so any quizzes they take will be recorded in their name. This half term we had begun looking at rivers so that will be a great starting point to explore…
1 - On the explore tab click onto physical features and then onto rivers.
2 - On the quiz tab play the rivers quiz. There’s a class leaderboard for a bit of competition too!
For reading, you can access e-books at https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/?view=image&query=&type=book&age_group=Age+9-11&level=&level_select=&book_type=&series=#
Also, if you download the kindle app onto a tablet, or have a kindle, you can download some free children’s books to read. See amazon for more details. In addition, if you go to https://stories.audible.com/discovery you can find a range of stories to listen to including the first Harry Potter book.
Another website to look at for those Harry Potter fans amongst us, is the newly launched “Harry Potter at Home” hub where you can find articles, puzzles and videos https://www.wizardingworld.com/collections/harry-potter-at-home
Sumdog Pre-Easter National Contest. I have signed Year 5 up for this. Its starts tomorrow at 8am until Thursday 9th April 8pm. Each member of Year 5 will need to answer 1000 questions over the course of the week and we will compete against other schools and classes across the Nation. Try your best Year 5 and I hope to see your names on the Leaderboards. Good luck!
