Good morning Year 5, I hope you’ve all had a wonderful weekend.
Thank you once again for you’re amazing efforts with your learning at home. I’m really pleased to see so many of you working so hard on Bedrock - most of you are now completing three or more lessons a week which is fantastic. There has also been a great effort with maths on Sumdog and MyMaths too. If any of you have forgotten your logins for any of these sites then please do email me and I can send the details to you. I know that many of you have also been working on the lessons from White Rose Maths and the Pie Corbett writing now too - thank you to those parents who have been sending me copies of the work completed.
I also want to say a big thank you👏🏻 to those of you who had a go at the #ShareYourShakespeare challenge. Please take a look at our Twitter page @OLABlackpool to see your entries. If you still want to have a go at this, it’s not too late to send me your entry - remember it can be anything Shakespeare 🎭 🎨.
This week’s learning focus:
English:
Read daily for at least 20 minutes. If you can, share what you have read with someone else.
Remember you can borrow ebooks and eAudio books from your local library. Go to https://blackpool.overdrive.com/library/youth for more information - there are some great titles that will be of interest to everyone. Oxford Owl also has ebooks you can read too.
Bedrock - Complete three times this week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday). Can be completed every 48 hours.
I would also like you to continue with the writing task from the Pie Corbett Learning pack you started last week - Year 5 Pie Corbett learning pack You should have completed this work by the end of this week. It can be printed off if you can, or just use from the screen with a note book if not. Please send me a copy of your writing when you’ve finished.📝
Sumdog & Education City - Spelling and grammar tasks have been set on these sites.
Maths:
Lots of you followed the White Rose Maths lessons last week, well done! I would like you to continue using this resource. The focus this week is Week 2 lessons which can be found at: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-5/
Sumdog & MyMaths - I have set tasks on these sites which reinforce the White Rose Resources and allow you to practise the skills.
TT Rockstars - Daily for 10 minutes.
RE:
RE Home Activities This has many RE activities that the children can do from home. Please have a look at the links to the Year 5 and 6 activities!
Can I also remind you that Fr Jim has set up a Chidren’s page on the Church Website:
https://www.olablackpool.org/children-s-page
Just like the ‘Ask Fr Jim’ book we have in school, Fr Jim is asking you to email (oladyblackpool@gmail.com) him any questions that the children want to ask him, along with their name and year group. Fr Jim will then respond to these questions and puts the video response on the children’s page. It’s a lovely way to keep the children connected to the church and to Fr Jim, who also misses all the children dearly!
Additional work/resources:
• Espresso Learning
• #OnlineSafetyAtHome pack 3 from ThinkUKnow
• https://www.oddizzi.com This week’s new challenge from Oddizzi is Country close up
• Lancashire Stay at Home Programme has some physical activities the children can do.
• ¡Aquí se habla Español ! If you want to continue learning Spanish, a lovely fun app called Duolingo (free version) is a great place to start. Why not try 10 minutes a day and see how much you can learn. Let me know how you get on!
Have a lovely week Year 5. I look forward to seeing all your hard work but I would also like to hear about the other things you are doing…What are you reading? Have you done any baking? Have you drawn/painted/made anything? Please send photos of these things that we can share on our next blog. I would also like to challenge you to send me a photo of a healthy selfie (a photo of yourself engaging in some form of physical exercise). I will look forward to receiving those too!
Take care, miss you all!
Mrs McVey🙋🏻
