This week’s Science learning is all about ‘Life Cycles’. Use the powerpoint below to help you learn more about different life cycles. Then complete some more of your own research. Consider how they are different and how they are similar. We look forward to you sharing your learning….

The focus for this week in Creative Curriculum is Anglo Saxon Villages. Your challenge is to find out as much information about the villages and then present your findings. Follow the powerpoint below (clicking on the links) to help and the other documents to support.

PE and RE:
Look at the documents below for PE and RE activities this week.
There are activities for each day linked to PE.
The RE is all about Ramadan. Use the documents to learn about Ramadan. You could then do some more of your own research. Either print or use the other documents to help you to present your learning.

It was fantastic to chat to you all on Teams this morning. Remember we will be on-line each day 10:00-12:00. There will be another quiz tomorrow and based on requests we will be making this a bit more challenging. We would also like you to upload an example of your learning on Friday to share with everyone in your class. If you have any questions or are struggling to access Teams please email your teacher.

TT Rockstars: Congratulations to the winners this week…Y5 Children!!
Well done to everyone who took part.

We are excited to announce that from this week we will be using ‘Microsoft Teams’ to help us to stay in touch during this challenging time. Your teacher will call you to help you to get started.
You will need to go to www.office.com and use the email address and password that you have been given over the phone. (If you have not been given this please email your class teacher.)
When you sign in for the first time you will be asked to change your password. Make this unique and something that you will be able to remember. (Note: Always keeps your passwords secret.)
Once you have signed in you will should see a welcome sign. You will now be able to send an email to your class teacher using one of the email addresses below. The settings on your account means that you can only send emails to your teachers and only receive emails from your teachers.
You will also be able to access a wide range of on-line applications, such as Word, Excel and Powerpoint. These may help you to complete future work.
You will also be able to see a symbol that says ‘Teams’. This is the application that we can use to help to keep in touch. You can log in and post messages to the groups / channels / teams that you have been assigned to.
A teacher from the year 5 team will be available between 10-12 pm each day, starting from Wednesday 13th May.
We hope to ‘see’ you on there soon…

These lessons contain a initial quiz, video explaining the learning, activity and end of lesson quiz. If you do have any issues with opening any of these links please contact your class teacher. You don’t need to print anything but please record your learning in your book. If you have any questions please email your teacher.

Please find below the resources you will need for English this week. This also includes Guided Reading activities. This week is our final week on our ‘Debating’ topic. You can follow through the powerpoint each day. You don’t need to print any of the resources but please record your learning in your book. If you have any questions please email your teacher. We look forward to see your discussion texts….

This week’s Science learning should build upon your learning from last week about plants. We have another five videos that we would like you to watch. You can then decide how you would like to present your learning. This could be as a poster, a powerpoint, an information page….

The focus for this week in Creative Curriculum is Art. Your challenge is to draw a three-dimensional Anglo-Saxon house. Follow the powerpoint below (clicking on the links) to help you build up the skills to draw your house. We expect this piece of work to take a few days as you practice your skills before creating your final piece. When you have finished we would love to see your pictures.
