Year 5 Home Learning Thursday 28th January 2021
Good morning my hardworking Year 5’s. I hope you are well and ready for today’s learning. Please try your best, if you are struggling to get through the work, do what you can and enjoy it. Most importantly, read a good book that you find interesting. I have had a look at some of the BBC Bitesize programmes on CBBC, ages 7-9 and 9-11 are really good. It’s Science Week, so I know some of you budding scientists will enjoy watching that. It starts at 9.00 and finishes just after 10.00. There are a range of things on during this time that may spark your interest. 'Celebrity Supply Teacher' is on after the programmes I have mentioned and is worth a watch and Horrible Histories...enjoy!
Reading
Please read for at least twenty/thirty minutes every day. Talk about what you have read with an adult. Discuss the story, characters and any new vocabulary you come across. If it is a non-fiction book then look at the contents page, glossary or index and see how it helps you find information.
We can issue books and change books as needed.
Reading Challenge: Use the book you are reading at the moment. Pretend you are one of the characters in the book and write a short diary entry for one day in the story. If you are reading a non-fiction book, write a short diary entry on facts you have discovered whilst reading. Please do this in your Home Learning exercise book with today’s date.
Spelling
This week we are investigating the suffix-ence. Please learn these spellings for Friday (29.01.21). If you don’t know what a word means, ask an adult or look it up in a dictionary. To help you learn them, write them down each day in your exercise book with the date. You could focus on your handwriting at the same time.
