Year 5 Home Learning Wednesday 6th January 2021
Good Morning Year 5, I hope you are all well and staying safe with your families at home. I'm so sad that we only got to be in class together for one day, but we must try our best to stay positive and work hard to keep learning every day, it is so important for you. I'll be counting the days until we are all happily and safely back in class together.
Every evening, I will post your Home Learning on the Year 5 blog for the next day. Please try hard to complete the work as though you were in school. That means best handwriting, spelling, vocabulary choices, remember good punctuation (capital letters, full stops, commas, speech marks, exclamation and question marks to name a few). In Maths, please keep practising times tables, counting and number facts. You can do this weekly on Sumdog and in maths tasks. Of course, reading every day is a must!
Please collect a Home Learning exercise book (to put all your home learning work in) from the school office and you can show me and your class mates the lovely work you have done when you return to school.
We can also provide reading books as needed.
I hope you will all stay happy and positive at home even though you’ll probably miss your friends. A great way to do this is to set yourself a small goal each day, because reaching our goals gives us a sense of achievement and makes us feel proud, happy and positive. Please print out or copy the ‘My Goals’ document below, this can be done weekly.
Here are some ideas for your goals, but I’m sure you can think of lots of your own as well:
- Exercise for 20 minutes.
- Bake a cake or do some cooking.
- Learn something new.
- Speak to a friend.
- Do some Yoga (have a look on youtube for children’s Yoga sessions).
- Do some drawing (there are loads of tutorials for children on youtube. I like the cute drawings of animals).
- Tidy your bedroom.
- Play a board game or build with lego.
- Write a letter or postcard to family or friends/write a poem.
- Have a screen free day.
- Create your own workout.
- Make a den.
- List ten things to be thankful for.
English
Our new short novel is Cloud Tea Monkeys. Please read the story and look at the pictures up to page 10. You will find this in the documents below.
After reading the text, write a list of 10 questions you would like to ask someone about the text. Please write these into your exercise book. The date and title are:
Wednesday 6th January 2021
Can I ask and write questions about a text I have read?
Try to focus some of your questions on how the world of the story is created. What words and phrases build a picture of the setting? What simile is used to show that there are lots of tea plants?
Try to include some questions which encourage other people to use their skills of inference to find the answer? For example, how do you think the girl is feeling today and why? Can you ask open ended questions? These are questions where the answer is not written directly in the text.
Remember to use capital letters and question marks!!! Also best handwriting and presentation.
