It has been so lovely to see all the fabulous work that the children have been uploading this week. It is clear that they are working hard and taking pride in their presentation of their home learning. Thank you for your support of the children at home in creating learning routines which support the school day. It is so beneficial for them to maintain a routine of learning and will enable the children to transition back into school life much easier.
A big celebration this week has been the children creating different versions of the Solar Systems as part of our SPACE topic- some very creative ideas. Have a look below at the photos:
Well done for all the hard work that is being done on Teams again this week. Just a few reminders when working on Teams:
- Even if you are working through the Oaks videos, you must record all your answers. (In a book, on paper, on a word document, powerpoint – however you want to record it.) All the support and challenge tasks are on word documents and you can record your answers on those as well.
- Please ask your child to check the POSTS section as that is where we will post additional information or videos for your child to access.
- If you cannot access the work via the ASSIGNMENTS tab, go to the FILES tab and find the work in the January 2021 folder.
- Next week each work documents will be saved in a Word and PDF format to ensure that all children can access their learning from a variety of devices. If you cannot open the Word document then please try the PDF version.
- Please try to check in at least once a day on a class video call.
- Class chat is for work purposes not for sending messages or emojis to each other – all your chat conversations are visible to staff and chat notifications can be very distracting for children who are trying to concentrate on their work.
- English and Maths will be uploaded daily.
- Foundation subjects will have four days worth of work uploaded on Monday. There will be four subjects/tasks over Monday – Thursday. Use Friday afternoon to catch up on any work you have missed during the week.
- We only need ONE photo/ uploaded piece of work per day for English and Maths.
- English and Maths should be uploaded by 12 noon on Friday and Foundation subjects should be uploaded by 3pm on Friday.
- If you have any technical issues with Teams that you are finding hard to fix please phone the office and they can support you to resolve these. Issues with broadband – unfortunately we can not resolve these problems in terms of making Teams work on your device. Thank you for your understanding.
As last week, next week, you may not receive a message back from your teacher immediately as we are also teaching children who are in the classroom at the same time.
We will respond to work sent by the end of the week.
No formal work will be set for Friday afternoons – please use this time to finish any incomplete work.
PE for next week is on Wednesday 20th January only.
Poetry competition booklets have been uploaded to the FILES tab – this is for the whole of the spring term.
Homework:
Sumdog has been set, with a multiplication task and an arithmetic task. It’s good to keep times tables and mental arithmetic ticking over. This is due on Thursday 21st January.
Enjoy your weekend,
Year 5 Team
