Home Learning Activities for Week 3 (Week Beginning 18th January)

Submitted by Mrs Ferrier on
week 3

Hello Year 5! We have had another great week of online learning and whether you have been at school or at home, well done for all your hard work. We have really enjoyed receiving your work as well as photos of all the activities you have been doing. Once a week you will receive an email with feedback on the work you have completed the previous week.

This week we will continue to set you English and Maths work during the live Zoom sessions. If you miss the maths input, please check in with your teacher during one of the drop-in zooms if you are unsure of the written methods we are using. Similarly, if you miss the Thursday and Friday Literacy sessions, please ensure you have read the relevant chapters of Wonder that are uploaded so you don’t lose track of what is happening in the story.

Below is a selection of different activities for you to have a go at throughout the week. All activities can be found under the 'Isolation' tab unless we are providing a direct link, in which case it will be under the 'Links' tab.
