Hello Year 5! Once again, we have been blown away by how hard you have been working and the quality of the work you have been producing. We certainly have a year group of multiplication whizzes now! There have been some superb uploads including diary entries from August’s point of view, brilliant theme park literacy work, impressive vector drawings, some amazing rocket sculptures and a wide selection of other work and activities that you have been busy doing at home.
If possible, please could you upload the completed literacy and maths work the same day it is set. As we would if we were marking your work in school, we assess your uploaded work to see if we need to revisit areas or address misconceptions the following day, or whether we need to extend you further because you all know what you are doing.
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.
