Welcome back Year 5! We hope you had a well-earned rest over half-term and have kept yourselves safe and well.
At the moment, we know we have 2 further weeks of remote learning. This week will continue in the same way as before, with our daily Zoom sessions and a range of other activities for you to choose to complete at home. Next week, we will be doing all sorts of activities linked to World Book Day.
So for 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.
