Year 5 Home Learning Info Wk Beg 13.7.2020

10th July 2020Natalie Jewitt

Hi Year 5!

We hope you are all well and safe.

Well, what can we say?! What a year it has been… Quite unbelievable the way it has come to a close. Obviously, with this being the last week, we won’t be setting you quite the same content as we have done. We very much appreciate that most of you have been working extremely hard over the past few weeks. Keep doing your very best year 5 and keep up with the basics at the very least – so that it isn’t such a shock to the system when you return in September!

For now, here is your final Home Learning Information for the week beginning 13.7.2020 (your LAST week in year 5!).

Don’t forget, all of our previous week’s home learning guidance is backed up on Google Classroom should you like to access it over the holiday period. You just need to log in with your school email address to access it, or click HERE.

 

Do feedback any technical issues and we will try to resolve them for you asap!

Guidance Overview

We have provided the usual resources in the Home Learning files, however some are more simplified:

  • Overview (timetable ideas and useful links)
  • Monday – Friday files (resources specific to that day as per the overview)
  • Maths (starters and daily tasks)
  • English (useful prompts, word of the week and grammar activities)
  • Spelling and Grammar (part of daily tasks or English file)
  • Reading (part of daily tasks)
  • Classroom Secrets Home Learning Packs (French themed this week!)
  • EAL (useful resources for those receiving support from EMTRAS)
  • Something a bit different – (exactly that!)

The afternoons focus on Art this week – a war artist and sculptor named Henry Moore. There is a different lesson each day, with an accompanying Powerpoint for lessons 1-5. Further resources are provided for lessons 1 and 3.

White Rose Maths

White Rose lessons continue to be back to normal this week, with no need for alternate provision. The standard home learning videos on their website are those which you will need to follow for lessons 1 – 4. We have provided you with the necessary materials and a PDF with links to the videos as usual.

Third Space Learning Independent Recap Activities

For those of you looking to give your children extra independent Maths recap practice, we have compiled some activity sheets from a company called ‘Third Space Learning’ who provide ‘Fluent in Five’ which you may already be familiar with. The sheets are comprised of an Arithmetic section, Practice and Challenge. Answer sheets are also provided. Click here or look in the Maths folder to see what you think. There are new sheets for each week and they are available for all year groups.

You can also continue to access Oak National Academy, BBC Bitesize Daily Learning and Classroom Secrets should you wish to mix up your daily programme of learning.

Don’t forget: you continue to have access to Purple Mash, Education City, Lexia Core 5, Mathletics, Times Table Rockstars, Epic! Books and Discovery Espresso.

 

Summer Revision

We will not be supplying weekly guidance over the holiday period, however a file has been created containing further Maths and SPaG revision which can be accessed over the holidays should you wish to – this is NOT compulsory. It is there for those who would like to use it. Click here to access the Summer Revision File.

Request from Miss Humphrey for those currently in Miss Sanderson’s class:

Please could you email a ‘headshot’ photograph of your child – shoulders up over – to her email address: [email protected]

This will used as part of their artwork and class display in September – some of the children may recall seeing a display outside of Miss Humphrey’s room. The photographs will be printed on A4 and cut in half length-ways. The children will then paint the other half of their face using watercolours in order to create a complete self-portrait. Any queries, email Miss Humphrey at the above address.

Don’t forget, reports will be available for collection on Wednesday 15th between 1:30 and 2:30pm. See you then!

We hope you continue to stay safe and well. You’ve got this year 5!

Take good care all,

Mrs Tuff and Miss Sanderson 🙂 🙂

On a personal note…

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for being wonderful year 5. You may have seen by now that I am leaving Ashley Primary School at the end of this academic year – one of the toughest decisions I’ve had to make! Whilst I have been teaching at the school for 3 years, as most of you know, I was a teaching assistant here long before that, first joining Ashley Primary in 2010. It really does feel like I’m leaving family behind and I will miss you all.

It has been a strange few days beginning to sort out my classroom – who knew you could fit so much into a cupboard! I want you to know that you have helped me make some fantastic memories over the last few months, I am just so sorry we didn’t get to end the year together and enjoy cakes and films on the last day.

Don’t forget how amazing, unique and strong you all are. Most of all, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be your teacher and to help you learn. I too, have learned from you all.

I’ll send you a postcard… Now that I can do this Google Meet malarkey, maybe we could have a virtual catch up some day…

Take care everyone and see you soon.

My best wishes and Good Luck in all that you do,

Miss S xxx

Great French Language Challenge!

By Natalie Jewitt15th May 2020

Bonjour!

Hi everyone,

As part of our Modern Foreign Languages curriculum at Ashley Primary School, Key Stage 2 study the French language.

I thought the following activities would give you something a little different to challenge yourself with whilst you’re staying safe at home with your families and also help you to keep in touch with your French learning!

The Great French Language Challenge is made up of a number of fun activities to do with your families  which focus on the French language – in fact some of them you might need to ask for a little help with and make it a real family challenge!  You could even join up with class mates online (be e-safe aware!) and create a socially distanced team!

If you manage to complete the French challenge, why not try the second challenge and choose a different language to focus on? Can you find any similarities between that language and your French challenges? Which words sound the same or have similar roots? Did any words surprise you?

I appreciate given the current situation it might be tricky to do one or two of the challenges, for example trying foods from that country which you may not have tried before: shopping isn’t straight forward at the moment, and I don’t want you to spend any money on this! For that reason, you can change any challenge that proves too difficult to complete for one that you make up yourself – how imaginative can you be?

To download the files, click on the images below.

Go on! Why not have a go – discuss with your families and compare ideas with friends. Most of all, have fun! 🙂

Anyone who manages to complete the challenge can send me an email at [email protected] with the subject line ‘Great French Language Challenge’ or ‘Great Languages Challenge’.

Parents, so that your child can be rewarded with their awesome certificate, please include their name (first name and initial of surname only) and class – or if it was a family effort, maybe create a team name and send me that instead! (I still need a class for reference however 😉 )

Bonne chance! (Good luck!)

For your information, there are also some great activities on Education City (you will need your login details) and BBC Bitesize if you fancy brushing up on your French.

https://go.educationcity.com/level/index/4

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/subjects/z39d7ty

Nothing beats listening to a language to help promote the learning of it, so maybe try and tune into some French songs online as well. Here are just a few as an example, but there are loads out there – you might find some cartoons as well:

Year 5 Home Learning wk beg: 11.5.2020

10th May 2020Natalie Jewitt

Greetings Year 5!

We hope you had a good bank holiday weekend celebrating VE Day with your families – all socially distanced of course! This week marks the bicentennial celebrations (200th birthday anniversary) of Florence Nightingale – which wonderfully coincides with ‘International Nurses Day’ – on Tuesday 12th May.

The theme for International Nurses Day this year is ‘Nursing the world to health’ with a focus on the ‘true value of nurses to the people of the world’. I think you’ll agree that this is quite an appropriate theme given the current situation we find ourselves in. Perhaps you could write why you believe nurses are so important to us and give thanks for the values they work so hard towards achieving each and every day.

We have provided some fun colouring activities (click here) to mark this day, as well as a differentiated reading comprehension activity about Florence Nightingale.

Florence was a key contributor the changing the face of nursing during what were incredibly difficult times.

The video below (shared from BBC Teach) provides a first person insight into who exactly Florence Nightingale was:

For a slightly more fun perspective of the life of Florence, you could check out the ‘Horrible Histories’ video below:

 

Weekly Learning Guidance

As always, we have provided a weekly overview should you choose to follow a more structured week which includes daily Maths from White Rose (click here to access online videos); Fluent in Five and Rapid Reasoning; English tasks, using Serial Mash (Purple Mash) as a tool; Spelling practice from Oxford Owl Read Write Inc; and Grammar tasks from a selection of sources including Vocabulary Ninja and Purple Mash. We have also included the usual resources for you to complete Word of the Week, Spelling Menu practice, Number of the Day and ‘Something a bit Different’, which includes various activities for you to explore. We have also added one or two videos reminding you how to access online resources. Click here or on the image below to access the files.

You can also use BBC Daily Bitesize or Oak National Academy both of whom provide complete, daily lessons with video tutorials. We have included videos in the files to show how to navigate Oak National Academy. Don’t forget to continue accessing Lexia and Mathletics – and why not have a look at Education City as well. Do ask if you need any login reminders.

Project work

You can also keep going with your Titanic projects this week – all of the resources have been carried across for you to access should you need them, but do feel free to research the topic in any way which suits you.

PSHE (Personal Social Health Education)

This week, we have also added a file called PSHE which contains some resources kindly forwarded to us by Miss Stratford. The focus of this topic is to learn about what is important in the relationships of our Families and Friends, aiming to help us understand the qualities and values of positive relationships. Included in the file is a PowerPoint to learn from and three accompanying activities.

EAL

As well as PSHE and the usual resources, you will also notice a file for those students who receive support from EMTRAS under English as an Additional Language (EAL) guidelines. Our plan is to put in any resources shared with us from Helen at EMTRAS for those students who usually receive support from her. We hope you will find this a useful addition.

Home Learning Packs

As ever, we will provide access to Classroom Secret Home Learning Packs for all year groups to cater for your differentiation needs.

 

Please keep going everyone, we know we haven’t seen each other for what seems like quite a long time now! But do persevere. We are so proud of you all for trying hard to follow the government’s advice to stay at home and protect one another. Every little bit of learning you can manage really will help when we finally get back to school – whether you follow the guidance we have provided, BBC Daily Bitesize, Oak National Academy, or simply complete your basics in terms of reading, spelling and tables every day. It all counts.

Stay safe everyone, and don’t forget, you can contact your class teacher and ask to be added to Class Dojo on the email addresses below.

Oak National Academy

By Natalie Jewitt4th May 2020

Hi Year 5,

The Department for Education have shared an approved online teaching resource called Oak National Academy, which schedules weekly lessons, taught by qualified teachers. Lesson material and videos are provided as part of this service.

It can be accessed in two ways, via a schedule or by searching specific subjects and topics.

Although we have already provided you with home learning resources, this site is another good quality source to explore.

If there is a particularly useful lesson sequence which aligns with something we have given you, we will signpost you there, however in the mean time please feel free to explore the site yourselves.

I have included 2 videos showing the two different ways to explore the site – the first shows the schedule approach, the second how to search specific subjects.


Our advice would be that no matter whether you choose to follow the schedule or search a specific topic, as the lessons are in sequence, do try to follow from ‘Lesson 1’ to ensure secure understanding.

Let us know how you get on – if you need any assistance do get in touch via our emails below. Don’t forget, you can be added to our Class Dojo to more easily communicate with your class teacher.
