Hello Year 5,
Welcome to our last week of the Spring 1 term. This week we are having a themed week and will be looking at Internet Safety, Women in science, Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day. I do hope that you enjoy the activities that I've organised.
Take good care of yourselves and I look forward to seeing you all on zoom and reading your work on Seesaw.
Kind regards
Ms McCoy
Next week you have the opportunity to take part in the Jorvik Viking Centre's virtual activites. Every day at 10.00am and 2.00pm, a member of their Virtual Outreach team will be hosting a live ‘Meet the Viking’ session from York. The sessions will be broadly similar each day – so you can pick the best time to watch one – and last for around 20-25 minutes each.
We have uploaded this week's Home Learning Grid and attachments. Thank you to all parents who take time to go through this with their child- it is great to see our planned ideas being used at home by so many children.
We have a regular Zoom class with children who work ever so hard and share their work with us on Seesaw, we are impressed by all the activities that they are completing each day.
Mrs Parker is awarding certificates for Home Learning. Well done to all those children (and parents) at home who regulary complete home learning.
Keep Safe
Gong hei fat choy!
This week we will be celebrating Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day.
Attached below is this week's home learning grid. Don't forget to keep practising your handwriting and reading your phase 2 and 3 words (I have attached another copy below).
I have added some valentines activities you may like to try and a phonics revision booklet for you to have a go at. If you do not have a printer,please don't worry; just use it for ideas to create your own activities.
Hope you enjoy the celebrations!

Today Captain Sir Tom Moore sadly died at the age of 100 years old. He was a true inspiration to many people, raising money for the NHS and lifting people's spirits during lockdown.
To remember this legendary man, can you do 100 exercises of your choice. Send photographs of your physical activities to your class teacher.
RIP Captain Sir Tom.

These posters have great strategies on them to practise mindfulness.
Practise these activities each day and then when you are feeling anxious, stressed or frustrated try to use them to make you feel calmer.
I know I like to use 'Go through your senses' when I can't get to sleep. It works every time :)

Jodrell Bank Observatory is the UK’s latest UNESCO World Heritage Site and an icon for British science and engineering. Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre have many great science resources that you can use at home.
Why not design your own alien? - look at the SETI and 'alien life' section; or go on a journey to the moon- have a look at the 'watch the skies' section; or listen to some of the talks and lectures and be inspired.
Here is this week's home learning. Keep sending me your work on Seesaw, it is just fantastic!
Miss you all so much!
Stay safe
Mrs K
Thank you for your continued support with Home Learning, especially with sending me the children’s Creative Homework tasks over the past week. I am so impressed with their hard work and creativity! I only wish that we were in school so that we could display their fantastic work for all to see! I plan to have our “Class Debate” on Monday which involves using the children’s skills of persuasion! Please click "read more" to access the worksheets that are available for this week. Thank you. Mrs Blomeley
This week is Children's Mental Health week so here are lots of different activities you can do to take a break from all your learning.
- Daily Mile Bingo = Walk or run your daily mile. Earn a certificate if you get a full house.
- Football, Rugby or Athletics Bingo = The first 3 themed bingo grids in a series of 6. For each full house you complete you earn a medal and if you complete all 6 then you get a School Games badge. You can either send your entries to your class teacher or submit them via the details at the bottom of the bingo grid.
