Hello Year 5 and welcome back to home learning. I do hope that you're all keeping well and that you've had a relaxing half term holidays. Please see the attached grid for the work for week beginning 22nd February. We are still continuing our work on the USA and habitats. I do hope you enjoy travelling off to the Americas again.

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

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.
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.
Dear Year 5,
Welcome to another week of home learning. I'm hoping that you and your families are all still well and motivated. This week we are continuing with our mountain theme but it's time to get creative too. Check out our zoom sessions every morning for maths and English sessions and use the afternoon to make a 3D mountain, find out about extreme animals and look after your mental health.
I look forward to seeing you all on Monday at 9:20
Take good care
Ms McCoy
Here is another resource that you can use to help you enjoy the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch this weekend. It includes instructions on how to make homemade bird food and feeders, a link to help you record your results and a link to a live webcam where you can see and have a go at identifying the birds as they visit the feeders.
I really hope that you enjoy taking part in the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch!
