Happy Friday

Year 5!

🙂

Today, we are catching up on the week’s work. If you have no catching up to do, which is a few of us, then you can make a start on the theme homework. This includes Clio (see above) who is already on chapter 6! Try to stay near your computers in the morning and Mrs. Devaney and I will be contacting as many of you as we can to help you with any issues you have getting to the homework.

Theme

Your task is to choose a European landmark and do some research on it. It could be a famous building like Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, or a monument, like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

Neuschwanstein Castle (Clio’s choice – she says old castles are full of mice)

The Arc de Triomphe

You could use one of the landmarks we looked at together, or you could choose your own. If you’re not sure about your choice, message me first before you start work on it.

You should include this information:

Where is your landmark located?

A picture of your landmark

The history of your landmark: when, why, how was it built? etc

Why would anyone visit your chosen landmark?

How popular is it, as a tourist destination?

What can people do there when they visit?

European Landmarks

Go to J2homework or Teams for your research factfile page.

Good morning

everyone!

🙂

Everybody try to work on teams today, both Maths and English. I’ve put it here on J2Homework just in case you need it. There will only be theme work tomorrow and no Teams group meetings tomorrow. Instead, Mrs. Devaney and I will be calling people who are struggling to work on Teams and giving them some help with it. See you later!

Hello Year 5!

🙂

There was some excellent work done yesterday year 5! Today, during our Teams session we’re all going to do our Maths and English work using Teams, so that I can mark it. Have a go before class starts. If you haven’t already, make sure you finish Chapter 3 before class. We were especially impressed by Fatoumata who wrote the words not numbers on her English worksheet. 🙂

Maths Homework

From today we will be using the White Rose Maths Sheets that go with the videos. You can find them in J2homework and on Teams.

English

For Chapter 4, we need to find out about the Shipping Forecast.  This is a special weather report that goes out everyday especially for ships at sea. You can only hear it if you get up super early, at 5:20 on BBC Radio 4.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04l37bp

 

The Shipping Forecast uses this special map, which divides the sea around Britain into 31 areas. They all have very interesting names. After you’ve watched the video, you can find out more about them by clicking on the map and scrolling down.

Good morning all!

English Homework Help

Well done everyone who managed to get their work yesterday, and especially to Taym,  Danayi and Corwyn, who managed to complete theirs on Teams. Today will be the same as yesterday. I will put Maths and English on J2Homework but I will also put the same English on Teams for those who want a challenge.

Happy Monday

Year 5!

🙂

I hope you all had a fab weekend and you’re ready for the online lessons this week. There are two today. The first at 10:00 and the second at 12:30. Check your email to find out which group you are in. See you soon! (If you have headphones, I recommend using them for the online lesson)

Just like last week, go to J2Homework for your Maths and English Work.

Friday 8th January, 2021

 

Good morning all!

🙂

Well done everyone who managed to get some work done yesterday, which was most of us. If you didn’t see this video yesterday, please make sure you watch it now. It’s important that we all do our homework using the same programme and save it the same way, otherwise, I won’t be able to find your work.

 

 

Learning Timetable

Next week, Monday to Friday, Year 5 will have 3 slots per day for online classes:

1 – 10:00 to 10:25

2 – 12:30 to 12:55

3 – 2:00 to 2:25

We will start with 10 children per group and see how that works. I’ll be sending out an email later letting you know who is in each group.

 

 

Also, please make sure you are logged on to Teams this morning. From Monday, we will be using this for online lessons, so we need to get used to how it works. You can find it on your BGFL launch page or you may have it installed on your laptop:

 

Here are the points so far. Some of us have done some great work which should be up here but I can’t find it or read it properly because it’s in the wrong place, so please make sure you watch the video before you start and be sure to save your work. 🙂

 

Now head to J2Homework for the maths task or click on the links here:

Multiplication and Division 3 – Multiply 4-digits by 1-digit

And the English task:

You can download the chapter here to use with the questions or you can just use the video. Now, back to J2homework for the English task.

Happy

New Year everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful, blessed Christmas and New Year. I thought we should start with a bit of a dance. 🙂 There is also something about this video that will feature in our class English book this term. I wonder who will spot it when it comes up.

Happy Epiphany and a happy 2021 Year 5!

It’s 2021!! 2020 has finished and we can soon look forward to life getting back to normal. We just have a few more months of being super careful with our hand washing and social distancing to keep everyone safe. Many of you will know that yesterday was the feast of the Epiphany. This is very relevant for year 5, as you acted it out so wonderfully in the nativity play – the Epiphany was when the Magi visited the baby Jesus.

We are changing the way we are working this time. All the work you need to do will be on J2Homework. You can find it on your BGFL page. It looks like this:

In here, you’ll find two pieces of work for today – one for Maths and one for English. Next week, there will be theme work everyday as well but we are going to start off slowly. The due date for both pieces of work is tomorrow, but make sure you do them today because there will be more work for tomorrow. 🙂

Both pieces of homework today have two pages. To get to the second page you will need to go to the top right hand corner and click on the page turner which looks like this:

Our book this term is The London Eye Mystery by Siobhan Dowd.  Some of you  have probably heard of the London Eye, or you might have even been on it!? To begin, here is a video of the London Eye being lifted into position in 1999 ready for the millennium celebrations. 

Now have a look at your English work in J2Homework.

Finally for today, as we are not in the school building, we are going to keep our table groups the same for a while longer. Points will go out for online work and there will be weekly prizes for the winning teams. Have fun, and see you tomorrow, make sure you email me if you have any questions. 🙂
