Home School Learning - WC 18th May 2020

Hello everyone,

We hope you and your families are all well. Mr Loxham and I have been busy planning some more lovely work for you all.  This will be the last week of Summer Term 1 as next week is half term so you won't have any work set for you to do!

Have a lovely week, the weather is set to get better again, so get your school work done early in the say and enjoy the sunshine!

From 

Mrs Smith

Below is the work we have set for the coming week.

Remember to choose work that you are comfortable with, don't stress too much about it. Our intention is for you to be able to learn, and most of all TO STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY!

Don't forget to make sure you have emailed your teacher by Wednesday morning so we know you and your family are ok!

Mr Loxham & Mrs Smith

Hi Year 5,

I have chosen two books that I think you would like to hear in class. They are both in our school library and I think you will have a hard time choosing which one you want to carry on hearing. You can listen to them by clicking on the links below.

Let me know on the Purple Mash blog which one you'd like to hear more of and I'll post the next chapter! 

I hope you like them. The books are:

Once by Morris Gleitzman

The Boy at the Back of the Class by Onjali Q.Rauf

The documents below are designed to help children come to terms with their feelings during these uncertain times.

Please feel free to use them, they are very child friendly and could be very useful to understand how your child is feeling under these changed circumstances.

MUSIC

The Easter sing-a-long and future fortnightly songs with activities will now be in the Singing for All area of the website so head there for new songs and matching activities fortnightly.

As well as these songs we are also going to be offering you some music tuition from our skilled music providers: The Love Music Trust.  These too will be in the Singing for All area of the website.  There is a KS1 session and a KS2 session weekly.

On top of all of that, follow the links for the daily ‘Big Sing’ that will also be provided for you by The Love Music Trust.

Remember, do as much or as little as you like but singing is good for the soul and something everybody can join in with.

Have fun!

Mrs Gadbury

Don't forget to practise: 'Together'.

Summer Term in Year 5

Well we never expected our Summer Term to begin like this did we?

This term our learning will continue with home learning. Mr Loxham and Mrs Smith will be posting our usual English, Maths and General tasks on a Monday morning.

We would love to hear from more of you using the blog in Purple Mash and don't forget to ask mum or dad to email us once a week so we know how you and your family are doing.

B Flat Band

Year 5 will begin to work on B Flat Band sessions on Fridays.  Special tuition from Mr Eccles, and a new woodwind teacher, Miss Browning, will  enable children to develop their skills on a chosen instrument; reading music and developing their understanding of pitch, tempo, timbre and dynamics.   

Please remember children must take good care of the instruments and bring them in every Friday for the music lesson.  

During the year we will perform concerts for parents and carers. 

​

Swimming 

Swimming sessions will take place every Thursday.  

The arrangements are:

We travel by coach to Macclesfield Leisure Centre for a half hour swimming lesson.

What do I need to bring if I am a girl?  

• A one-piece swimsuit 
• A towel
• A swimming hat (is available at the leisure centre)
• £1.00 for the locker 
• A snack for afterwards.

What do I need to bring if I am a boy?

• Swimming trunks, not surf shorts 
• A towel
• A swimming hat
• £1.00 for the locker
• A snack for afterwards.

We ask for a donation of £2 a week or £24 a term. This goes towards the price of the coach.  Swimming makes you extra hungry so please do not forget a snack on Thursdays!

Mental Maths Milestones 

Each year group has its own mental maths targets which we call the milestones.  It is expected that each child will achieve all their age appropriate milestones as the minimum standard by the end of the school year. Keep this up, especially times tables! Thank you for your support.

Homework will either be linked to mental maths milestones or topics we are covering in class.

Do you know your times tables? Click on the X below for some games to help you improve. 

Homework 

This term Maths and English homework will be given out on a  Friday and is collected in on Wednesday.  Year 5 Spellings will be sent home on a Wednesday and children will be tested on the following Wednesday.  If you have any problems with your homework please talk to your teacher before Tuesday! 

Events 

Here are some useful dates to write in your organiser.
