Year 5
During the day, we recommend that you focus on these activities. We have added some suggested times to give you an idea about how long each activity should take. Teachers will be updating this page daily to support children to continue their learning at home. Further information for each of the daily activities can be found below.

Class Dojo
Class Dojo is a place where teachers, parents and students can communicate. It allows parents and children to ask the teachers questions if they are confused about something and for teachers to send out messages to the whole class with ideas and support. There are still several parents from both Sycamore and Walnut that have not yet signed up to this service. I do not want you to feel pressured but it will allow you to contact us easily if you need anything or have any questions.
The login details can be found in your child's new learning at home book. If you are having trouble logging on please contact the school and we will help you get started.
Unfortunately you will need to do this for each child as each class has a separate dojo. Please do not feel this means you have to follow the work we are providing. Class Dojo is purely a way to keep in touch and for you to see any work your child has shared with us. It is not a social media site and so you will not get bombarded with messages and adverts.

Big Write- Diary Entry
Today is Big Write Day! Use the planning you did yesterday to write your diary entry. Write a diary entry as if you were living a day in the Ancient Egyptian times. Use the toolkit to help you to include the right features. Aim to write for about 45 minutes and then spend 15 minutes re-reading and editing your work. READ WHAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN and not what you think you have written.

Times Tables

Chant
Recite your times tables by saying them in a whisper, in a funny voice, slowly and quickly.
From now on, you have been set a weekly challenge to complete 10 games on TT Rockstars. From this, we will be able to see top scorers in each class for number games completed (it may be more than 10), best accuracy and quickest speed. We will let you know the winners later on today. |

Reading
|
Please see the ‘Generic Reading to do at home’ link on the ‘Home Learning March 2020’ page on the school website to choose a book for your daily reading.
You will be set a new Accelerated Reader target for this term. The current situation will be taken into consideration and targets will be made accordingly. If you want to adjust your target so it is more challenging, contact your teacher via Dojo.
Reading Challenge: Make a list of 5 two syllable words, 3 three syllable words and 2 four syllable words from your book.
Chapters of The Secret Garden (our Year 5 read) will continue to be uploaded, so make sure you keep up-to-date. Treat this like the last 15 minutes of the school day when we share our class read. |

Enjoy the Great Outdoors
Go for a walk or a bike ride with your family. You might like to make a note/ take pictures of any nature you notice on the way. There are lots of butterflies to look out for at the moment- how many different types can you find? |

Afternoon Activities

Colouring
See the PDF with Egyptian Gods to colour. Sometimes, it is nice just to sit in the sun (or inside) and colour in. If you can’t print them, have a go at drawing them yourself. (Egyptian Gods Colouring PDF) |
