Welcome to London Bridge Class

Class Teacher: Miss S. Winser (Howard’s Curriculum Lead)

Teaching Assistant: Mrs R. Verma

Homework:

Handed out on Fridays,

Returned by Wednesday,

Please remember that homework is an important building stone in the child’s learning and development. The children will receive Dojo-Points for completed homework as well as particularly outstanding contributions.

Daily Reading:

To help further develop the children’s reading and academic development, please support and encourage the children to read daily for at least 10 minutes. This daily reading should then be recorded (title + pages) in the Learning Diary. We would kindly ask parents to sign/initial the record.

The children will receive Dojo-Points for daily reading.

Recommended reading books for Year 5:

Best Books for Year 5 | Ages 9-10 | BooksForTopics

Expertly selected books for 9 and 10 year old children (lovereading4kids.co.uk)

Reading Activities:

Once the children have completed reading a book, they then choose an activity related to the book (e.g. book-review, letter to the author, sequel, character profile, alternative cover etc.). This activity is completed in the child’s Reading Journal. Our wonderful teaching assistants will then check, feedback and record the completion of these activities.

The children will receive multiple Dojo-Points to reward exceptional work.

PE:

Our current P.E. days are Tuesday and Wednesday with Miss Handley.

The last full week of June – 22nd June 2020

June 21, 2020

Welcome to week four of the 2nd Summer Half-term.

Shock-Horror. From now on, the days are getting shorter again since we had our Summer Solstice on Saturday.

The week ahead is pretty normal and since we are in school at least every other day, the lessons should again be much lighter, just like last week. This also means that our responses to Class-Dojo will not be quite as instant.

Have a wonderful week, the last full one before July begins.

Enjoy your learning.

Year 5 – 3rd week – 15th June 2020

June 14, 2020

Hello and welcome back to another exciting week of learning.

I can’t believe it is …

Sports Week - Notts TV News | The heart of Nottingham news ...

 

Throughout the week, please make sure that you cover a range of activities which can be found here:

For each activity, the children have 60 seconds to complete as many reps of the activity as they can. The aim of the week is to beat your personal best. The .pdf documents that explain the activities have Bronze, Silver and Gold targets for you to get to. There is a corresponding section on the tracking sheet to tick off which level/medal you have achieve the Bronze, Silver and Gold.

Furthermore, the tracking sheet also includes extra daily challenges for you to choose from. I can’t believe it, but on Thursday there is an opportunity to dress up as your favourite character whilst practising.

Have fun.

With regards to our learning, during the next weeks, things here will be slightly different as we are partially going back to school and are therefore more limited with our time. You will notice that there are some contents for the next days already, but please stick to the days like we did in the past. Also, in Maths we are going to switch to using the fabulous lessons from the “National Academy“ (Oak), so you simply watch/follow their lessons and complete the tasks set in those lessons.

In Science, due to the fact that we are not in school together, we have decided to move the topic “Animals and Humans“ into the next school year. This is needed, because the topic is connected with PSHE which we need to teach in person, but cannot do at the moment.

Anything else should be “business as usual“.

As the timetable is quite light, please make sure to complete the “Virtual Sportsweek“ challenges on a daily basis.

Enjoy your learning.
