Year 5 Home Learning Thursday 14th May – Day 28

Dear Parents and Year 5’s,

The engagement of year 5 home learning has been amazing so far!

Please bear in mind the following:

  • These activities are a guide for what you might work through with as a year 5 child.
  • You may wish to complete additional work using the links provided on the school website or suggestions on the NJS Home Learning information page in the Home Learning books.
  • If the activities provided are too challenging or too much for your child, please adapt the work or amount that you do. There is no obligation to complete every activity set each day. Sometimes the tasks may take too long – don’t feel as though you have to complete them all that day, you can always catch up tomorrow! Likewise some of the tasks set are designed to be completed across the week – we have tried our best to emphasise this on the slides!
  • TTRS and learning off by heart times-tables, general reading, spelling patterns previously sent home are all also very important – these can be completed across the week to suit.

All three teachers are looking forward to seeing your work – please feel free to email any work you have completed to us so we can look at it. Also let us know if you would like any work sharing as we can publish it on our school website (the year 5 page) so other children in the year group can see what you have completed.

Make the most of this extra time at home to enjoy and learn things you wouldn’t normally have time for.

Stay safe and keep smiling!

Love Miss H, Mr M and Mr L x

Chocolate challenge

A couple weeks ago at the start of our chocolate challenge I gave any willing volunteers a task to complete around chocolate.

I asked them to research the manufacturing of chocolate from ‘Bean to Bar’. They were then asked to make a story board to demonstrate the processes.

The participation from all years was brilliant! It was a difficult decision to find the best from year 3 / 4 and year 5 / 6. I did manage this, and I focused  on the fantastic use of technical vocabulary.

I am happy to announce the winners of the challenge and their own height in chocolate are.

Congratulations to all who participated!!!

 

 

Chocolate Manufacturing challenge

Chocolate challenge week. Lets make sure we know where it comes from!

I have announced today that all pupils can compete in a competition to help understand the manufacturing (making) process involved around chocolate.

I would like children to research the process involved, which turns a cocoa bean into the wonderful thing that is a chocolate bar.

With this information I would like a story board completed showing the process in picture form as well as a description of what is happening.

All information is on the story board sheet.

There is a prize for the best from year 3 and 4 and the best from year 5 and 6. each winner will receive their height in chocolate!!!

Please ( follow link below) print or collect the story board sheets from Mr Lawson and return to his classroom by next Monday (9th).

I can not wait to see these exciting story boards.
