Week 12 - Home Learning - Rowan Class Blog

Hi Rowan Class!

I hope you are all keeping well and have had a good week.

Last week’s ‘Star of the Week’ certificate was awarded to Olly for an excellent attitude and application to his maths work this week. Well done, Olly!

This week for Home Learning, there is again a mixture of work to complete as some of you Year 5s will be returning to school on Wednesday, you will need to check carefully what you need to complete if this is you. If you are returning to school, you have English and Maths tasks to complete but nothing to submit. For those of you who are not returning to school, you have English, Maths and Science work to complete. I will be asking you to submit your Science findings. Remember, if you need help with ANY of your Home Learning tasks or have ANY queries, just send me an email using your school360 email account. I do enjoy hearing from you and I am always here to help! My email address is: jacqueline.oconnell1@school360.co.uk (don’t forget the ‘1’!).

As always, I have explained below each of your tasks for this week and then the resources you need are either in your work packs or attached at the bottom of the page.

Have a great week and take care,

Mrs O’Connell

Work to submit this week:

This week, I would like you to submit your Science work about the effect of exercise on your pulse rate by Monday 6th July.  I will then provide each of you with some personal feedback. Please send your work to me where possible, using your School360 email address.

Reading Activities:

To complete the reading activities, you will need your Home Learning booklet as you will be reading Chapter Nine of Goodnight Mister Tom and then completing activities based on this. At the bottom of the blog, there are two reading PowerPoints that will take you through step-by-step what you need to do.

Writing Activities:

You are going to write a recount of a memory of a favourite birthday. At the bottom of the blog, there are two PowerPoints that again take you through what you need to do.

Year 5s who have access to Reading Plus, please remember that you should be completing 5 activities on it per week.

Year 5 Spelling Tasks:

Year 5 have been set up with an online spelling programme, where your spellings are broken up into syllables and there are lots of games for you to practise before you complete your test online. You have each been given a username and password (in your new packs). You can practise by playing the games as many times as you want. Remember, you MUST take the test before Monday 6th July.

Year 6 (not returning to school) Spelling Tasks:

Please look up the definitions of the following words and then write a sentence using each word, correctly and in context:

Occur

It would be great if someone could then test you on your spellings each week. Remember to keep a record of your scores and challenge yourself to do the best you can!
