Try to keep reading for at least twenty minutes per day – to yourself, your mum, dad, teddy or pets. It could be in two, 10 minute sessions. Keep reading anything and everything. If you have run out of your own books to read there is a fab online library of eBooks to read on https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/ Just register on the website, log in and choose what you want to read.
There is new content on BBC Bitesize, with three lessons each day: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize and Oak National Academy (ONA), also with three lessons each day: https://www.thenational.academy/ There’s also White Rose: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/ if you are wanting more. We will be linking some of these lessons in activities we set too.
Each Monday, we will also upload a set of spellings for you to practise over the course of the week. Then on Friday, see if you can write them out without looking at them. Someone could test you if you want.

24 April 2020: Home Learning
Hi everyone
Well done on almost finishing your first week back at ‘school’. I’ve spoken to loads of people this week and they all said they had enjoyed getting back into the routine of learning from home. If you haven’t already, make sure you check out the following pages from our school website:
Our class news page has some video messages from teachers and the most recent entrants into the Hall of (home learning) Fame #HoHLF.
The latest news section of our website has a daily update from Mr Roundtree that contains loads of useful tips and information.
On Wednesday, we prompted you to check out BBC Bitesize. If you haven’t, make sure you do. They have loads of great resources including some daily lessons across a range of subjects. We think they’re really useful to supplement our home learning tasks.
Here’s your home learning for today…
Y5 maths task

Pond = approximately 9m²
Starter
Challenge yourself on Times Table Rockstars!
Your learning today is area.

Send some photos to your teacher to show us your amazing islands!

Your learning today is arithmetic.
Are you arithmetic skills still sharp? Answer these in your exercise book.
Y5/6 reading task
Your reading today is a little bit different! As you all know, we’re living through something that will go down in history for our children and children’s children to learn about!
Today’s task is to create a time capsule to record a snapshot of what is happening at the minute, how people are feeling and what we’re all getting up to in these strange times. The idea is that you bury or keep your time capsule somewhere hidden and then dig it up or look through it again in a number of years eg 2030, a decade after this famous year.
First, you must read this ‘How To’ guide.
Finally, click here to see what the time capsule could look like. Feel free to print this one (don’t worry if you can’t), copy some of the things down into your home learning book, or change or adapt it to create your own. It’d be great to complete this with your family so everybody’s feelings and thoughts are captured!
Challenge
Improve your time capsule by adding in other objects such as photos, games or a newspaper! You could even make your own box (although an old shoe box works just fine).
Y5/6 writing task
Watch the videos about top tips for writing short stories. Choose one or two tips to help improve your story about Alice from yesterday. Rewrite a paragraph or even the whole story based on the top tips.
Evaluate your writing – you don’t even need to use a purple pen. What did you change? What impact did it have? How have you made it even more exciting?
