Hello Year 5!

We hope you and your families are well, we are thinking about you every single day. We know that this isn’t an easy time but we also know you have worked so hard this year, so we’re putting together some activities for you to do every week.

It would be great to see you complete these so why don’t you send us some of your work over on your Class Dojo account and we can reply to your fantastic work. It doesn’t just have to be your home learning that we see; why don’t you send us some photos of things you’re getting up to, too?

Our online learning will be similar to how we complete it at school in our lessons, using our traffic light challenge (red = beginner, yellow = intermediate, green = expert) so why don’t you push yourself and see what you can do? If you are worrying about not having a printer, you could grab an old notebook and copy the work with your answers. It would be great to see what you have done when we get back to school!

Here are some other things you can do to help you too:

• Read a book
• Practise Year 5/6 spellings
• Create your own multiplication and division questions (4 digit by 2 digit)
• Write a story
• Draw a picture
• Research a topic online that you’re passionate about

Key Skills

Within each year group, there are a collection of key skills that your child needs to know and be confident in discussing and demonstrating throughout their learning. The more practice they have learning these skills, the more confident your child will become, not only at this stage but throughout their time at Norfolk.

Please spend time working on these with your child/children. If you feel that they are struggling with these skills look at the previous year group's skills to support any gaps in their learning. Also if they are confident in a specific skill, look at the next year group to see how this skill moves on.
