Hopefully the weather will stay nice this week so you can complete some activities for me. I thought that you would be expecting to have your SPORTS DAY at this time of the year. So I have thought up 10 different activities for you to attempt and record your scores (they are in the word document above named 'Virtual Sports Day'). After you have tried all of the activities email them in to the school with your school-house name. When I have all the results I will work out all the scores and see which house wins!

We thought it might be a good idea to put the link on our class pages to encourage reading now and through the summer. You can join as a Home and there are links for online books. So why not get started now??
Get plenty of exercise and fresh air. Keep being helpful around the house doing some chores.

As I explained on Friday, all the work that you have been doing based on this text is leading towards this week's work, where you will be planning and writing your own wishing story.
Today's work: Page 22 - What happens in your wishing story? Plan out these ideas (Talk4writing Batch 3 below this message)

What kinds of extreme weather can you think of? Read through the information on the slides about different types of extreme weather, such as tropical storms, tornadoes, blizzards, etc.
Which of these types of extreme weather have you ever experienced? What was it like?

Welcome to tremendous Thursday children. I hope you are all ready for a rainy day though, the forecast says raining 9:00 - 20:00, sounds like it will be wet. I hope you are all finishing off your buddy letters if you have not already sent them in.
I have had some lovely work sent through to me today which has been wonderful to see. Day 4 of Refugee Awareness week I am asking you to look for your climate justice hero.
Day 4:
Thank your climate justice hero.
In 2019, nearly 25 million people were internally displaced by disasters, if big changes are not made there could be nearly 3 billion people living in places that are too hot for humans by 2070. I would like you to celebrate people around the world, in your community or people you know who are caring for our environment and fighting for the future.
It could be a climate activist (Greta Thunberg or Sir David Attenborough) or someone looking after nature in your community. This is your chance to draw a picture of the work that they have completed or inspired or share something that they have written or said.
I hope you have a brilliant day and try to get some fresh air even though it is rainy. I have also attached a photo of my sunflower seeds growing (along with Echo, who really wanted to be in the picture). I hope your sunflowers are being looked after and growing nicely.
Mr Galpin
Echo insisted she was in the photo along with my sunflowers
Tuesday 16th June
Good morning Year 5! Hope you are bright-eyed and bushy tailed this morning. What a beautiful sunny day it was yesterday - hope you managed to spend sometime outside.
Today's tasks:
Maths - Week 8 - lesson 1 - Understand percentages. You will find the worksheets (including the answers) below today's message, as well as the video link. You can either print off the worksheets and write on them or record you answers in your homework book or on paper.

Geography - To find out about the water cycle and the distribution of water across the world. Read through all the slides on the presentation (saved below 'Extreme Earth Geography Slide 2)
Where does rain come from? All the water in the world rises from the Earth’s surface and falls back to the ground in a continuous cycle which is driven by the sun’s energy. Look at the diagram of the water cycle on the slides. Can you explain what is happening in this diagram?
The river has completely dried up because it hasn’t rained here for months. Why do some places get more rain than others? Do you know what a drought is? What do you think causes a drought? Go through the information on the slides about natural and human causes of drought, and the effects of droughts on the environment.
Using worksheet 2A, (saved below 'Extreme Earth Geography Work 2A ) your task today is to complete the labels for the illustration of the water cycle, then answer the questions about droughts.
Get some fresh air and do some exercise today.
Check on your sunflower seeds/ plants - they may need some water. Any photos yet? I would love to see how they are progressing.
Have a great day, remembering to wash your hands regularly and stay safe.
Mrs. Holroyd
Good morning Year 5! I hope you had a lovely weekend and have managed to dodge the thunder storms. Although I do enjoy the sight of lightning, especially against the dark night skies.
I had mentioned that I would show you some photos of the bird nest that I built on Friday however, due to some technical difficulties I was not able to. I have added them today for you to see. I hope some of you had a go at building a nest, I found it quite challenging.
As it is Refugee Awareness week I have got a small task each day for you. I will put them here for you to see and complete through the week however, I did not manage to put yesterday's task on so I will be leaving two for you to complete today:
Day 1:
Watch the short BBC teach videos video 1 and video 2. Then can you research what is a refugee? What is an asylum seeker? What is the difference?
Day 2:
Think about how a refugee might feel about moving into a local community nearby. Reflect on the languages that might be spoken by refugees, and then think of how easy it would be to pick up the British language.
Then design a poster (size of your choice) with ‘WELCOME’ in as many languages as you can think of. There are some examples and ideas for you to look at below. (Picture C/o Pintrest & Day Of Welcome Toolkit).
I hope you have a wonderful day and that you are looking after your sunflowers.

Write in full sentences using interesting vocabulary, different sentences structures and openers.
Remember - this is your introduction to your buddy about you and our school, and their parents will be reading this letter to them. When you have written it, if possible ask an adult if they can check it for spelling and punctuation mistakes and to check it makes sense. You will then need to type it into neat. And of course, don't forget to write your name at the end!
You will need to send it to the school office for my attention. It will be forwarded to me so I can check it, then I will email it back to the office where it will be printed off onto some lovely coloured paper.
5 children have already sent theirs to me, so those children have some free time this morning!!

Good morning Year 5! I hope you have had a fantastic weekend enjoying the sun yesterday afternoon. I would like you to focus on making sure that your letter for your 'buddy' gets completed. Well done to those who have already completed and sent in your letter.
Today I will ask you to look at some interesting questions that you can decide how you would answer. There are 5 questions to look at, think about and discuss with a family member. Have a look at the RE below and this will explain everything.
I have also taken a few photos of how my sunflower seeds are doing as well, just to keep you updated.
Hope you have a lovely day and try to get your buddy letters written up. There's lots to say and lots of information to give to your 'buddy'.
