Shakespeare Research

Some great examples of the Shakespeare research completed ahead of studying Twelfth Night.

Friday, 6 September 2019

This week in Year Five we've had loads of fun! We sketched birds as pretty as a picture and had a competition to see which group could build the highest self-standing tower out of colourful Lego. All the classes had fun trying out cup stacking, and we learnt how to make a curve out of straight lines. We've also had fun reading Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Lastly, we did some GoNoodle, and that got us up and moving. The first week in Year Five has been absolutely amazing!

Autumn Home Learning Information for Year Five

This coming year, the home learning expectations are as follows:

Each week, there will be either a written or online (TTRs/MyMaths) task set. These will link to End of Key Stage Expectations for arithmetic or reasoning. (20 minutes)

Weekly, we will set a grammar and punctuation activity to consolidate our work in class. (20 minutes)

In school, we have a weekly focus on learning and practising a spelling rule. A list of spellings to learn that follow the week's rule will be provided. (20 minutes)

Children should read on a daily basis. Renaissance Home Connect enables parents to see information about your child's progress within Accelerated Reader.

Home learning will be set on a Thursday and will be due in the following Tuesday. Home learning will begin on Thursday 12th September.

Anyone unable to access the internet at home can do so during a Friday or Monday lunchtime in school.

Class teachers will let their class know the day of the week spelling tests will take place.
