Miss Pococks Year 5 Class: May 2020

A Message for Y5/6

Hello Y5/6,

I hope you’re all well and keeping busy.

Lots of you have been doing your work online and it’s been great to see it – well done. Some of you have told me that you’ve been doing the work in your book so I’m looking forward to seeing that when we’re back in school. I’m so pleased with the effort that many of you are putting in to doing your work. We know it’s difficult for you to do this at home but keep at it because it’s really important for you to practise these skills.

There will be no work put online for you next week (25th May) because it’s half term. Take the time to relax and hopefully go outside in the sunshine for some lovely walks with your family.

After half term, we will continue to post homework grids here on the school blog (remember to look on your maths teacher’s page for your maths homework grid). This work will also be put on our class account each day on Google for Education on Hwb (lots of you are already using this).

Log on to Hwb.

Click Google for Education.

Click on our class account DW 2019 5/6.

To find your work, click on Classwork.

For most of the activities you can choose to do them either in your book or type them on j2e5 or in a document on our class account on Google for Education on Hwb.

If you do work on the computer, to hand it in on our class account follow Tayla’s instructions:

To hand work in as a document and not in the comments you need to click on 'Add or Create' on the right hand side of the assignment. You can create a new document here and then when it is finished you click 'Hand In' and the work gets submitted.

If you do this I will be able to see your work and respond to it.

If you want some extra things to do I upload the latest edition of First News each week on our class account on Hwb and there are activities to go with this. You can also try out any lesson on My Maths, even if it hasn’t been set for you by your maths teacher. Also, BBC Bitesize is posting daily lessons in different subjects for each year group:

Don’t forget about the ‘Daily 5’ at the top of the grid - reading, maths practice, keep fit, being creative and celebrating something you have done well. There are some ideas for these below.

You have all been given your HWB and My Maths user names and passwords, but if you are having difficulty please e-mail me on maesycoedprimary82@gmail.com

I miss you all very much and hope to see you soon. In the meantime, do fun things, keep smiling and be kind to your family.
