Year 5 – Friday 27th March

Good Morning Year 5!

We hope you are well, can you believe it is Friday already?! That’s our first full week of home learning done. Make sure over the weekend you enjoy the sunshine before it hides away next week (or so the weatherman says).

Did anyone listen to the David Walliams link that we put on here yesterday which was Trish the Troll? If you didn’t manage to listen yesterday but would like to, click on the link after 11am for the next short story – https://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses/ .

We would like to say a massive well done for all of your hard work so far. We are incredibly proud of you and wanted to share some of the fantastic photos of work we have received so far. If yours isn’t here, please don’t think we haven’t seen it, we just couldn’t put all of them on. Keep sending them in and maybe you will see yours up here one other day.

We hope you continue to stay active, maybe using Joe Wicks, going for walks or playing in the garden. Have a fantastic weekend and stay safe,

Year 5 Team

Helpful Reminders

Email Presentation Too much to do?

Don’t forget you can email us on year5@stmarksce.org.uk. We would love to hear from you if you have a question, need a password, need some help, want to show us your work or even just say hello! Please get your grown up’s permission before you email us. We look forward to hearing from you. We may not reply the same day!

Presentation – Please remember to do your very best work. Handwriting and presentation are as important at home as they are in school. You can complete your work in a book or if you need lined or squared paper you can get it here.

Note for parents: Hopefully your children will enjoy working through these activities and can do independently. We completely understand it may be difficult to complete all these tasks due to other family commitments or you are working from home, so please do not worry; complete what you can with your child.

Topic

Today you are going to be researching a European Capital City of your choice, other than Prague, Vienna, Amsterdam or Paris as we have already looked at these together.

We would like to research:

Famous landmarks
Population
History
Interesting facts

Once you have researched these things, make a poster informing others about the city. You can choose whether to make this on the computer or by hand (example below). Then please send a photo or copy of them to year5@stmarksce.org,uk so that we can share them in our posts, so that other children in the year group can learn about these cities.
