Good Morning Y5/6,

Remember if you need anything just send me a message in the classwork area of Google Classroom or parents can email through enquiries@stwilfridssheffield.co.uk

Here is some work for this week. Work through things at your own pace and remember to spend time doing things that make you feel happy as well as getting plenty of exercise.

All work is on Google Classroom with full instructions. To make it easy to keep track of work completed, ‘hand in’ the work on the classwork area.

Good Morning Y5/6,

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend and spent time doing something that makes you feel happy.

Y5 maths: This week’s focus is area and perimeter. There are 4 MyMaths activities for you to complete.

White Rose Maths challenges (Q1&2, then see if you can do 3, 4, 5 and 6).

English: VE Day reading comprehension (Google Classroom), Direct Speech (Google Classroom) and a write a short character description.

Remember to keep going with daily exercise. If you want to try something different have a look at the resources page for some suggestions.

Please keep up with your daily reading and TTRS. Times Table knowledge is really important for speedy maths. Try to read aloud several times per week as well as reading to yourself for fun.

Have a wonderful week superstars!

Stay safe and keep smiling,

Well kind of! I hope you have all had a lovely 2 weeks break and spent lots of time outdoors and with your family (even if it is only virtually!) I have missed speaking with you all and can’t wait to catch up with what you have all been up to. The stream on Google classroom has now been turned back on so please let me know if you need anything. Parents can also email enquiries@stwilfridssheffield.co.uk with any questions or to keep me informed of how things are at home.

This week I have set up various tasks on Google Classroom. I know many of you will have different ways of working, so if you are finding it hard to keep up or need a bit of support in anything just get in touch- I am here to help. Remember this work is for the whole of this week, so please pace yourself.

This week’s work:

Y5 maths

MyMaths activities – More written methods and More addition and subtraction. For some of you I have added a couple of extra activities to remind you about column addition and subtraction (this is not for everyone and is not expected, just an extra bit of support if you would like to use it).

Arithmetic 3 on Google Classroom

White Rose Maths Challenges on Google Classroom. There are lots there but I would like you to have a go at Challenge 1 and Challenge 2.

English (all on Google Classroom)

Reading comprehension A trillion Tropical Leaves

Reading comprehension Best Footballer

Relative clauses (revision guides and worksheet)

Descriptive writing task – write one paragraph describing the setting of the picture

Wider Curriculum Project

The Alps Presentation: Before Christmas we were learning about The Alps. Use the BBC website, your own knowledge and your own research to create a presentation all about The Alps. There is some guidance on Google Classroom to help.

Other 

Remember to keep on with daily reading and regularly visit TTRS to revise your timestable knowledge. Those with Lexia logins should continue to use this for 20 mins 4 x week (or daily if you can!)

PE

Make sure you are doing some physical exercise each day. You might like to go for a walk, join Joe Wicks, Just Dance (my new favourite thing!), playing outside or anything else you can think of. Perhaps you could encourage everyone in your family to take part.

As always, stay safe and keep smiling!

I just want to say I am so proud and impressed by the way you have all adapted to these unusual times. Everyone has been working so hard and been so supportive of each other. Well done.

Over the Easter break, I will not be uploading any work to the blog or Google Classroom. I have shared some ideas of things that could be done during this time to keep you busy in the classwork area of the classroom. There is also the Resources page on the blog with lots of links to other websites which might be useful. There is no expectation for any of these things to be completed. For some it is helpful to continue with a routine and for others it would be good to have a break- this is entirely dependent on your circumstances. It is, however,  important to continue with reading daily.

If you have any urgent information, queries or safeguarding concerns, please email Mrs Evans d.evans@stwilfridssheffield.co.uk

I hope you all have a safe and happy Easter,

Miss Cheetham xx

Here are the links to our Liturgy.

Good Morning Y5/6,

Here is this week’s work. I have separated into suggested days but feel free to mix it up! I haven’t included Friday as it is Good Friday but the art activity and the Easter quiz might be nice if you wanted to spread things out.

Please let me know if you would like to be part of the Holy Week liturgies, so I can let you know what to do. These will need to be completed Monday/Tuesday so I can send them on for editing!

This week’s project

Write the Easter Story in your own words. There are resources to help you on Google Classroom. I am looking for you to use your best writing skills, think about good punctuation skills and I would like to see some impressive description. There is a basic Google Slides to help you structure your story, but you can change/adapt this or even start from scratch – it is totally up to you! After reading your great stories 2 weeks ago, I’m really looking forward to reading them.

Stay safe and keep smiling,

Today is Palm Sunday and marks the beginning of Holy Week.  With the reality of not being able to physically spend this time together as a parish and school community, we would like to still bring everyone together as best we can online.  We have a plan for every child who wishes to, to contribute to a liturgy by either pre-recording a reading, or making a picture.  We will then share this with the whole community on Maundy Thursday and Easter Sunday.   If you would like your child to be a part of this, please let Miss Cheetham know on Google Classroom or via email and you will be given further instructions. Most children will be asked to create a picture to be used, this will be specified depending on the number of children who wish to be involved. 

Please note that the video or image that is submitted will be published online, including social media, as part of the Holy Week liturgy for St Wilfrid’s and St Thomas of Canterbury Schools.  By sharing any media, you are consenting for this to be used in this way.  

If you would like to take part, please email Miss Cheetham by Monday lunchtime so I can give further instructions.

Have a lovely day,

Miss Cheetham
