Year 5 – Week 6
01.06.2020 

To Year 5,

Maths

We will be using White Rose Maths to look at fractions this week. It will involve multiplying fractions including mixed numbers. Remember only do what you can. If you are finding any work particularly hard, you can always look at the resources for this week.

Literacy

Following positive feedback from parents and children alike, we are switching to using the BBC Bitesize literacy lessons. There will be a video or videos to watch and 2-3 activities for your child to complete. In some cases there is a sheet that you can print off (we are unable to do this in school as the daily lessons are not available in advance).

Please complete the daily lessons – follow the instructions on the Home Learning page below to access this website.

Other Subjects
This week is Geography Week at Pixmore, where we will also be launching a whole school project about Ernest Shackleton and his expedition to Antarctica.

You will find a whole school topic grid with activities for you to choose from. These range from science experiments, art, research and writing opportunities.

We would like you to choose at least 3 of these activities to complete over the course of this week, one of which needs to be a writing activity.

We’d love to see what you’ve been doing and are aiming to make some whole school displays with the work you all do on Shackleton over the next few weeks, so please send in your work to your Seesaw account or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

A typical day may include…

• Completing a task from BBC Bitesize website.
• Completing a lesson of Maths using the White Rose website.

• Completing one task from the Geography week grid.

We understand that these are extremely, hard times and if you need any further help and support please do get in touch. If the work is too hard, or there is too much, then only complete a manageable amount. If you need printed copies of anything, these can be made available for collection (please let the school know).

We continue to be very proud of you all and miss your lovely smiling faces each day! Remember to look after your mental wellbeing - this always comes first! Stay positive, have fun and just try your best. Never forget – you are fantastic! Well done Year 5!

Sending our very best wishes to you and your families,

Miss Rolfe, Mrs Johnson, Mrs Inman, Mrs Matthews, Mrs Glatzhofer and Miss Hammett
