Welcome back everyone,

We are so looking forward to welcoming you back for face-to-face teaching in school from Monday, the 8th March 2021. Just in case that questions about Monday remain, here are a few key-points:

• Find here is a copy of the letter that was sent out last week about Monday’s re-opening.
  • • • • 8th-March-return-to-School-Letter-01-03-2021
• We start at 9:00 and finish at 15:15.
• The children in Year 5 will enter and leave where the Blue-Flag-Zone is (just like before Christmas really).
• On Tuesdays and Wednesdays we have PE, so children will be required to wear their school PE clothes to school as we are not able to allow changing in the classroom.
• Our Music day stays the Wednesday, when Mr Regan will be leading us through “Sound-Progress“.
• On Friday afternoon, we will give the children 15 min off reward time for good learning and behaviour for learning within the week (Dojo-Points).
• Children need to have their own (chosen) Reading Book for reading during transition and calm phases. These books will also be used for sessions where an adult from class will read with the children.
• Please ensure that all Learning Diaries travel between home and school daily and assist the children in recording their daily reading (Dojo-Points will reward daily reading).
• Homework will be sent out on Fridays for a return on Wednesdays.
• Children who cannot be present in school are required to use Google Classroom and complete as well as submit the work set there. In addition, in case of absences, we will aim to include as many live-links/lessons with the child as possible.

… Pinch-punch first of the month, everybody.

Unbelievable, this is the beginning of the third month of the year and the last week (for now) of our home-learning before we will return to school in one week’s time.

A lot of excitement is waiting for us, particularly on Thursday, when we will be celebrating World-Book-Day. Bring your favourite quote (sentence from a story) to our live-session. We will continue with our daily storytelling and you will finally find out, whether Lila will become a true Firework-Maker.

In Maths as well as Science, we are starting a new topic this week. In Music, we will also try something slightly different this week, before Mr Regan returns on the 10^th March in school. So, we can’t wait to start. Have a look at our timetable below.

See you soon and have a wonderful week,

Miss Winser, Mrs Verma, Mrs Brown & Mr Grundey

Spring is marching our way in big steps.

What signs of Spring have you spotted yet … early sunrises, birds tweeting or nesting, the first pretty flowers, buds on trees and shrubs, bees out foraging …? 

Please find here our timetable for the week ahead.

We can’t wait to see you all back in our live sessions, support drop-ins and storytelling events.

Miss Winser, Mrs Verma, Mrs Brown & Mr Grundey

Unbelievable!!!

The first half-term of this calendar year is nearing its end and we all have learnt so much about learning from the distance. If you are very observant, you will have already spotted the first signs of Spring around as well.

Let’s keep the spirit up and carry it into a new exciting and short week.

On Thursday, we will tell you in more detail what tasks we are preparing for your holidays since no one can go anywhere anyway and you might be searching for things to do and move you forward.

All the best,

Your Year 5 team

We are now starting our 5th week of online learning and every day we are amazed and impressed again and again by your fabulous commitment,

The week ahead has two different foci nationally, it is National Storytelling week as well as Children’s Mental Health week. Both of these aspects are so important in our lives and actually can be linked. So, a few exciting surprises will be waiting for you.

To help us “streamline“ our online learning, from this week on, we would very much like you to assist us by following these two little routines:

1. When you complete an assignment on paper, please tell us. Simply write “Completed on Paper“ after opening the file/document/assignment. Also remember that you can send us your work as a picture like many of you are already doing.
2. Use the “Help-Sessions“ more intensively for questions you have regarding your learning.

Here is our timetable for the week.

We are so grateful for your fabulous work over the last four weeks.

Keep showing us your greatest work and pride.

Your Year 5 adults.

Happy Monday to everyone,

We hope you had a wonderful weekend. There was even a little bit of white decoration falling out of the sky. We hope you enjoyed that. Isn’t it incredible how quickly this January has passed? At the end of the week, we already get to say goodbye to month that is often called “dreadful” by others.

As you know, there is another incredibly exciting week of learning waiting for you. Please check out the time-table below.

When going through the lessons, please make sure to follow the recorded lessons just as precisely as you do with the live-lessons. Pretend you were in class.

Enjoy your learning. We will see each-other in the live and help sessions.

Your Year 5 team

Y5 Timetable Wb 25_01_2021

Dear all,

After this wonderful, sunny day, please have a look at our timetable for the week ahead.

Remember:

• Our daily live-lessons are from 1:15 pm – 13:45 pm.
• On the other days in the morning, the teachers also kindly offer “Drop-in” / Support lessons where you can enter the virtual Google Meet classroom to get some help with your work.
• Regularly visit Google Classroom because assignments will be released as if we had normal lessons – so shortly before the beginning of the lesson.

We are so looking forward to seeing you all in our live-lessons and receiving your fabulous work.

Your Year 5 team.

Dear all,

Well done for your hard work in the first week of “lockdown”.
Please continue with a great focus and fantastic contributions. Have a look at the timetable for the week ahead.

We are incredibly excited as we are trying new things on Google Classroom and are using live-lessons more and more for a range of lessons.

On that topic, please remember that our live-lessons are ONLY for lesson & learning related contributions, not private chats. Also, please be aware that all contributions are shared with the school’s leadership team.

Have a fabulous start to the new week.
Your Year 5 team
