Dear all,

We are wishing you a very happy, healthy, successful and fulfilling New Year.

Sadly, we will not be seeing each other on a daily basis as yet. However, learning will still take place via Google Classroom.

Please check Google Classroom on Sunday evening, when we will outline the timetable for the following week. Then, on a daily basis, we will upload/release the lessons. During the first two days of the coming week (beginning 4^th January 2021), we will be mainly using links and resources from the Oak National Academy, however, from Wednesday, we would like to focus on what we would be learning at school as if it was open.

We will upload the daily lessons as slides (.pdf) and the accompanying worksheets as a .doc and .pdf. Sometimes, a video or video-link will support the lesson slides. If the work is completed on an electronic device, please use the .doc and submit it back to us as a Google Document. Should you wish to print the sheets (or in cases where conversions have confused the formatting of the document) please refer to the .pdf.

While one half of our team will be working with the children in school, the other half will be creating, monitoring and trouble-shooting the Google Classroom content. Should a student have any relevant questions regarding the work, please contact us via the Year-Group-Email (year5@howard.croydon.sch.uk) or the comment feature in Google Classroom. We will aim to respond as quickly as possible.

We thank you all so much for your understanding and support. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do to support you and the children in their learning at home.

Have a safe week.

Your Year 5 team
