Hi Elephants.

Your homework this week has been set up on Reading eggs and Mathletics.

There are a few place value tasks, a comprehension task and a spelling task. 

You have until Tuesday night to complete it.  

I have set up timestable rockstars with the 1x 2x 5x and 10x table to practise.  The 3x and 4x will appear in a few weeks.

Penguins Homework, by Mr Croft

Date: 23rd Sep 2020 @ 8:37am

Hi all! 

Now that we are back at school and settled in well I just wanted to leave a notice on our class blog about homework. 

Homework for Y5 will be sent out virtually via Google Classroom and children will be able to access Maths and Comprehension homework through that portal. This work will be related to what we have been studying in class that week or recently. 

Outside of Google Classroom, Maths and Reading quiz homework will be set via Mathletics and Reading Eggs and finally, Times Tables Rockstars will be ongoing as multiplication table practice.

I hope everyone is safe and well! 

Thanks, 

Mr. Croft

Human Family Trees, by Mrs Fletcher

Date: 20th Sep 2020 @ 8:50pm

The Koalas have impressed us with the number of facts they can remember about Queen Elizabeth 1. They had great fun in the sunshine working out some of her family tree. The children made connections with other curriculum areas and told us that they had had to use their reading and maths skills to work out who her grand parents and parents  were. They did an awesome job!
