Welcome all to Year 5 - Spring.
Welcome back to what I know will be a slightly different Spring term but hopefully we can continue our learning online and make it as fun-packed as possible. I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas break with lots of chocolate, sweets and movies. I know you are all ready to embrace the challenges and wobbles ahead in this term. Don't forget you can keep safe by staying at home as much as possible and washing your hands too. Please keep in contact with me by using Twitter @firsprimarysale #Year5DT, Google Classroom, or emailing me on dtumilty@firs.trafford.sch.uk I will try to respond quickly but I am still teaching children in school so there might be a delay in my reply. I am also looking forward to our weekly Zoom calls.
Each week I will upload a timetable of activities (below) that I would like you to complete while at home. Both Mrs Reynolds-Smith and I will also be uploading work and timetables to Google classroom as it will be easier to share and discuss your work with us. You should have your log-in details in your reading record for Google Classroom, Mathletics and Times Table Rockstars however if you don’t, please contact the school office.
Stay safe and speak soon.
Thank you for your continued support
Mr Tumilty & Mrs Reynolds-Smith.

Art - As you all know, The Grinch is one of my favourite Christmas movies. It always make me laugh when I watch it - In fact, I think I might re-watch it this afternoon. Have a go using this art tutorial to draw your own picture of Mr Grinch. You could always make it into a Christmas card for a family member or even an elderly neighbour who might feel lonely at this time of the year.

P.E. - We have all been trying to make it to Lapland with our #LapstoLapland challenge. We were so close to beating the other class and getting there first. Your P.E. lesson for today is to complete the Christmas Elf workout using this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R82EBGYm9fw I have spoken to Mrs Craig who will allow our reindeer to move on one step for each class member who completes the workout which means we will get to Lapland before the other Year5 class. Good luck and have fun.

English - Use the PowerPoint to write some interesting sentences about the picture of Tilly getting upto mischief. Christmas is her favourite time of the year as she loves to play with the baubles hanging on the Christmas tree.
Maths - You have just won the lottery. What would you spend your money on? Practice using your column addition and subtraction skills to make your shopping list. Be careful not to spend over £1,000,000 (1 Million).
Zoom Christmas Party - All you need is a pencil/pen and some paper. Perhaps you might want to wear your Christmas jumper to help get you into the mood.

Remember that this week we are being ‘Creative’ and ‘Kind’ whilst remembering “it’s not what you can do for yourself, it’s what you can do for others.”
With that in mind, today I’d like you to get your creative juices flowing. Remember when we collected twigs outside, well we were going to make a Christmas decoration. So, I’d like you to use your imagination, and the natural resources around your house/garden, to create a decoration of your choice. Take a photo and send it to me!
PM - Following on from all our wonderful literacy work over the past 2/3 weeks, we were planning on watching ‘A Christmas Carol” (the one with Jim Carey in) this afternoon so, put your comfortable clothes on, get some popcorn, dim the lights and settle in to watch this real classic or choose your own favourite film! I think I might watch The Grinch. You might prefer to watch this live pantomime which has been organised just for children.
We are delighted to include a link to Rapunzel The Lockdown pantomime resources.

English - 'Twas the Night Before Christmas Poetry. Read the famous poem before you begin and use a dictionary to check the meaning of any words you are not sure about. Use the PowerPoint to help you plan your own Christmas poem similar to Clement Clarke Moore. I have also included a sheet which will help you plan your poem - it can be as long or as short as you can make it. If you are having a wobble trying to make it rhyme, don't worry, not all poems rhyme. Just try your best.
Maths - Addition and Subtraction problems. Read each question carefully before you try to answer them. I have included the answers on the last page of the Powerpoint - but no peeking until you have tried to answer each question. Just give them your best shot.
ICT - Coding. Use the link in the PowerPoint to create your own Dance Party. If we can't have our class party in person, we can still have an electronic party on Code.org
