Welcome to Years 5 and 6
New June 29th: Learning Grid 8
Please see the information below for suggested ways in which you can structure and use the activities provided. We would also direct your attention to the National Oak Academy, which has been established to support all children at this difficult time. A programme of daily lessons is available at https://www.thenational.academy/ and some of these are referenced within our learning grids. Children can complete their tasks in their home learning books.
We have received some super photographs of examples of work completed. We are very proud of you all!
Home Learning
On this page, you will find some activities that will help you with your learning at home. The grids accessible via the link below have been designed so that you can choose activities in any order. There are also links to websites that will help you with your learning.
Seesaw, an online learning platform, will be used from 8th June 2020 to enable children to access activities each day, upload photographs of completed work and respond to teachers' messages. Your child can ask any questions they have or share their work using Seesaw. Access codes have been sent home. Please contact us at school if you require any help.

English Learning and Resources
You can find resources to help you with reading, writing and spelling below. The comprehension activities include a text to read and some questions to answer. There are three levels of challenge, with 'three stars' providing the greatest challenge. You could read on-screen and use the questions to talk about what you have read. If you would like to record your answers in your home book, an adult could check them with the answers provided. No cheating! Please note that the 'Grammar Practice Booklet' was written with Year 6 SATs tests in mind, and there are references to the test dates. These, of course, are cancelled for the 2020 academic year, but the content is still appropriate for practice at the correct level.
