I hope you are all keeping well and I have been thinking of you all lots over the last few weeks. I miss you all. We are back to home learning this week which means I will structure your week for you with Literacy and Maths activities for the week and some other activities you could be doing at other times throughout the week. We are not choosing a Wow worker each day but we are going to collect all your images and work throughout the week and make a big video collage of all your achievements on a Friday so now more than ever it is so important for you to keep sending everything you do!! You worked incredibly hard before half term and for as long as this lasts I would love for you to continue with your positive attitudes and hard work. I know you can do it Year 5. I am as always here for you should you need anything. Please just message me with any concerns but also any achievements too, so we can celebrate together. One last push to get through these next few weeks. You can do it Year 5. I believe in you all. Love Mrs Stammers xxx

Our Literacy Focus Theme: Titanic (Part 2)
Continue to explore all there is to know about the most famous ocean liner, ‘Titanic’. This week concentrates on the sinking of Titanic.

When following links online, parents should monitor that children are remaining on that page only and are keeping safe online.

Due to the sensitive nature of the subject matter this week, it is advised that all reading activities and the watching of clips, are completed with an adult and supported through discussion.

Day 1 - Monday 1^stJune 2020 - Literacy

Watch Sinking of the Titanic – only up to 6:30 mins here:

Write down key facts about the sinking as you watch.

Imagine you are a news reporter in 1912 and you have just received the information that Titanic has sunk. Write a news report explaining to your readers the events of the tragedy. Once you have written your news report, if possible, you may wish to film your report as if it is aired on BBC news.
