Hello Year 5 😊

How are you? We hope you had a lovely half term. We are excited as today we have a brand new year group book to start sharing with you all -we hope that you will enjoy it as much as you enjoyed Wonder last half term. It’s a funny one, which will hopefully make you giggle! There are lots of different characters within the story, but we hope that this week’s guided reading and your Literacy lessons will help you to picture the characters a little easier. Are you looking forward to hearing the first few chapters? We hope so!

Here are your lessons and tasks for today:

You will need to use what you have read in the text to help you.

PE

This half term, we would like to offer you more choice in PE! We would like you to choose from one of the ‘Notts School Games’ documents (like the netball one that we focused on last half term) and to follow it over the next couple of Mondays, when you see PE on our daily timetable, to develop new skills in an area of your choice. You could pick to focus on one of the documents that you haven’t explored before, or you could pick a favourite that you remember from last year, when they were first published on the website. You can find the documents on the ‘Sporting News’ page of the website, in a post called ‘Weekly PE skills, physical activity and competitions’, or click on this link to be taken directly to the page.
