Good morning Year 5

PANJANS WELCOMES YOU TO YOUR MONDAY MORNING LESSONS!!!


TASK 1

COMPUTER - please see the blog below titled “Monday 23rd- using SUMDOG while learning from home” here you will find an instruction video and your passwords for this new learning platform, which we will be using while you are away from school. The film is also in our Year 5 “How to help at home” section (orange button on our class blog). Have fun today playing the games. You need to know I managed to balance 13 strange items- let me know if you beat me- you’ll know what I mean once you get started

TASK 2

Reading- let’s move onto reading more SCI FI! If you were away last week the class played with Sci FI toys and wrote toy reviews we also talked about what SCI- FI is to them. We decided it was - aliens from other planets, space ships, blasters, star wars, imperial fighters and Dr.Who saving planet Earth. We then went onto to reading short SCI-FI stories. I have set another one here today called “THE PET SNATCHERS!” Open up the link and answer the comprehension questions in your book. Try to keep your new book neat and organised include a date and title.

TASK 3

Reading

Please read every night - we are half way through the half term and our astronauts (reading target wall) are steadily climbing to the moon! Keep up the focus!

Maths

This week the children have moved on from the expanded method when completing long multiplication- they are now using the short method. A couple of members of the class helped me to make a little teaching video for you to see. The children have to sit you down and explain the method to you. There are then 8 sums to complete by you- your child will then mark them! I have also given them 8 sums to complete on their own and you can check these! Have fun teachers and be well behaved pupils- mums and dads!
