Hi Class 5,
I’d just like to share a message to give a big thank you to you all. Thank you for all your hard work over the year and continuing to show resilience and dedication to your work. I have received so many unexpected kind words, lovely cards and gifts over the last few days and I can’t thank you all enough, I appreciate it all.
If you’re still hungry for learning, today I would like you to reflect on what has happened this year, how you feel, your thoughts and opinions on the situation. Once you have spent some time thinking – use this to write a letter to your future self for in a year’s time. Is there something you are worrying about? Would you ask your future self if you have achieved a goal you are setting yourself? Would you remind yourself of something that has happened now? Keep your letter somewhere safe and open it in a years time, it’s always interesting to see how much has changed.
Year 6s – I wish you the best of luck for your time in secondary school and the future. Have fun, be happy and work hard. I’ve attached a little letter to you below.
Miss P 🙂

Good morning Class 5! How are you doing? Nearly at the end of the year now!
Here are your answers for yesterday’s cake quiz:
For a bit of practice on time before the end of the year, have a go at this lesson on converting units of time
For your literacy work today, practice you SPaG knowledge of using possessive apostrophes and then using them in your writing by heading here for a lesson based around orangutans.
As we are coming up to the end of the school year, I’d like you to start thinking about all you have learnt this year (when you think about it, you’ll realise how hard you’ve worked!). What new things have you learnt? Can you create a bit of an escape room using questions about what you’ve learnt this year? They might be numeracy questions, SPaG questions, science questions or even history, it’s up to you! Get someone else to play your quiz – can they crack the code?
If you’re unsure how to start it, have a look at this example

Dear Igor… Persuasive Letters Differentiated Reading Comprehension Activity
This afternoon have a think about this interesting science question: does colour affect taste? Have a look here for some guidance on how you might plan this investigation. Think about these questions:
- How do we taste things?
- Do you think colour matters?
- How do you know if something will taste good?
How can you explore this question? What is your plan for the investigation? Here are some tips:
- What will you measure, and how?
- How will you record it?
- What do you need to do to make sure you are accurate?
Have a go at your investigation – what have you found?
I know some of you have been excited about getting back to normal and having days out – but in the mean time, why not enjoy a virtual zoo day? At Chester Zoo. Get creative and either create a beautiful butterfly or build a hedgehog house WC-How-to-Hedgehog-House-A4

Today have a go at seeing how many words you can create using the letters below. Can you get the 9 letter word?
Year 5s, continue your maths learning on angles around a point Here
Year 6s, continue your maths learning on angles in polygons Here
For literacy today we will be creating our elf or sprite for the information text and planning for our writing tomorrow. Using the booklet, create your elf using activity 9, 10 and 11. In our bubble we have been thinking of lots of different ideas, such as an elf that forges paintings, a rainbow elf and elves that create dreams – how creative can you get? Next, read the text of the Forest Sprite and magpie any vocabulary that you would like to use. Finally, plan your writing for tomorrow – think about what subjects you will use for your paragraphs. Use activity 13 as a guide, are you going to add more paragraphs with different subjects? Remember that for your plan you use notes, bullet points and list of your ideas. Make sure it is full of ideas to make tomorrow easier.

Have a go at a SPaG mat before starting your work on the information text today. Pick the star rating that you think challenges you
So far in our writing we should have retrieved information about cave elves and created a word bank from what we have read. Today, have a look at activity 7 which explains the structure of the information text – are there any other paragraphs that you might include? What do you think the reader would be interested in? Perhaps information on diet, strengths and weaknesses? Or hobbies? Now move on to the next activity where you need to reorder the subheadings of the paragraphs – which order makes most sense? Lastly, have a look at the toolkit to help you get some ideas for your writing – this will be important!
