Home Learning

Hello Class 5!

It has been a very strange week and I’m so sorry I didn’t get chance to say a proper goodbye to you last week. I’m hoping very much that we will be able to get together again at some point before Year 6 start secondary school.

I hope that you’re all well and enjoying the beautiful weather.  Well done if you’ve managed to start some home learning, but don’t worry if you haven’t. It’s important that you’re spending time outside, enjoying the fresh air, and spending a bit of time relaxing and rejuvenating after everything that has happened in the last week or so.

From next week onwards, Mrs Johnson and I will be setting some home learning tasks and activities for you to complete if you are able to do so. These will be posted on Monday mornings so please check the website/email on Mondays.

We are also available to answer any queries by email at class5@bicton.shropshire.sch.uk during school hours Monday-Friday.

We would absolutely love to hear from you to hear about what you have been doing since school closed and also answer any questions you have about your work so please send us an email!

We are missing our wonderful class already, and school is a very quiet place without all of your lovely chatter.

Take care of yourselves and… WASH YOUR HANDS!

Miss Carr and Mrs Johnson

Reading Cinema Launch

As part of our whole-school initiative to encourage reading for pleasure, Miss Carr has introduced a ‘Reading Cinema’ which was launched this week with Class 5.

Year 5 and 6 have been voting all week for which book they would like to listen to. At the end of the day yesterday, they were all invited to enter the ‘cinema’ and, after lots of excitement at being presented with popcorn,  they enjoyed listening to ‘The Lost Thing.’

Next week, Class 4 will be voting for which book they would like to listen to then a different class will take part each week.

Keep an eye out for other classes enjoying this over the next few weeks!

Class 5 Science homework 17.01.20

Class 5 homework Create your own planet

To build on what they have been learning about our solar system this week in Science, Class 5 have been set the above homework task. This asks them to use what they have learnt about other planets to create a new planet, which could fit into our solar system. They can use IT to create their poster/information sheet/leaflet but not PowerPoint.

If you or your child has any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
