Ferring Church of England Primary School

Home Learning Singapore Class

Dear Parents and Carers of Year 5,

Welcome to Year 5’s Home Learning page! I do hope you all had a wonderful half term!  Thank you so much for your continued support and hard work to continue your child's education at home!  Thank you also for using Tapestry or email to upload your child's work so I can view all the brilliant things they are doing and the work they are producing!  I have received some superb photographs showing me lots of wonderful things the pupils have been doing at home from: mini-beast pebble painting, lava lamp making, den building, Grendel's lair making, VE Day dressing up and garden party celebrations to sewing lessons and more!  I'd love to load up more photographs to the class home-learning page to share with others to showcase all the wonderful things you are doing at home.  If you and your child would like to share photographs of the things you have been doing on the class home-learning page, please email them to me at: year5@ferringceschool.co.uk. Thank you!

As it is now the first week of Summer Term 2, I have uploaded new home-learning activities and resources for the week ahead. Also, just before Book Week in March I sent out Reading Competition details for 'The Extreme Reading Challenge!'  I have attached the competition details again below which you can download with the details of how to take part. Please send your 'Extreme Reading Challenge' competition entries to: year5@ferringgceschool.co.uk.  I have also uploaded the newest issue of First News for your child to read and enjoy as well as the First News issue (Issue 7) from half term which your child may not have read along with the activity sheets which can be downloaded if they would like to do any of the quizzes, puzzles or reading comprehension activities linked to the newspaper issue as part of their reading activities for the week. 

This term our topic is 'A Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Solar System' where pupils topic-based learning will be linked to Space. During half term I loaded up some space-themed activities and resources if pupils wanted to complete them and they can still be accessed below if your child wants to complete any of those tasks this week as part of their topic based learning. There is also a Writing Competition pupils can take part in with the details listed at the top of this page.  

Tapestry has been purchased for this period of home-learning for all pupils in school.  Please visit

https://tapestryjournal.com/ to access this site. Please upload your child's home-learning to share with me where I can view the tasks and activities they are taking part in and give your child feedback on the work they are completing. If you haven't already, please follow the instructions from the mail sent to you by the school office about setting up Tapestry. If you have any difficulties using this site then please let me know. I am still available by email (year5@ferringceschool.co.uk) for any queries you have or if you need help with anything.

There is a link to a Science page full of activities and resources on the main Home-Learning page with links to lots of science resources and activities your child can be doing.  Mr Virgoe would love to see any photographs, videos or work produced linked to any science activities you undertake.  Please send these to Mr Virgoe at: year3@ferringceschool.co.uk

There are also lots of PE activities and challenges on the main home-learning page which have been uploaded by Mr Ryan for your child to take part in so please click here for more details.  Below, I have included the details about the AMAZING Specsavers 'Virtual' Sussex School Games.

Reading for Pleasure:

Pupils should continue to read for pleasure recording the book title, number of pages read and the author of the book.  These details can be recorded in their Home Reading Diaries.  If pupils cannot find their diary they can log this in the back of their Home Learning Book.

Pupils can choose books from home as well as from books set online on 'Reading Planet'.  These can be fiction, non-fiction and poetry texts. The books can be in paper or online formats.  Newspapers, graphic novels, research done online all count as well as poems and play scripts.  A good test to check if a text is at the right level for your child is the five finger test:

English Reading Activities:

This week I'd like the pupils to login to 'Reading Planet' and read at least one of the books which I have assigned them and complete the quizzes linked to the book chosen. I have uploaded a range of fiction and non-fiction texts for you to choose from. You can read more than one book if you have time.  Your child may want to read another book or text of their choice instead of using the Reading Planet program resources and that is fine too!

Information about Reading Planet:

We have signed up to 'Reading Planet' from Rising Stars where pupils can access e-books to read online and take part in mid-point and end of reading quizzes. I have assigned reading books for the pupils to choose to read and I will add new online reading e-books each week from a range of fiction and non-fiction texts. The 'Reading Planet' website can be accessed by clicking on the URL below.  Pupils will need their username and password to access the site which I have emailed to those of you whose email addresses I already have.  If you need your child's login details for Reading Planet please email me at: year5@ferringceschool.co.uk.
