Happy Half-Term Year 5!

Thank you!

Well here we are Year 5, we were challenged to home learning and we conquered it! It has been a long six weeks but that hasn’t halted the effort in your work and  I’m incredibly proud of each and every one of you, those of you working from home and those of you in school, and I applaud all your efforts. 👏🏻I continue to be amazed at how hard working and resilient you have all been and I want to say a very big thank you to you and your parents for taking on this challenge and working so hard. Next week, I hope you are all (parents included) able to take a well earned rest and use the week to recharge your batteries and just take the time to enjoy being with your family and do things that you can enjoy together. Perhaps you’d like to take part in ‘Star Count’ (see below for details) - my family and I will be taking part in this. 

Thank you to everyone who was able to ‘meet’ with us on Tuesday during our Google Meet. It was a lovely opportunity for us to come together again and it was the highlight of my week being able to see all your little faces, even if it was just through the screen. I hope you all enjoyed seeing each other too!

Thank you once again to those of you who have shared their resilient moves over the last six weeks, I really do enjoy seeing what you have all been getting up to and I know that the children who are in school have also enjoyed seeing them too. What resilient moves will you make next week during half term? Don’t forget to email them to me at year5@our-lady.blackpool.sch.uk so we can share them after half term.

Lent

Next Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a period of six weeks (40 days not including Sundays) leading up to Easter when we celebrate the death and resurrection of Christ. If you would like to find out more about Lent, click the link to the BBC Bitesize website which has videos and activities to complete.

Star Count (Lockdown friendly stargazing activity) 🌟

Each year, CPRE (The countryside charity) asks the nation to help measure light pollution in their area by getting starry-eyed and counting visible stars. They’re asking people from all across the country to become citizen scientists and look up to the starry sky from home for one night. They want you to join in by choosing a clear night from now till the 14th February and look up at the constellation of Orion and let them know how many stars you can spot. For more details, take a look at their website .

Here are the photos of your ‘Super Friends’ from our Google Meet PSHE lesson we had on Tuesday and some of your finished potion poems I’ve received. Thank you!

Coming up…

World Book Day is coming up Thursday 4th March. Obviously this will be different than other years with school being closed to some children but we will be organising an activity for this day. There will hopefully be a story reading by class teachers as well as a competition. Whether at home or at school, it would also be lovely for the children to dress as a book character (however if in school, please limit to a simple costume with as few ‘loose’ items as possible).

Bikeability - In mid March the Bikeability time will be coming in to deliver lessons on safe cycling to competent Year 5 cyclists - they must have an appropriate sized and safe bike and be able to ride their bike safely and competently (part of the training will be out on the road around school). Due to Covid restrictions, this session will only be available for 12 children and they have said that they may be able to offer an alternative date later in the school year if there are more children who wish to take part. Once we know more about school opening from the Government’s update after half term, details to parents will follow. However, in the meantime, if your child is interested in taking part then I would encourage that they get out on their bike as much as possible to ensure they are prepared for the course.

The home learning for after half term will be published next Friday. I haven’t set any work over half term but I do encourage Year 5 to keep reading for their enjoyment.📚

Have a wonderful well earned break Year 5! Enjoy!
