Year 5 Home Learning Friday 8^th January 2021

Good morning everyone, it’s nearly the weekend!! Well done for working so hard and trying your best to keep learning every day. I hope you are achieving some of your goals that I mentioned on Wednesday. It feels good to do different and interesting things. I had a go at knitting a scarf during the holidays, it’s not finished yet!! I’ll look forward to hearing about some of the other things you have been doing at home, as well as your learning. You could take some photos of yourself achieving your goals and stick them into your Home Learning exercise book (collect from school). Remember to write what you did and how it made you feel to achieve it.

Reading

Please read for at least twenty/thirty minutes every day. Talk about what you have read with an adult. Discuss the story, characters and any new vocabulary you come across. We can issue books and change books as needed.

In the book you are reading find FIVE words that have apostrophes. Write down each word and explain why there is an apostrophe there, for example couldn’t – this is short for could not and the apostrophe is in place of the ‘o’. Please write these into you Home Learning exercise book (collect from school) with today’s date.

English
