Introduction to home learning in 5R from 6/1/21
Continuation of learning in Year 5:
Happy New Year to all of our Year 5R families. I hope you had a relaxing time over the Christmas holidays. Welcome to the Spring Term. It's not what we were all expecting but we can do this.
These are uncertain times. This is only the 2nd time we have had to shut the schools in this way. At least this time, children have been here before and understand that this is not an extended holiday. They do need to continue their learning up to the February half-term holiday, or for as long as these measures are in place.
For their reassurance (and your sanity) they will need a structured day. We suggest sticking (where possible) to a similar timetable to a school day. Teachers will still be working to plan work for your children. We are also available by email to support and answer questions about the learning.
Last time, (March 2020) we put together packs to send home, including books and a pencil case containing everything children need to record their work. Hopefully they still have the little booklet folded into A5 size, which explains all the grammar terms your child needs to know. I realise that some children were not at Stonehill at that time. I will endeavour to get a booklet to these children.
This time, we have Google Classroom, which is where we have been setting homework, and where most children have been submitting their homework, since September. We checked in class, recently, that all the accounts work. Every child in 5R was able to log on and see their tasks. All log-in details were sent home at the beginning of the Autumn Term, but I can email these again, if needed. If you are unable to submit work on Google Classroom, you will need to email me your child’s work as a document, or take a photo of it and send it to me, please.
The work for the day will be posted on Google Classroom, but I also intend to post daily on 5R’s page on the Stonehill School website. The resources for all work will be available online.
In the Autumn Term, children were given copies of their log-in details for:
- Google Classroom
- Times Tables Rockstars
- Spelling Shed
- Purple Mash
- Accelerated Reading

New Topic: 'Off with her head!' (Spring 1)
What sort of man would order the beheading of his wife? Was she really that bad?
Travel back in time to the 1500s and meet the terrifying Tudors, a domineering dynasty that changed our history. Discover an opulent court where dancing and singing goes hand in hand with swift falls from favour, and even swifter falling of heads. Develop your painting skills in miniature, solve riddles and remember to protect your precious neck with a large white ruff, if you want to survive at Tudor court. Flex your detective muscles and become a criminal investigator. Will you find out the facts or will the evidence from the past bemuse you? How will you find the accused, innocent or guilty? It’s your turn to take part in one of the most famous trials that the world has ever known.
Essential Websites:
(Children should go on these 2 or 3 times per week)
Spelling Shed and Times Tables Rockstars are an ongoing
part of children's homework, together with their reading and
Learning Log tasks of course :)
Woodlands Junior is a fabulous, and completely safe, website to support
children's learning in all areas of the curriculum.
Their Maths Zone is especially good for practising and consolidating all
the different mathematical concepts children need to understand.
There are lots of games and activities to do.
Homework Help is great for home learning involving research.

Autumn 1 Topic: 'Time Traveller'
Tick, tock, tick, tock. The hands on the clock never stop. From the moment we are born, from toddler to teen, middle age to elderly, time stops for no man. Find out what happens to our bodies and brains as we grow older, and how we cope with these changes. How long does a human baby take to grow inside the womb? Does it take longer than an elephant calf? Or a kitten? Take a good look at yourself. How has your face changed since you were a baby and how will it change as you grow older? Can you photograph it, change it, age it? Imagine that you could time travel too. When would you like to travel to and what would you like to see? Will you head back to your past or into your future? You decide.

Mental Health Awareness Week takes place in May and the theme this year is kindness. Our challenge is all about being kind to yourself by taking some time out each day for yourself. www.mentalhealth.org.uk
Let's get our children (and us) more active, as it helps with physical and mental health.
Please email me some photos (or short video clips) of Year 5 getting active, so we can celebrate their progress and encourage each other.

Continuation of learning in Year 5:
1/6/20: Summer 2
Well done to all the children and their families, who are beavering away with their learning at home. It's really important for children to keep practising the key skills, so they don't get rusty. Once schools are back to normal, children will readjust easily if they have been using their key skills regularly.
If you find that the amount of work I put up each day is too much for your child, please scale it back slightly. It is very important that children are not feeling stressed, while they are trying to learn. Take frequent small breaks if need be, to maintain a calm environment.
If you are ever unsure how to do something or you are not confident whether something is right or not, please email me. I will happily explain what to do, or say if something is right or not. Remember, teachers are still working (even if their classes are not back in school yet).
Judging by the emails I have received, the children are benefitting from having a fairly structured day. We suggest sticking (where possible) to a similar timetable to a school day, with breaks and play included.
Recently, I have been using a combination of the Maths text book your child was given and BBC Skillswise website for Maths lessons and for English I have been using mainly BBC Skillswise website.
I don't always use them on the date that the BBC say, so please read on my planning grid to find the lesson that I am using for that day.
If you have any problems at all, following my plan or you can't find something, please email me and I will endeavour to answer ASAP.
If you or your child does not understand something, please email me ASAP.
If your child needs a new exercise book, please contact the school to arrange to collect one. If this is difficult for you, either myself or another member of staff will be able to drop it to your house. If you want to return your child's completed exercise book for feedback, please do so.
Remember: The little white booklet folded into A5 size explains all the grammar terms your child needs to know. (Children were told they could decorate the cover of this if they wanted to). Remember The resources: text books, pencil cases and the children's work will need to be returned when the school reopens for your child.
Children have all been given copies of their log-in details
(in planners or in their folders of books) but I am very happy to email log-ins and passwords to you, if these have gone missing.
- Times Tables Rockstars (now including Numbots)
- Spelling Shed
- Purple Mash
- Accelerated Reading
Remember: If you are in need of any help or support, you can email me at : Catherinerichardson@stonehill.herts.sch.uk
Your child can also email me (with parental consent) and I will reply. I aim to reply to all emails ASAP. Many thanks, Mrs Richardson.

LI: To learn about imperial measurements and their relationship to metric measurements Think about any units of measurements you may hear mentioned in real-life but have never worked on in school. I am thinking about imperial measurements.
IMPERIAL MEASUREMENTS were the only units of measurement officially used in the U.K up until the early 1970s, when the new metric units came in. When we buy something, it has to be labelled and priced in metric measures, but many people still think and talk about the older imperial measurements.
How many imperial measurements can you and your family think of? Use the questions below to help you.

The Doughnut Thief
by Mrs Richardson and the UKS2 Bubble
There once was a very plain doughnut,
Who had no colour, no flavour and no nut.
He was dull and boring and had no topping,
Nobody looked at him - nobody was stopping.
'What can I do?' thought the snack.
As he sat on the shelf, right at the back.
"Please pick me!" he called out loud
To the hungry people in the crowd.
But nobody did
Nobody cared
Nobody looked
Nobody stared.
So the doughnut came up with a cunning plan,
To make sure he was chosen by the next man.
He would steal the toppings and fillings from the others
To attract the shoppers, the kids and their mothers.
So in the dead of night, when the shop was closed,
The doughnut crept from his shelf and stood and posed...
From each other snack he stole some topping
And stuck it to him, just like he was shopping!
Some sprinkles here, some chocolate there.
Strawberries, sugar arranged with care.
Cherries and icing, caramel and cream.
He was determined to be picked it. It was his dream!
The very next morning
The people came in...
Without any warning
They shouted, " I want him!"
One large man with a big, round face.
Managed to come first in the doughnut race.
He paid his money and grabbed his cake.
He didn't care that the box might break.
He grabbed the sticky treat in his large, round fist...
He aimed for his mouth but clumsily missed.
The doughnut realised a little too late...
Being chosen by a customer sealed his fate!
The last anyone saw of the doughnut full of jelly,

Spring Term Highlights:
Art Week: (w/b 27th January 2020)
World Book Day
Autumn 1
Year 5 have had a very busy first half-term.
In English, we have learnt the features of a biography and have written a biography for Mary Anning. We also read some short stories from a book called, 'Tales from Outer Suburbia' by Shaun Tan and explored the author's use of language.
In Maths, we worked on place value, writing larger numbers and rounding. We converted fractions to decimals and vice-versa. Another major focus was multiplying and dividing by powers of 10.
In topic, we learned about the properties of materials. We did some experiments, focussing on fair testing.
In Art & Design Week, we learnt to sew and produced a very effective collaborative collage based on our 'Materials' topic. Each child did their own small collage, representing a particular material. The finished result is on display in the entrance hall and has attracted lots of positive comments.

Class Letters and Curriculum Overviews
Autumn 2
This is going to be a very busy half-term. Our new topic, 'The Vikings', has a history focus and also includes some geography. Viking Day on 27th November will be very fun and informative. We will be looking for some adult volunteers to help on the day. Parents and Grandparents, who have helped on previous occasions, have always thoroughly enjoyed their day. If you think you can help, please speak to Mrs Richardson or the school office ASAP.
In Maths, we will be learning some new methods of calculation and will be consolidating and deepening our prior learning with mastery activities.
In English, we will be exploring poetry and will link this to Remembrance Day. After this, we will be studying Shakespeare's play, 'Macbeth'. Children benefit enormously from studying these fascinating works of literature and immersing themselves in the richness of Shakespeare's language. The story of 'Macbeth' is still really rivetting and children love it.
Year 5 are very fortunate that we still have coaches from Stevenage F.C to teach P.E this half-term. These lessons will continue on Monday afternoons until Christmas. It is very important that children bring their P.E kit for these sessions, for hygiene reasons and also to set up good organisation skills for Secondary school.
By Year 5, children should be responsible enough to bring the correct equipment each day (eg reading book, planner and P.E kit). Most of our children manage this, but far too many are turning up without the things they know that they need. It is worth noting that repeated failure to bring the correct equipment to school can result in a yellow or red card.
Over the next few weeks, we will be practising Christmas songs ready for our 'Carols on the Playground' at the end of term.
