Good morning, Year 5.
I cannot believe we have finished another half-term under lock-down and I hope you have a lovely break. Next half-term, until you are back in school, I will be teaching Year 6 on two days each week and so will only be making phone calls on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Work will still be set in the same way every day, but I may not have the opportunity to give much feedback on Thursdays and Fridays. I will, however, still try to respond to any urgent messages on these days.
Today, please could you:
If you’d like some activities to do over half-term, as well as reading on Bug Club, you could complete the activities on reflection and translation on pages 66-69 of your CPG book.
I hope you have a lovely holiday and have some fun outdoor experiences over the next week!
Take care
Mrs Bond
Good morning, Year 5.
I hope you had the chance to enjoy the sunshine yesterday. It won’t be quite as warm today, but is still forecast to be beautiful, so do try to get out for a walk and some fresh air!
Today, please could you:
For French, continue with our Memrise challenge at: https://www.memrise.com/group/397919/. Try and do at least 5 minutes every day and see if you can move up our leaderboard! Well done to Josie, who is currently top, closely followed by Ellis. Last week, Jenson topped the leaderboard, with Harry in second place. Well done to everyone who’s got involved - keep it up Year 5! You need to create a Memrise account at www.memrise.com before you can join the Beech 5 group.
Have a lovely day!

Good morning Year 5!
The weather forecast for today is amazing. Please make sure you spend some time outside, but remember to put on some suncream!
Please could you:
Our life-skills work carries on the themes of mindfulness and gratitude. Look at the activity on Seesaw about being strong like a tree. Can you identify things you have around you that are your roots and support you in difficult times?
For computing this week, choose one of the following:
Thank you all very much! I hope you have a lovely day.

Yesterday, we started to look at the artwork of Abdalla al Omari and how he represents refugees. During the rest of this week, I’d like you to create a piece of artwork that represents your life in lock-down. It could be a portrait, photograph, collage, painting or drawing. I’d love at least one contribution from every member of the class, so I can put your work together into a short film. Please could you send your work to me by Friday, so I can edit it over half-term?
Thank you all very much! I hope you have a lovely day.
Mrs Bond
Good morning Year 5. I hope you’ve had a lovely weekend
If you haven’t finished “The Boy at the Back of the Class”, please try to do so before the end of half-term. Your new Early Morning Work books will be available to collect early in June. Please could you return your copy of The Boy at the Back of the Class to school then? I will have some copies of A Boy and a Bear in a Boat available to borrow on the same day.
This week, you may find the maths activities easier to do on paper, so all the worksheets, along with this week’s handwriting exercise, are on the website https://www.cookhamriseprimary.org/beech-5-6/ If you do complete them on paper, please upload a photograph to the activity on Seesaw, so I can see your work!
Today, please could you:
For our art project this week, take a look at https://www.facebook.com/pg/TheVulnerabilitySeries/photos/?ref=page_internal
The artist is Abdalla al Omari, a Syrian refugee, who has reimagined many world leaders as refugees. Then look at the Seesaw activity – what are the world leaders thinking? Why do you think he has represented them in this way?
Remember to do some exercise and keep active.
I hope you have a great day!
Mrs Bond
