Year 5

Hello everyone,

I am sorry that our school has had to close again and we cannot be together as a class at the moment. I have prepared work packs for everyone which will include details of how to log into our new Home Learning site, which is Google Classroom. There will be work for everyone to do each week on there. The detailed instructions are as follows:

Computers and laptops: log in to Google Classroom  

• Go to www.classroom.google.com  

• Log in with your child’s log in and password (in the work packs)  

• Click the ‘+’ icon (in the top-right corner), then ‘Join class’  

• Enter the class code for your child’s class codes (these can also be found in the work packs), then click ‘Join.’  

How to get and hand in work (computers and laptops)  

• Go to Google Classroom  

• Click ‘Classwork’  

• Click on an assignment, then ‘View assignment’  

• On the right-hand side of the page, click ‘Add or create’. Depending on the type of work the teacher has set:  

• You can take photos of your child’s completed work, upload them to your computer and then upload the photos in Google Classroom – click ‘File’, then ‘Select files from your device’, then ‘Upload’  

• Or, your child can type up their answers in a Google Doc – click ‘Docs’ to load a new Google Doc  

• Once your child has finished their work, click ‘Hand in’, then ‘Hand in’ again to confirm  

• If you have made a mistake, you can click ‘Unsubmit’ to return the work to you, then follow the previous steps to resubmit work 

How to hand in work (mobile devices – Android or iOS)  

• Open the Google Classroom app  

• Tap on your child’s class, then ‘Classwork’ (at the bottom)  

• Tap on an assignment, then the arrow at the bottom  

• Tap ‘Add attachment’. Depending on the type of work the teacher has set:  

• You can take photos of your child’s completed work, upload them to your computer and then upload the photos in Google Classroom – click ‘File’, then tap the file on your device  

• Or, your child can type up their answers in a Google Doc – tap ‘New Doc’ to load a new Google doc  

• Once your child has finished their work, tap ‘Hand in’, then ‘Hand in’ again to confirm  

• If you have made a mistake, you can click ‘Unsubmit’ to return the work to you, then follow the previous steps to resubmit work.  

I will also include everyone's Purple Mash log ins.

Thank you for all your work, take care and stay safe,

Dear Parents and Carers,

in the event of your child having to learn at home, these websites will provide help with Year 5 work:

Hello everyone in Year 5,

I hope that you are all happy and keeping safe. Thank you for all the learning you have completed while school has been closed. I have added learning tasks for the last week of school, which is next week 13th to 17th July. There are also new work packs in school to be collected. I am sorry that we will not be together again as a Year 5 class, but I look forward to seeing you all in Year 6 in September. 

Enjoy the summer holidays.

Take care

Hello everyone in Year 5,

I hope that you are all well and enjoying your time with your families. I must say how impressed I am with the work completed on Purple Mash. Some of you have written amazing poems and reports; completed fabulous art work, programs on coding and using the mash cams too. Obviously, I will not be able to see any other work you have completed until we are back in school, but make sure you keep what you have been doing to show me then.

As it’s half term I thought you might like to have a go at a project to create your own time capsule to include your memories of this extraordinary time when school has been closed. I’ve included some ideas, including a science experiment to create your own rainbow! It’s up to you what else you would like to include!

Enjoy this week and the lovely weather. I miss you all and look forward to when we can be together again.

Take care

Mrs Gill x
