Year 5 2020 -2021
Miss Gibbons
Ms Hanna
We welcome all parents and children to Year 5's webpage. Year 5 is an important year in which we hope to see the pupils grow to be much more independent, have more confidence and begin to express their own opinions in a mature manner.

Daily Prayers: Year 5 why not lead the prayer session if you have younger siblings Week commencing 22nd Feb
Please take a look at this week's Wednesday Word and follow the activities to do with Sunday's Gospel Wednesday Word Booklet
Please send learning each day via Google Classroom or via email year5@st-ambrose.manchester.sch.uk
Some learning can be done straight on to Google Classroom rather than in a book or on paper so it is important your child logs on each day to see what work can be done directly on the device they are using. It would be great to see all the learning your child is doing not just maths and English. Google Classroom gives your child the opportunity to send their learning directly to the teacher and for the teacher to give feedback through a comment box.
Google Classroom: Video links to show you how to log on and how to submit your learning:
Logging on: https://youtu.be/qkBKfk5gZDA Submit your learning: https://youtu.be/w6LnEqsuO1M
Please download the links in the Files to Download section at the bottom of this page for more information on how to set up and use Google Classroom ( pupil and parent guides).
If there is anything else you need please send an email. You can also keep in touch with all the school information through the website, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
To ensure learning continues after half term, there are timetables for the children to follow (see link below and on Google Classroom). These give instructions on what pages the children should complete in the workbooks and information about the other subjects. To support this, there are daily videos uploaded to the class web page and on Google Classroom that provides further instructions and support.

Maths: The video links below will help you with the Maths learning for this week. We are on new topics for Year 5. These are from Oak Academy and a teacher will take you through the lesson. However, you will not be doing the worksheets they refer to, you will still do the pages in your CGP workbook but they should be similar.
I strongly recommend you watch these videos first before attempting the questions in your book.
