Hi Year 5!
I hope you have taken the time to enjoy the Easter holidays and appreciate this time spent with your family. I have enjoyed relaxing with my family and eating Easter eggs! I have been doing PE with Joe Wicks, baking, completing jigsaws and reading too!
I am glad to see that many more of you are completing online learning including SpellingShed, MyMaths and TTRockstars so do keep this up.
Please make sure you are completing some of the activities shown on the website. There are opportunities for you to write, be active and work practically so choose a variety and keep it fun!
I hope you are enjoying completing the Kahoot quizzes! Quite a few of you have completed them, which is great. When it asks you to enter your name, I am happy for them to be fun or imaginative but please make it link to your actual name so I know who has completed the quiz. At the minute, the names are a little crazy and I am finding it difficult to figure out who is who!
Thank you to those who have emailed some pictures and examples of work to our new class email account, which is year5@eastbierleyprimary.com. Please try to email me at least once a week as I am missing our time at school together and so it would be great to see that you are learning and having fun at home.
We miss you all!
Stay safe.
Miss Williams, Mrs Webb and Mrs Robson

Learning Project - to be completed through the week
The project this week aims to provide opportunities for your child to learn more about different viewpoints. Learning may focus on physical viewpoints in terms of what you can see outside of the window at home, what others can see looking into your home and then progress onto personal viewpoints and of others.
Viewpoints and Mood: Look into a room in your home and think about how it makes you feel. You can draw something linked to how you feel when looking in the room or draw an object from the room and then colour, shade or paint it in a colour that reflects your current mood. You could create a sketchbook, use this website to help you.
Views: Choose a viewpoint that you are familiar with, it could be from your bedroom window, of the sea or the countryside. Some viewpoints that you may have visited or heard of could be Ilkley Moor or Five Rise Locks Bingley. Use Google Earth or Google Maps to create an accurate diagram of the viewpoint.
Viewpoints from Around the World: Research famous viewpoints from around the world (e.g. The Eiffel Tower). Draw what you think you would see from this viewpoint. After this, design and create a miniature scale of the landmarks that give these viewpoints and evaluate your creations.
A change in Viewpoints: How did Martin Luther King and Rosa Park’s actions and views shape society today? Challenge yourself to compare and contrast viewpoints from then and now on people’s race, culture and religion. How has this improved society’s attitudes towards those who are different to ourselves?
Debate: Is good more powerful than evil? Is it worse to fail at something or never attempt it in the first place? Is it more important to be liked or respected? Choose a question to answer, write a speech and use real-life examples to justify your opinion.
Earth and Space: Our next topic is Earth and Space. Start to gather some research about the earth, space and planets. You could put a PowerPoint together, create a poster or draw and paint a picture of one of the planets
