Welcome to the Plumcroft Distance Learning Portal for Year 5

Here, you will find suggested learning opportunities for you and your family. Using these resources, you can put together a working timetable that fits your family’s commitments. We would like to encourage you to engage with certain online learning tools that we believe contain the best content to support learning in the coming weeks.

Mathletics and ReadiWriter, MyOn and Renaissance Home Connect (Accelerated Reader, Accelerated Maths and Maths in a Flash) will be our primary sources for distance online learning – Plumcroft’s teachers will monitor these regularly. Teachers will be setting projects in MyOn that involve both reading and writing. There will also be links with art, science, history, geography and DT. There will be no deadlines set as every family’s situation is different, but we will be setting new projects regularly to keep the children learning! Many of you have been requesting timetables for home learning. Daily timetables will vary according to a child’s age, your work and family commitments and how much time you decide to spend on each activity.

One example could be:

Time	Possible Activity
9am – 9:30am	PE - Workout with Joe Wicks
9:30am – 10am	Spelldrome, Mathletics, Maths in a Flash or Times Tables Rockstars
10am – 12:00 (not 2 whole hours of work!)	Renaissance Home Connect open for accelerated reading quizzes – so read your favourite books in paperback or on MyOn and then quiz. Read a MyOn non-fiction book with your family, complete your latest project  and quiz together!
2pm – 3pm	Use Renaissance Home Connect to access your maths work for today on Accelerated Maths and Maths in a Flash
3pm – 4pm	Coding activity in Purple Mash or explore for some activities in history or geography . Science and Art – try one of the suggested websites (list underneath) or use materials in your home to make/draw/build projects.
4pm	Tune in to Newsround to find out what’s been going on in the world
5pm – 7pm (not 2 whole hours of work!)	Renaissance Home Connect open for accelerated reading quizzes – so read your favourite books in paperback or on MyOn and then quiz. Read a MyOn non-fiction book with your family, complete your latest project and quiz together!
Before bedtime	Don’t forget to read a book, either on your own or with a member of your family, for at least 15 minutes.

I hope you’re all staying well – we’re hoping to see you all again soon.

Kind Regards,
 

Mr D Witham

Assistant Headteacher - KS2
