Year 5 - Summer Support

We hope that you enjoy the activities that have been planned for you. Follow the links below to access the recommended webpages and videos to help you to practise the knowledge that you have learnt this year. 

Reading

Read your Book Club book every day for 15 minutes. Use your bookmark to complete the tasks and keep track of your page target. We look forward to completing the Book Club Quiz with you when you return in September! Keep a record of any other books you enjoy reading over summer too. You could read a non-fiction text about one of our upcoming topics: Mid-West America, Vikings and electricity. You may enjoy listening to stories too. You could access a free audiobook on Researchify or BBC. 

Writing

Each week, write two entries in your summer diary. These could be experiences you have had, current news topics or things you are looking forward to next year. This will be a primary source of information which will be interesting for historians to look back at in the future! Therefore, use your neatest handwriting and re-read your writing, checking for edits. You could use Bitesize to revise the spelling, grammar and punctutation rules from Year 5. We can’t wait to share your diaries in September and look at your memories of Summer 2021!
