Home Learning
Friday 15th March
Another amazing week!
We hope you have a fantastic day today, celebrating Red Nose Day with all of your friends.
This week there are two tasks:
Maths
This week we have moved on to looking at how to calculate area of rectangles (length x width). To help you with this, we would like for you to look around your home and measure as many small rectangular objects as you can find. Please try to find objects of differing sizes and measure them with the correct units of measure (m, cm, mm). You could collect your information in a table or draw some of the items if you would like to - please do not draw objects to scale.
Comic Relief!
As Red Nose Day only happens once every two years, we thought it would be really fun for part of our home learning this week to be Comic relief related! How many of the riddles can you solve by using your maths calculation skills?
Our World Book Day celebrations!
An amazing day at the North Devon Netball Finals on March 5th at Park School, with our Level 1 Yr5/6 qualifying team. Southmead finished 4th in their pool of 7 teams, with only 1pt in it between 3rd and 2nd place, so a super tight finish between the top 4. Southmead went on into the playoffs and finished 7th out the 14 teams that attended. It was fabulous to witness some brilliant netball and how well the team supported one another throughout the games. Well done Winter, Arno, Eva, Brian, Macie, Missy and Sophie, you should all be very proud of how well you demonstrated respect and sportsmanship for others, yourselves and for our school.

Parents/carers: If you have any questions, queries or comments about Year 5, please email the school office on: admin@southmead.devon.sch.uk
They will forward this information to the correct member of staff who will then be able to get back to you regarding your query.
Here is the presentation that we discussed in the Year 5 introductory parents meeting :)
This year, we will be encouraging the children to become independent learners.
We will be placing home learning here on the Year 5 page of the school website. Any resources necessary to complete the tasks will be printed out and placed in each child's green home learning book. Each week there will be a Maths task and a writing or topic task (alongside times tables and reading). Home learning will be uploaded here on Fridays and is due to be handed in at school on the following Wednesday.
Home learning books should be brought back in to school every Wednesday so that we can see your wonderful work!
