Welcome to Year 5

---

Have you seen the photos and report about Year 5's recent visit to Sacred Heart? Click on the image to see the latest Heartbeat.

Thirty children from Year 5 are looking forward to joining by Zoom with other schools from the north west of England and the whole of Ireland in the Peace Proms. The concert will be broadcast live from The Helix, Dublin, with the Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland conducted by Greg Beardsell. 

 The Y5 children have received letters with details of how to log into Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams, where we shall be uploading work in the event of a shutdown. Click on the image above to access Office 365.  If you need another copy, please contact your child's teacher.

In the near future, home learning work will be for Year 5 on Microsoft Teams. Please watch this video if you need a reminder about how to use it.  

 Use the same username and password that you use for Purple Mash and Mangahigh.

First visit the Studio to improve your rock status. You need to have had ten goes in the Studio to get your rock status. 

Practise in the Garage. 

Test yourself in the Soundcheck, then visit the Studio again.

5H have made their own versions of Flappy Bird.  If you would like to have a go, click on the image above and solve the coding puzzles to get ideas for your own game.

1) Watch these videos with your parents/carers.

2) Write two things that you learned from the videos about what robots and computers can do.

3) Write two ways that your parents/carers used computers this week (including phones/tablets)

4) Imagine you could teach a robot to do anything you like. What would you teach it to do? How would computing help you do this?
