Looking Back and Looking Forward
As we come to the end of Year 5, it's a great time to celebrate everything you have achieved and think about the exciting journey into Year 6.
This task is split into 'key challenges', so everyone can choose at least one part to work on. You can pick the keys that feel right for you. Most children will try to complete all of the keys, but you can challenge yourself by choosing the ones that make you think harder and help you learn more about the topic. Be curious and do your best!
KEY 1 My Year 5 Memories Complete the sentences. My favourite lesson this year was... I am most proud of... I learned how to... A challenge I overcame was... One thing that made me smile was... My Year 6 Goals
KEY 2 Write a letter to your future self for the beginning of Year 6. Include: What you are proud of from Year 5. Three goals for Year 6. One piece of advice for yourself. Something you are looking forward to.
KEY 3 My Journey Through Year 5 Create a poster, comic strip, scrapbook page or timeline showing your Year 5 journey. Include: Highlights from the year. New skills you have learned. Challenges you have overcome. A memorable moment. Your hopes for Year 6. Add captions explaining why each moment was important.
KEY 4 Interview a family member about what they remember from their final year of primary school or their move to a new year group. Ask questions such as: What were you excited about? What were you nervous about? What advice would you give someone moving into Year 6? Write a short summary comparing their experiences with your own thoughts. |

Pupil login details (user name and password) should now be enter in all lower case (no capital letters at all). These login details are used each time your child quizzes a school reading book which carries an accelerated reading quiz code.
Some helpful questions to ask the children and check their understanding as they read have been pasted below.
