Books for Year 5 - our recommendations

The Thief of Farrowfell by Ravena Guron

In this fast-paced and exciting tale of crime, magic, and intrigue, Jude Ripon strives to prove her worth by stealing a rare piece of magic, unaware that it is guarded by a powerful curse. It's perfect for children seeking excitement and fantasy adventure. Read our full review.

Coming to England by Floella Benjamin

This inspiring autobiography sensitively and revealingly chronicles the Windrush experience of a young girl travelling from Trinidad to a new life in England in 1960. A powerful read, Floella Benjamin's childhood account is one that will resonate with KS2 children and one they will be able to empathise with. This text will be a useful resource for autobiographical writing in year 5 literacy lessons.

Who Let the Gods Out by Maz Evans

An anarchic laugh-out-loud story about a boy, Elliot, who spots a shooting star one night which turns out to be a deity with a lot on her mind; and something unexpected and very nasty lurking under Stonehenge. The pair call on the Gods of Greek myths to save the world and Elliot's mum. The outrageously funny language will appeal to reluctant readers. This must-read book is probably a cult series in the making.

Boy in the Tower by Polly Ho-Yen

A boy who lives in a tower block sees the whole world below him. But one day the tower begins to crumble and fall. The world around him collapses amongst peculiar and menacing plants. Is all hope lost or can he find a way out? This multi-award-winning book with high-quality text is ideal for teaching in year 5 literacy units, and perfect to use when modelling tension, descriptive writing and settings.

Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

Artemis Fowl is the twelve-year-old son of an Irish crime lord. After significant research, Artemis believes that he has confirmed the existence of fairies, and he intends to track them down. A more advanced book for year 5 book clubs.

The Breadwinner by Deborah Ellis

11-year-old Parvana is forced by circumstances to become the breadwinner for her family in a war-torn Taliban-ruled Afghanistan. This complex issue-based story is a masterpiece of empathy and will not only grip children in year five, but allow them to empathise, hot-seat, and compare how different their lives are to Parvana's experiences. Highly recommended for year 5 book clubs and topic-based teaching.

Hacker by Malorie Blackman

Vicky's father is accused of stealing over a million pounds from the bank where he works. How can she prove his innocence? A more mature independent reading book for year 5 pupils, this novel will appeal to children who have a strong sense of right and wrong, or who are interested in computers and coding.

When the coronavirus pandemic quarantine period began in Spring/Summer 2020, I realised that lots of people were going to find themselves at home with their children for several weeks/months looking for things to do. So I decided to post a draw-along video every Tuesday and Thursday that parents could watch with their kids and, hopefully, make some nice pictures. They have proved very popular, garnering millions of views across the world. On 21 May 2020 we broke the Guinness World Record for the largest online art lesson when 45,611 households drew a whale with me. From September 2020 lockdown gradually began to ease and kids started going back to school, so I decided to move the #DrawWithRob video slot to Saturdays at 10am BST/GMT so that kids can join in with my Saturday Art Club. And then in August 2021 as life returned to (something like) normal, the videos began to be released slightly more sporadically. But I'm still going! Keep an eye on my social feeds or sign up to my newsletter here to find out when the next video will be released.

Here are all of the videos (scroll down the page). Feel free to watch and share them with anybody and everybody. I'd love to see the results, so please send me your pictures on social media using the hashtag #DrawWithRob. I am @RobBiddulph on Twitter, @rbiddulph on Instagram and robbiddulphauthor on Facebook.
Oh, and please subscribe to my YouTube channel too.

I'm delighted to say that DRAW WITH ROB is now an incredible activity book series (every page features perforated edges so you can easily tear out and display your art). The first book is a Sunday Times number one bestseller, the winner of the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award 2020 and was shortlisted for Children's Illustrated/Non-fiction Book of The Year at the British Book Awards 2021. The second book, Draw With Rob at Christmas, is also a bestseller and was the WHSmith Book of the Month for November 2020. The third book, Draw With Rob: Build A Story, the fourth book, Draw With Rob: Monster Madness, the fifth book, Draw With Rob: Amazing Animals, and the sixth book, Draw With Rob at Halloween, are (guess what) bestsellers too! They are all available to order here.

15+ Best Educational Videos For Kids

This list of YouTube resources is one that you can keep coming back to anytime you feel bored or want to learn something new with your kids!

Another thing to try is to search questions or topics on YouTube. For example, why do bees make honey? Why is the sky blue? You'll be able to then select a video to get a video explanation to supplement your learning.

Scríbhneoirí Bunscoile (Aois 6-12): 'Story-Starter' Fighting Words
Chruthaigh muid an Story-Starter! Tá súil againn go spreagfaidh sé bhur samhlaíocht agus go gcabhróidh sé libh tús a chur le scéal. Is féidir pé rud gur mian leat a athrú sa scéal - ní gá gach smaoineamh ón Story-Startera chur san áireamh.
Conas a sheolfaidh mé mo scéal chugaibh?
Nuair atá an scéal scríofa agat, iarr ar do thuismitheoir/do chaomhnóir é a sheoladh chuig info@fightingwords.ie. TÁBHACHTACH: Cuir na focail Scéal Bunscoile i líne an ábhair.

Bainigí súp as!
Chun an scéal a sheoladh:

Ní mór do na hiarratais ar fad teacht ó sheoladh ríomhphoist tuismitheora nó caomhnóra. Nuair a sheoltar scéal chugainn, ceadaíonn tuismitheoirí/caomhnóirí don scéal a bheith foilsithe ar láithreán gréasáin Fighting Words agus ar na meáin shóisialta.

Seol do chéad ainm, d'aois agus an contae ar as thú má theastaíonn uait go mbeidh siad le feiceáil agus foilseoidh muide do scéal ar líne.

Is féidir le hiarratais a bheith clóscríofa i ríomhphost nó is féidir grianghraf a sheoladh de scéal atá scríofa le lámh.

Fáiltímid roimh scéalta i mBéarla nó i nGaeilge.

Is féidir aon smaointe breise atá agat a chur san áireamh.

Is breá linn scéalta scríofa a fheiceáil chomh maith le léaráidí, greannáin, dánta... bealach ar bith gur maith leat scéal a insint - tá sé go breá!

This is Geata Mata , a free selection of lesson plans and resources for primary school maths classes. Each lesson is comprised of a lesson plan for the teacher (including extra information, timings, etc), exercises for the students, & computational extras.

We create lessons based on "fun" areas of maths (Cryptography, Game Theory, and many more) - while also linking to different areas of the curriculum. This allows students to practice what they have previously learned, while also (hopefully) enjoying and appreciating maths.

Created and designed by a team in the School of Mathematics and Statistics, University College Dublin.

Author and artist Mo Willems launches "Lunch Doodles"

Mo Willems, the artist behind popular children's book series like The Pigeon and Elephant & Piggie, has come to save us all. As schools across the country close because of the coronavirus pandemic, Mr. Willems has stepped in to fill that family quarantine void with Lunch Doodles. In each episode, Willems shows you and your kids how to draw some of his iconic characters which translates to a solid 30 minutes of your kid quietly drawing.

"Lunch Doodles" livestreams each weekday at 1 p.m. EST on the Kennedy Center's website, though Kennedy Center has released the first two episodes on YouTube the next day. "You might be isolated, but you're not alone. You are an art maker. Let's make some together," Willems said in a statement.

In each episode, Willems teaches you how to draw some of his favorite characters and gives little tours of his studio, and even if you don't want to doodle, watching him slowly and methodically draw an elephant is extremely relaxing. You can also send in your kid's drawings and questions to LUNCHDOODLES@kennedy-center.org for a chance to be featured on the show.

"I know a lot of you guys are not in school, you're at home right now because of all the things that are going on," Willems said in the announcement video. "Well guess what? I'm at home too. So for the next couple weeks... I'm going to make drawings with you, I'm gonna show you some stuff about my studio and we're gonna hang out together."

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9zBwuwDRm1/

Believe it or not, Lunch Doodles is working, and by that we mean, kids all over are quietly drawing alongside Willems' broadcast. Some parents are calling it "creative homeschooling" and honestly, do what you gotta do during these trying times.

Other authors and notable folks are stepping up to help entertain during the quarantine. Josh Gad, aka Olaf, is reading bedtime books to kids and you can find all his old streams and videos on his Twitter feed.

Save With Stories has been recruiting dozens of different celebs to read books to kids, which is awesome, because famous actors are great at narrating all the parts.

Plus, Scholastic is providing 20 days of home learning content for free on their website to help all the parents that have suddenly been forced into home schooling.

As families scramble to make sense of this new world, we're grateful for those helping to soften the blow a bit.
