Year 5 Classroom and Assignment Resource Links

When searching for information it is important to consider what key search terms are going to be the most relevant to your topic.  During this process it will be advantageous to consider any synonyms.  A thesaurus is an excellent tool for helping you identify synonyms.  Click here and see how many different synonyms you can find for your key search terms. It's a good idea to start searching using a broad search term to help familiarise yourself with the topic, however if your search returns too many results or your looking for a more specific result, begin to narrow your search term down.  See the table below for some examples.
