19.4.24

 Year 5,

You have had a busy first week back. In English, you have recapped your understanding of grammar and reading comprehension. In maths, you have been calculating the perimeter of rectangles, rectilinear shapes and regular polygons, including calculating missing lengths. In PSHE, we discussed the reasons people may begin smoking or drinking alcohol, talking about peer pressure, and the impacts that these may have on individuals. In art, you drew adults and children in proportion and in RE you considered the importance of prayer to some people. This week you have also participated in a KNEX STEM challenge – creating fantastic bulldozers, and have had your first session to become ‘mini police’, which was led by members of Hertfordshire Constabulary. You have also been observing changes in your potato plants.

Next week is cycling proficiency week for many of you. This means that you will spend much of your time outside on your bikes. When you are not doing this, you will be writing your chapter in English and calculating area in maths. You will also have PE and hopefully time for drawing moving figures in art.

 Half term project – Masters of Maths

This half term, your project is to create a game for your classmates to play which covers areas of maths that we have learnt about in class. This game could be a quiz, or could be a board game (or a more creative idea if you have one).

You can focus on one topic or a range of maths which we have covered, such as: place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, shape, fractions, decimals, percentages, area, perimeter, translation and reflection.  

Please ensure that you bring your game to school by Monday 20^th May as we will be playing them sometime that week.

Over the half term we will be covering a range of topics, outlined below:

English

Narrative writing inspired by ‘The Nowhere Emporium’

Non-Fiction – discussion text – Should social media be banned for under 16s?

Class reader (reading for pleasure) – Coming to England, The Nowhere Emporium

 

Maths

Perimeter and area

Statistics – line graphs and timetables

Geometry – angles, polygons and 3D shape

Position and direction – coordinates, symmetry and reflection

Decimals – complements to 1, adding and subtracting decimals

 

Science – Living things and their habitats

History – Leisure and Entertainment over recent history

Computing – Programming and control – Micro:Bits .

Art and Design–creating sculpture using Modroc, Artist focus and printing– Andy Warhol

 PSHE – Healthy Me -  smoking, alcohol, food, first aid

              Relationships (link to English) – Recognising me, online safety, impacts of screen time and relationships with technology

             Mini police

RE – Looking at the sacred texts and how people follow their faith (both Christianity and Judaism).

 

We will, of course, also be enjoying our residential at Lincolnsfields and Bikeability this half term too!

 

Remember:

- Lincolnsfields parent meeting at 2.30pm on Monday

-    PE continues to be on Monday, Thursday and Friday

-    You must be signed up to attend clubs, which start again next week

-    Reading – please ensure that you read 5 times a week and record this in your Reading Journal. You MUST have your reading book and journal in school every day

-    Spellings – please practise putting spellings into sentences as well as practising them.

-   SumDog – Please practise on this as it is crucial that you maintain your learning knowledge – these games help you to maintain what you have already learnt and maybe learn a little before we begin in class

Have a lovely weekend.

28.3.24

 Year 5,

What a half term! You have; planned and begun writing chapters inspired by The Nowhere Emporium; worked with fractions, decimals and percentages, calculating with them and comparing and ordering them; learnt about deserts and focused on the Mojave; created beautiful pieces of artwork inspired by Stephen Wiltshire, using knowledge and skills on pencils for shading; chitted and planted potatoes; and you have rehearsed and performed a fantastic production (I was very proud of you all!). Today you applied your learning on forces to create Easter chick catapults. This isn’t even all of the learning you have done in the four and a half weeks! Well done for an amazing half term and I look forward to seeing you for the next one.

Please continue with your reading and Sumdog but also have a restful break.

See you on Tuesday 16^th April.

Mrs Cresswell 😊

22.3.24

 Year 5,

This has been quite a week! You have spent much of your time rehearsing for the production – which has gone from strength to strength. You have also completed your maths topic of fractions, decimals and percentages, and sanded your wood for your frame structures.

Next week you will be performing your production of Rock Bottom! You will also begin your new topic in maths and continue your narratives in English. We will also be planting our potatoes.

Reminders: 

Monday is your performance to the school

Tuesday 1.30pm is your performance to parents

Wednesday 6.30pm is your performance to parents

You have football on a Monday so please remember your second pair of trainers (otherwise a text will be sent to parents as a reminder for full kit)

-        Clubs –  If you have been signed up, please ensure that you attend as numbers are limited and demand is high.

-        Reading – You have all got reading books and been given your Reading Journals and shown how to write in them. Please ensure that you read and record it at least 5 times a week. You can do the recording; it does not have to be your adult. You must complete a Reading Journal Activity before changing your book and if you are not enjoying your book you must read at least 40 pages and write why you have not been enjoying it in your journal.

-        Spellings – You have your pre-test on Monday and are asked to practise these throughout the week ready for the test on Friday (they will be on the blog). Remember I am looking for improvement.

-        Sumdog - Please remember to use this to practise your maths. Your passwords are in the back of your Reading Journal.

 Any additional home learning provided is optional but must be handed in by Wednesday to be marked before the next is provided on the Friday. Remember, if your home learning is not named, it will not be marked.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.
