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 16th April.

Mrs Cresswell 😊

15.3.24

 Year 5,

What a week! This week in English you began writing your narrative chapter and in maths you worked with decimals, including rounding them. To mark British Science Week, you investigated water resistance, participated in a workshop and created paper trees using engineering skills. You also spent time learning about the work of Stephen Wiltshire in art, and the different pencil types for shading; then applying this is buildings and cityscapes. You have produces beautiful pieces that you should be really proud of!

Next week, you will be spending much of the week in rehearsals, but you will also be learning about percentages in maths and continuing with your narrative in English.

Your half term project is to learn your lines and the songs for Rock Bottom, and to organise your outfit – which should have been in school today.

 

 Reminders: 

You should be script-free -you should have learnt all of your lines and the lines before yours. This includes songs.

8.3.24

 Year 5,

This week you have planned a narrative in English, inspired by our class text. You have been extremely creative with these. In maths, you have applied your learning on fractions to decimals; focusing on tenths, hundredths and thousandths. Today you began looking at the new geography topic of Deserts and reminded yourselves of the different biomes that exist. You have also continued to rehearse for the production, and have been working on the songs and dances.  

 Next week you will be writing your narrative chapter in English. In maths, you will continue to work with fraction and decimals. It is Science Week so we will also be taking part in lots of science learning. We will finish our topic of Forces, participate in a workshop, and complete an engineering challenge. Alongside all of this, you will also continue your art and rehearsals.

 

Your half term project is to learn your lines and the songs for Rock Bottom, and to organise your outfit.


 Reminders: 

You should be script-free next week -you should have learnt all of your lines by then
