Year 5,
It has been yet another busy week and you have completed a
large amount of learning. In maths, you have learnt about working with negative
numbers and then reminded yourselves of decimal numbers and have compared and
ordered them in a range of ways. In English, you have created weird and
wonderful creatures and have planned your explanation texts ready for next
week. You have learnt about why the sun appears to move across the sky and how
we have day and night, and have created lovely posters for the firework poster
competition. You have continued to work on your handwriting in the mornings and
your maths fluency in the afternoons.
Today you have really pushed yourselves in our Spanish learning
when describing the planets of the solar system using only Spanish. You also created
some striking pieces of artwork themed around the work of Gaudi.
Next week you will be writing your explanation texts in English,
I look forward to learning about how I look after all of these amazing
creatures! In maths, you will continue to work with decimal numbers and begin
to look at efficient ways of multiplying by 10, 100 and 1000. Geography will
involve us looking at the mountains of South America and how these impact the
climate we looked at last lesson. In RE we will look at features of the Jewish
place of worship in a similar way to how we looked at the Christian place of
worship last week. You will also have the House Captain elections on Monday and
the first friendship group of the year on Friday.
I have created a new page on the blog which contains all of
the dates for the sharing assemblies over the coming year. Remember that these
are events where the parents of the children listed can come and hear about their
learning. We also have our class sharing assembly on 15th October
which will be a time for all of your parents to come and see what you have been
learning about this half term.
Reminders:
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
have now begun
- Reading
– You have now 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 will have your next 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/Times
Tables Rockstars- Please remember to use these to practise your maths. Your
passwords are now stuck in the back of your Reading Journal.
Have a lovely weekend.
Miss H Huntley :-)
