Year 5,

It has been a great week watching you complete a wide range of learning. In maths, you have been looking at factors and common factors, you have also found prime and composite numbers and completed consolidation activities on these. In English, you have written your ‘The Magic Box’ poems with beautifully creative ideas and descriptions. We had a double computing lesson where you researched facts about Brazil in preparation for your double page spreads and we spend the assembly slots practising handwriting and spellings. On Thursday, we marked Black History Month with a day focussing on influential people who have impacted history and we learnt about the likes of Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa Parks and Jesse Owens. It was lovely to see how engaged and passionate you were about fairness and equality.

Next week is the final week of the half term and we have lots to accomplish. We will be considering mental methods of multiplication and division in maths and in English we will be writing non-chronological reports for our Brazil double-page spread. In the afternoons, we will be practising for our class assembly and potentially completing some art too. Our Year 5 Class Assembly will share lots of the learning we have completed this half term and is at 9am on Friday.

Reminders:

-        Parent consultations are on Thursday am and after school

-        Our class assembly is on Friday at 9am

-        Clubs have now begun and need to be registered for on School Gateway

-        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 stuck in the back of your Reading Journal.

 

    Have a lovely weekend.

      Miss H Huntley :-)

Lincolnsfields 2024 Day 1

 We have had a fun packed first day here at Lincolnsfields. We arrived in glorious sunshine and it continued throughout the day. We began with a quick talk about the safety requirements and expectations and then went straight into an activity. We were orienteering, using maps to get to know the site. The children solved a range of riddles (they were better at this than some of the adults!)  After this, it was lunchtime. We then headed to the woods where we were taken on a walk through them – including some muddy bits. The children then took part in team building challenges in the woodland. They completed ‘The Floor is Lava’ using boards to cross the lava, and ‘The Wind Game’ where they worked together to reach between 2 trees (some were rather a stretch). The children then played Zombies vs Humans and finally returned to the main buildings where they were told their rooms. They then began making their beds – some more successfully than others.  We had dinner, a quick rest...

Lincolnsfields Day 2

 Today was a very busy day with lots of new experiences! After a fairly decent night's sleep, the children were up and out for breakfast at 9am. This was after playing a few games and enjoying balloons as it was one of the children’s birthdays. After breakfast, they participated in 3 Children at War activities. They visited a wartime house and learnt about the different tools, toys and activities in that period. They went into a wartime ‘Digging for Victory’ garden, where they saw an Anderson Shelter and then had the job of putting out an incendiary device which had fallen onto a roof – this required a lot of hard work with a stirrup pump. They also visited a Blitz experience where they learnt about the Blitz from a gentleman who was a child at the time. They learnt about his first hand experiences before then attending a museum on the time. Not only this but they also got to ride in the back of a wartime military vehicle which was used in Normandy in 1942 but is still in working c...
