8.10.21

 

Year 5,

You worked really hard this week and it was lovely to see you finishing various pieces of learning today. This week in English, you have finished your explanation texts and edited them to be the best they possibly can. Maths has focussed on you multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000 and you have moved onto working with multiples and factors (and some divisibility rules). Science this week was all about the moon and how it tied in with Earth and in art you produced lovely landscape pictures using one-point perspective. In PSHE, we discussed what all children need in order to learn and the responsibilities that come with those rights, and you made really thoughtful and well-considered contributions. It was lovely to see lots of your parents join us for the harvest assembly today too.

 Next week, we will be writing poems inspired by ‘The Magic Box’ which you came up with ideas for this week. We will be looking at common factors and prime numbers in maths. In geography, we will be focussing on a specific country in South America and researching before creating a piece of work using the facts. In science we will be looking at humans and space and looking at Tim Peak's time on the ISS. Please be sure to bring warm PE kit as it will be outside whatever the weather due to the hall floor being replaced. Remember that this also means that our class assembly is rescheduled for Friday 22^nd October instead of next week (a text was sent to parents). We also have a change to our PE next week which means football will be last thing on Tuesday instead of Monday.

Reminders:

-        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 :-)
