 Year 5,

Another full-on week and another impressive range of learning. This week you have painted and written beautiful pieces of learning relating to Remembrance, including some very poignant cinquains. You demonstrated fantastic levels of respect and real consideration of others when completing the 2 minutes silence. In Maths, you considered a range of mental methods for addition and subtraction and in science you identified and classified different materials that are used around school; then considering the reason for their use. In History, you studied the geography of Greece and ancient Greece as we began our new topic.

Next week is ‘Anti-Bullying week’ and we will be theming our learning on Monday around this. Be sure to wear odd socks on Monday as it is ‘Odd Socks Day’ to celebrate that everyone is different. You will be beginning a new focus in English and it will result in a myth over the next few weeks. You will be using your refreshed knowledge of fronted adverbials and expanded noun phrases when writing. In maths, you will be developing your understanding of column addition and subtraction (including decimals). You will be looking at the differences in people in ancient Greece in history and in art we will complete an artist study on Andy Warhol.

Reminders:

- Your project has been set and is on the blog below

-        Monday is Odd Socks Day

-         Friday is Children in Need

-        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.
