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.
Miss H Huntley :-)
