Year 5,

This has been quite a week. You have written diaries as Herakles, considered the importance of Jerusalem to multiple faiths and learnt how to tell the time in Spanish. In Maths, you have developed your use of addition and subtraction including written methods and in History considered whether you’d rather be Spartan or Athenian – with some great reasons given. Alongside this, you have participated in Anti-Bullying week through your odd socks on Monday, creating anti-racism ribbons and creating anti-bullying mini-movies from notes, to scripts, to filming and editing. 

Next week, you will continue to develop your formal written methods in Maths but this time with multiplication. We will finish reading ‘The 12 labours of Herakles’ in English and then begin to plan your own version. We will also continue to read ‘Who let the gods out’ and find out a little more about Thanatos’ plan. In Science, we will plan and undertake an investigation. Our History will look at something you were rather enthusiastic about – Ancient Greek warfare and Art will continue to be inspired by Andy Warhol.

Please remember that swimming begins next week so you will have that in a Wednesday morning instead of your Thursday afternoon slot.

Well done to those of you who have already begun to consider your project (in a blog entry below)- I have heard about some fantastic and exciting ideas.

Reminders:

Your project has been set and is on the blog below

-        Wednesday is swimming

-        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  :-)
