Year 5,
You have had a very creative week this week. In English you
have used your research to plan a persuasive letter as Earth in order to
persuade humans to be more environmentally friendly and in maths you have been
adding and subtracting fractions. In the afternoons you have considered
effective use of searches and whether information is fake or not (sorry about
the penguins!). You have also completed your stunning final pieces in art. They
are really well proportioned and shaded. In RE, you have considered symbols
important to Jews and you worked well when separating mixtures in science. We have also had a chat about Lincolnsfield which has hopefully answered some of your questions.
Next week you will be writing your persuasive letters in
English and covering problem solving and multiplying fractions in maths. In art
you will be developing your watercolour skills, and you will consider reversible
and irreversible changes in science. In computing you will be looking at copyright
and you will continue to consider dreams and goals in PSHSE.
Remember:
- You must be signed up to attend clubs
- Your project is due on 7th February
- Swimming is on Wednesday
- Reading – please ensure that you read 5
times a week and record this in your Reading Journal. You MUST have your
reading book and journal in school every day
- Spellings – please practise putting
spellings into sentences. These are now going to be set on TEAMs as well as
shared on the blog.
- TimesTables Rockstars and SumDog – Please
practise on these as it is crucial that you maintain your learning knowledge –
these games help you to maintain what you have already learnt and maybe learn a
little before we begin in class
Have a lovely weekend.

Year 5,
What a busy week. You began the week by becoming Vikings and
learning all about them. You have since written a very long list of facts we
were taught about weapons, clothing, food and practices. You have used our
English lessons to gather information on air pollution, plastic pollution and
deforestation in preparation for next week and in the afternoon you have developed
your sketching and shading skills when recreating insect drawings. IN maths you
have worked more with fractions and in RE you considered symbols with meaning
to Christians.
Next week we will be continuing our English topic with some
persuasive writing and our maths with continue to be based around fractions,
but this time calculating with them. We will be undertaking an experiment in
science and you will complete your final piece in art. RE will be looking at
symbols with meaning to Jews and PSHE will be considering dreams and goals.
Remember:
-
Clubs return next week
- Your project has been set and is due on 7th

Your project for this half term – Artist
Study
This half term I would like you to
focus your project on a particular artist. Your learning outcome should include
a written section and a creative section.
The written part could be a PowerPoint
presentation, a Word processed or a handwritten project. Please ensure that
this is your own work and not copied directly from somewhere else (remember our
learning on copywrite).
The creative part could be a drawing,
painting, model making or sculpture but must be inspired by the artist you have
researched.
This should demonstrate the research
you have put in over the weeks before the deadline of Monday 7th February, when
you will share your learning with the class.
You could
study (but are not restricted to):
Year 5,
It has been another very productive week. You have learnt,
performed and written your own narrative poems; considering rhythm and rhyme.
In maths, you have compared and ordered fractions with different denominators.
You completed your experiments and considered your results in science and you
spent an afternoon designing and creating Viking shields – thank you for
bringing in your cardboard.
Next week we will begin with our Viking workshop day where
you will learn all about the Vikings. Remember to dress up (no uniform required
for the day); in the email sent to parents it suggests what you can use that
you probably already have at home. We will continue with fractions in maths
next week. English will be focus on the environment, which is why your
spellings are themed. We will spend a number of the afternoons based on a short
art project which will develop your art skills and will also have a little
science involved too.
I have already completed your spelling pre-test and have set
your half term project today so these will be available in separate blog posts.
Remember:
- Outdoor clubs (netball and football) return next week
- Swimming is on Wednesday
- Reading – please ensure that you read 5 times a week and record this in your Reading Journal. You MUST have your reading book and journal in school every day
- Spellings – please practise putting spellings into sentences. These are now going to be set on TEAMs as well as shared on the blog.

Year 5,
Well that was a
short first week back! However, we have managed to squeeze a lot in. Most of
you have now shared your Ancient Greece projects; well done for the quality of
these. We have introduced our new class text ‘The Nowhere Emporium’ and
predicted what might happen. You have also evaluated your biscuits form last
term and completed your double-page spreads on the daily lives of ancient
Greeks. You have also selected your poems to perform on Monday.
Next week, you
will perform your poems in groups on Monday’s English lesson and then try
writing some of your own over the week. In maths, you will continue with fractions;
comparing equivalent fractions. You will be creating Viking shields (please
remember your cardboard on Monday or Tuesday) and will begin our next PSHE
topic. You will also get a chance to undertake your science experiments that
were planned last term. We will also resume our guided reading sessions.
Over this half
term we will cover the following:
English
Persuasive letter (environmental focus) – note taking, research from a
range of sources, writing focusing on vocabulary choices, modal verbs, relative
clauses and varied sentence structures.
Poetry (Narrative)– Performance with intonation and movement, writing with
specific vocabulary building for impact.
Narrative (Mystery and suspense) – vocabulary choices, authorial voice,
figurative language, sentences structures for impact.

home)
