Year 5,
Welcome back! We have certainly hit the ground running this
week and the half term will be very much like that. This week we have converted
between units of measure in maths and today you applied this to designing the floorplan
of a house. In English, you began writing instructions on ‘How to turn your
teacher into a…..’ and these were both brilliantly creative and a little concerning
for myself! You have shared a number of your projects this week and any others
will be shared next week. You also researched, sketched and wrote about your
sporting idols in the afternoons. Well done to those of you who auditioned on Monday,
you made it really hard to choose who got which parts. You now have your parts
and scripts so that you can practise ready for the performance at the end of the half term.
Next week we will be working on area in maths – which you
began in your floorplans today. In English you will finish writing and editing
your instructions and we will be celebrating World Book Day on Thursday. We will begin our
next geography topic of the United Kingdom and this will inform our computing
lesson too. We will also be working on the performance and we are hoping to get
out of bubbles meaning the return of assemblies and clubs.

- 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

Year 5,
We have had another very busy week. In maths you have
problem solved and multiplied with fractions. In English, you have begun
writing some very persuasive letters as Earth to humans, and you applied this
to your learning on copyright in ICT. You considered watercolour techniques in
art, material changes in science and foods in Spanish. You also participated in
a very informative STEM talk about jobs themed around space and began learning
the dances for the play in PE.
Next week, you will finish writing your letters and will
continue working with fractions in maths. You will have a chance to share your
home-learning projects in the afternoons, and will spend the others on dreams
and goals in PSHE, online safety in ICT and the Vikings in history.
Remember:
- You must be signed up to attend clubs
- Auditions are on Monday lunchtime
- Your project is due on Monday
- 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
