1.4.22

 Year 5,

What a way to end the Term! You have delivered four amazing performances this week and have done yourselves proud! Alongside the performances you have also worked with nets of 3D shapes in maths and written part of your chapter in English. You have learnt about, and produced learning on, Passover and Easter in RE.

Next half term will be equally as busy; with it including double design and technology learning, the usual subjects that we cover and our residential. We will finish our geography topic of the UK and then begin our history topic of Leisure and entertainment throughout the 20^th century. We will continue ‘The Nowhere Emporium’ and begin our new book for the half term. You will also be set your new half term project.

 

Remember:

-    PE has now returned to being on Monday, Thursday and Friday

-    You must be signed up to attend clubs

-    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 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

 

We have our trip to Lincolnsfields a few weeks into next half term. We will have a meeting for parents on Friday 22nd April at 2.30pm, but I have included the kit list below in case you want to get ahead.
