22.4.22

 Year 5,

We have had a very busy start to the Summer Term! This week you have translated and reflected shapes and patterns in maths. You have continued and edited the openings to your chapters on ‘The Nowhere Emporium’ in English, and you have investigated OS maps for features if towns and cities, and used atlas’ to find out about mountains and hills of the UK before producing bar graphs in geography. You have considered ultimate questions on what makes someone human/ godly in RE and have developed your drawing of people in proportion in art. We also discussed Lincolnsfields in more detail before I met a number of parents this afternoon.

*Separate blog entry below with the slides from the meeting.

 

Next week you will be finishing your chapters in English and continue drawing people in proportion in art. You will be combining your understanding of translation and reflection with co-ordinates and then looking at perimeter in maths. In science you will be considering the forces of air and water resistance and in PSHE we will be learning first aid techniques. You will also draw people in proportion, but this time also showing movement.  

 

Over the half term we will be covering a range of topics, outlined below:

English

Poetry focussing on vocabulary and the use of figurative language

Writing a diary and monologue showing different perspectives

Class text – The Eye of the Wolf.

 

Maths

Reflection and translation; including within a single quadrant

Perimeter and area revision

Working with angles; estimating, measuring and drawing them

Using formal division and multiplication

Looking at scaling and revising the conversion of units.

 

Science – Forces, Living things and their habitats

Geography – The United Kingdom – looking at both the human and physical geography

History – Leisure and Entertainment over recent history

Computing – As we were fortunate enough to undertake the programming workshops last half term, we will be continuing with digital media and completing a little programming and control learning.

              Digital media – Vector drawings and video editing

              Programming and control - Scratch .

Art and Design– Drawing figures, reflection, creating sculpture using Modroc, designing and creating a frame structure

PSHE – Healthy Me -  first aid

              Relationships – Recognising me, online safety, impacts of screen time and relationships with technology

RE – Looking at the sacred texts and stories within them (both Christianity and Judaism). Ultimate questions.

 

We will, of course, also be enjoying our residential at Lincolnsfields this half term too!

 

Remember:

- Medical forms to be returned on Monday

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

-    You must be signed up to attend clubs, which start again next week

-    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.

-   SumDog – Please practise on this 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.
