13.5.22

 Year 5,

We have had a busy week with lots of different learning. In English, you used our trip to Lincolnsfields as inspiration for a leaflet to persuade others to visit. In Maths, you measured and drew angles, and calculated missing angles. You have also undertaken an investigation to learn about water resistance in science, and created vector drawings in computing. You considered emotions and warning signs of these in PSHE and with our visitor today. You have also had a try at some papers to show what you have learnt so far.

Next week is Walk to School week so please try to walk as much as you can. In class, you will be focussing on poetry in English and calculation in maths. You will also be completing some more papers based on maths and English- remember we said that its not about the scores, its about me seeing what you have remembered and what we need to cover in more detail. You will also have a couple of PSHE sessions based on friendships and relationships.

You have chosen our class song from the 60s to be 'The Monkees- I'm a Believer'. Please find time to listen and practise using the link attached - (54) I'm a Believer - YouTube 

Below I re-post the project from the blog on 29^th April, as a number of you have said that you have not yet begun.

Half term project – Masters of Maths

This half term, your project is to create a game for your classmates to play which covers areas of maths that we have learnt about in class. This game could be created online, could be a quiz, or could be a board game (or a more creative idea if you have one).

You can focus on one topic or a range of maths which we have covered, such as: place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, shape, nets, fractions, decimals, percentages, area, perimeter, translation and reflection, or angles.  

Please ensure that you bring your game to school by Monday 23^rd May as we will be playing them sometime that week.

 

Remember:

-    PE can sometimes move so please ensure your kit is school in every day

-    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.

-   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.
