24.6.22

 Year 5,

You have spent this week learning about a range of topics. In English, you began studying Macbeth through a comic style text and some cartoon videos. You also learnt and performed lines as the witches, recording and briefly editing these. In Maths, you revisited converting times and then solved problems involving timetables. You have continued to study the caterpillars in science and have learnt about the lifecycles of flowering plants and asexual and sexual reproduction in plants. You also dissected lilies to identify the parts of a flower. In history, you considered how music has changed over time and saw a range of different music players which were kindly brought in by Mrs Onley. Thursday afternoon was Sports Day, where you impressed with your determination. Michaela and Sunari also joined us today where you were expected to work together and support each other in teams to complete a ‘floor is lava’ style challenge.

 Next week we will be spending a number of lessons on the PSHE ‘Changing Me’ topic. These will include lessons and resources which your adults had the opportunity to view this week. In Maths you will consolidate your learning on timetables and solve some problems using them. In English, you will focus on writing about the murder of King Duncan through the form of a newspaper report, with a focus on passive voice.

Your project for this half term was set on Monday and is repeated below.

This half term your project is going to focus on a book that you have read during Year 5. It can be a library, home or school reading book; fiction or non-fiction. It should be a book which you have enjoyed reading and I would like you to think of a creative way to convince others to read this book. It may even be used to persuade future Year 5 children to read it. Please ensure that you can summarise the book, explain why you enjoyed the book and what about it you enjoyed. Consider the age range you would recommend it for and why. To present your book you could (but are not limited to):

•          Film a book review
•          Create a story box (a decorated box filled with items which represent the story)
•          Produce a model to represent a character / event
•          Create a mood-board linked to the different parts of the book

 Please hand in your creative book review by Monday 11th July.

 

Remember:

-    Parent Consultations are on Monday morning and Thursday afternoon

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

-    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

- Some of you have your sharing assembly on Monday 27^th June

Have a lovely weekend.

17.6.22

 Year 5,

It has been a busy and rather warm week this week but you have still got a lot of learning completed. In English, you have written balanced discussions on whether or not social media should be banned for people under 16. In maths, you have been problem solving using scaling in various forms including fractions, decimals and percentages. You have sawn and sanded wooden pieces ready to form your frame structures and you have continued to study the lifecycles of different animals, including the arrival of 5 caterpillars which we will be observing over the half term. You considered the impact of events after WW2 on leisure and entertainment in history, and in PSHE you considered how the small things can make a difference.

 

Next week will be equally busy but potentially a little cooler. You will finish and edit your discussion texts and then we will begin studying Macbeth by William Shakespeare. In maths, we will recap telling the time and the reading of timetables. In science, you will be studying reproduction in plants and the parts of a plant, which will cross over with art. You will also be participating in Sports Day on Thursday afternoon and Michaela will be working with us next Friday.

In history you learnt about the different forms of leisure and entertainment at the beginning of the 1900s and the discovered how this changed with the outbreak for the 2^nd world war. You have begun studying lifecycles by researching a bird of your choice and its lifecycle in science and in RE you considered the meaning for Christians behind the lines of the Lord’s Prayer.

Next week you will be writing your balanced arguments as well as reading more of our class book. In maths we will be problem solving and in science you will continue to consider different lifecycles. In history you will be learning about some key events since WW2 which have impacted leisure and entertainment in Britain and in PSHE you will consider specific areas of online safety.

Over this half term we will cover the following:

English 

Balanced argument (social media focus) – note taking, research from a range of sources, writing focusing on vocabulary choices, modal verbs, relative clauses and varied sentence structures. 

Poetry (take one poet)– Performance with intonation and movement, writing with specific vocabulary building for impact.
