10.6.22

 Year 5,

It has been a busy four-day week. In maths you have been converting between metric and imperial measurements and in English you have planned your balanced argument around whether social media should be banned for people under 16. 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.

Changing me

 

Remember:

-    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 20th June

Have a lovely weekend.
