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 2nd 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.
Miss Huntley 😊
