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.

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, and others on Monday 27^th June

Have a lovely weekend.

Miss Huntley  😊
