 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.

Miss Huntley  😊
