 Year 5,

It has been quite a week. In English you have studied Macbeth and have begun preparing a newspaper report on the murder of King Duncan. In maths you have completed your work on timetables by interpreting and creating school lesson timetables. You considered how seaside holidays have changed over the 20th and into the 21st century in history. You have also taken part in a range of PSHE lessons which have focussed on puberty and conception. You were generally mature and asked lots of well-considered questions.  Remember – if you have any questions please ask your parent/guardian or an adult who you trust.

 

Next week we will be writing newspaper reports and continuing our reading of ‘The eye of the wolf’. In maths, we will learn about 2D shapes, irregular and regular polygons, and applying understanding of rectangles to problem solving. In science, you will be combining it with maths to interpret data and create graphs on the gestation of mammals and we will be treated to a performance of Mary Poppins at Mount Grace school on Wednesday.

 

Your project for this half term was set last week 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:

-    The Apprentice is on Friday - all items are between 50p and £2 so please be sensible with the amount of money you bring, and try to bring it in small coins. One of the items available will be temporary tattoos. If these are a problem due to allergies, please let me know.

-    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.

Have a lovely weekend.

Miss Huntley  😊

Lincolnsfields 2024 Day 1

 We have had a fun packed first day here at Lincolnsfields. We arrived in glorious sunshine and it continued throughout the day. We began with a quick talk about the safety requirements and expectations and then went straight into an activity. We were orienteering, using maps to get to know the site. The children solved a range of riddles (they were better at this than some of the adults!)  After this, it was lunchtime. We then headed to the woods where we were taken on a walk through them – including some muddy bits. The children then took part in team building challenges in the woodland. They completed ‘The Floor is Lava’ using boards to cross the lava, and ‘The Wind Game’ where they worked together to reach between 2 trees (some were rather a stretch). The children then played Zombies vs Humans and finally returned to the main buildings where they were told their rooms. They then began making their beds – some more successfully than others.  We had dinner, a quick rest...

Lincolnsfields Day 2

 Today was a very busy day with lots of new experiences! After a fairly decent night's sleep, the children were up and out for breakfast at 9am. This was after playing a few games and enjoying balloons as it was one of the children’s birthdays. After breakfast, they participated in 3 Children at War activities. They visited a wartime house and learnt about the different tools, toys and activities in that period. They went into a wartime ‘Digging for Victory’ garden, where they saw an Anderson Shelter and then had the job of putting out an incendiary device which had fallen onto a roof – this required a lot of hard work with a stirrup pump. They also visited a Blitz experience where they learnt about the Blitz from a gentleman who was a child at the time. They learnt about his first hand experiences before then attending a museum on the time. Not only this but they also got to ride in the back of a wartime military vehicle which was used in Normandy in 1942 but is still in working c...
