Year 5,
Our penultimate week of this half term has been another great one. You
have been determined and resilient as well as hardworking. Your researching
skills have really strengthened and your research on Brazil has led to a great
start on your English. In Maths, you have absolutely flown and shown great
confidence. It was lovely to see you present your learning so well in our class
assembly too!
Next week we will be ensuring that we finish off our writing and continue
reading ‘The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane’. We will be developing your
understanding of different types of number in Maths. You will be creating your
piece of writing to demonstrate your learning in Geography, hopefully using
some of your art skills too.
Your project is due in on Monday so please bring this in and be
ready to share it with the class.
Your project for this
half term – Exploring Space
As you know, this
half term we are studying space in Science. I would like you to study some of
the areas of space that you have an interest in. Your learning outcome could be
a PowerPoint, a Word processed or handwritten project, a model or sculpture. This
should demonstrate the research you have put in over the weeks before the
deadline of Monday 17th October, when you will share your learning with the
class.
You could study (but
are not restricted to):
The moon landings
Could there be life
on other planets?
Black holes, meteors
and other space features
Constellations of
stars
You could create (but
are not restricted to):
-
A model of a planet
-
A game themed around space
-
A story based in space
-
A written project on space features
Reminders:
You have football
on a Monday so please remember your second pair of trainers (otherwise a text
will be sent to parents as a reminder for full kit)
- Clubs
have now begun. If you have been signed up, please ensure that you attend as
numbers are limited and demand is high.
- Reading
– You have all got reading books and been given your Reading Journals and shown
how to write in them. Please ensure that you read and record it at least 5
times a week. You can do the recording; it does not have to be your adult. You
must complete a Reading Journal Activity before changing your book and if you
are not enjoying your book you must read at least 40 pages and write why you
have not been enjoying it in your journal.
- Spellings
– You have had your pre-test today instead of on Monday and are asked to
practise these throughout the week ready for the test on Friday (they will be
on the blog). Remember I am looking for improvement.
- Sumdog/Times
Tables Rockstars- Please remember to use these to practise your maths. Your
passwords are now in the back of your Reading Journal.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Mrs H Cresswell 😊
