27.1.23

 Year 5,

You have had an interesting week! We spent the week using a range of resources to research air pollution, plastic pollution and deforestation in English. In maths, we have compared and ordered fractions with denominators that are multiples and compared fractions of amounts. In computing, you continued to develop image-creating skills by forming vector images using layering of shapes. You learnt about Abraham and his importance to Jews in RE and in PSHE you thought about the jobs that you would like to do and the salaries of different professions. On Tuesday, you all looked great dressed for our Viking day, which I hope you enjoyed as much as I did!

 

Next week, you will continue to work with fractions but this time adding and subtracting them. In English, you will use all of your research to plan and write a letter (with a difference!) You will develop more skills in computing while creating images, and will learn about more forces in science. We will also continue with our D+T topic of frame structures this week, considering what makes an effective frame structure and designing your own.

 

Half Term Project

Your project for this half term – Artist Study

This half term I would like you to focus your project on a particular artist. Your learning outcome should include a written section and a creative section.

The written part could be a PowerPoint presentation, a Word processed or a handwritten project. Please ensure that this is your own work and not copied directly from somewhere else (remember our learning on copywrite).

The creative part could be a drawing, painting, model making or sculpture but must be inspired by the artist you have researched.

This should demonstrate the research you have put in over the weeks before the deadline of Monday 6th February, when you will share your learning with the class. 

You could study (but are not restricted to):

•           Stephen Wiltshire

•           Vincent Van Gogh

•           Barbara Hepworth

•           Charles Rennie Mackintosh

•           Freida Kahlo

Remember:

-    PE is on Monday, Thursday and Friday

-        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.

-        TimesTables Rockstars and SumDog – Please practise on these 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.

20.1.23

 Year 5,

It has been another very productive week. You have learnt, performed and written your own descriptive poems; considering rhythm and the message. In maths, you have found equivalent fractions, and compared fractions with different denominators. You spent an afternoon designing and creating Viking shields – thank you for bringing in your cardboard. In RE, you considered the different symbolic items in Judaism, including looking at some of them in class. You had a chance to bake your bread from last half term, which looked fantastic (despite our slight error with the fire alarm and a visit from the Fire Brigade!)

A number of children have asked for the recipes we used - please see the links below:

White bread/ Wholewheat bread - Easy bread rolls recipe | BBC Good Food 

Soda bread - Kids' soda bread recipe - BBC Food 

Tortilla - Tortillas recipe | BBC Good Food

Next week you will have our Viking workshop day (Tuesday) where you will learn all about the Vikings. Remember to dress up (no uniform required for the day); in the email sent to parents it suggests what you can use that you probably already have at home. We will continue with fractions in maths next week. English will be focus on the environment again, but in a different format.

13.1.23 including project

 Year 5,

Well that was a quick first week back! However, we have managed to squeeze a lot in. We have finished our previous class text ‘The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane’, introduced our new class text ‘The Nowhere Emporium’ and predicted what might happen. You have also decided your final bread design considering seasonality and culture. You have also written your narrative section based on Mr Wuffles in English, and continued to work with fractions in maths. You have learnt about life in Britain before the arrival of the Vikings in history and considered Gravity as a force in science.

 

Next week, you will be making your bread. You will be producing poems with a focus on vocabulary choice for impact and will have an opportunity to perform poems in class. In maths, you will continue with fractions; comparing and converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers. You will be creating Viking shields (please remember your cardboard on Monday or Tuesday) and will continue our PSHE topic of Dreams and Goals. As of next week, PE will be on Monday, Thursday and Friday so please ensure you have your kit in school.

 

Over this half term we will cover the following:

English 

Persuasive letter (environmental focus) – note taking, research from a range of sources, writing focusing on vocabulary choices, modal verbs, relative clauses and varied sentence structures. 

Poetry (environmental focus)– Performance with intonation and movement, writing with specific vocabulary building for impact. 

Spellings – pre-test, test and practise (please also practise at home) 

Handwriting – practise of specific formations and in presentation of learning at pace 

 

Maths 

Comparing fractions

Adding and subtracting fractions

Problem solving using all four operations

Multiply fractions by whole numbers

Fraction problem solving

Measure – converting units of measure

Area

Volume and capacity

Problem solving percentages

 

Science 

 Forces; understanding the impact of gravity as a force; identify the effects of air resistance, water resistance and friction, that act between moving surfaces; recognise that some mechanisms, including levers, pulleys and gears, allow a smaller force to have a greater effect; plan and undertake experiments to explore the knowledge above.

 

Computing  

Creating and publishing; using the internet and different tools available, researching with refined searches, creating a webpage.

 

Art and D&T

Designing and creating frame structures using woodworking tools.

 

History

Studying the Anglo-Saxons vs Vikings, with a focus on Vikings. Including our Viking workshop on Tuesday 24^th January.

 

RE 

Considering symbolic ways of expressing meaning, exploring belonging to a community, individual commitment and religious leadership.

PSHE

Dreams and goals
