31.3.23

 Year 5,

It has been a very busy week yet again. You have rehearsed and performed an amazing play – you all did brilliantly!! You have also considered the nets of different 3D shapes in maths and in English you wrote your own positive raps (performing them with great energy today). In art, you drew figures in proportion and then applied this to drawing a figure moving in some way. You also recapped the Easter story in RE, considering the importance of ‘The Last Supper’ and symbolism within it.

You will have an extremely busy half term after Easter so I wish you an enjoyable and restful break before your return on Tuesday 18^th April.

Best wishes,

Mrs Cresswell

24.3.23

 Year 5,

What a week! You have spent much of it rehearsing for your performances which are next week, and the show is coming together nicely. You have also created your own birds using engineering skills and then written non-chronological reports on these in our English sessions. You have also had the opportunities to participate in a science workshop which had lots of practical experiments, and you visited Bolton’s Park Farm to learn about their livestock (chickens, sheep and cows).

Next week it is show time! You will have some more rehearsals on Monday, perform to the school on Tuesday, and then perform to parents on Wednesday afternoon and Thursday evening - please arrive at school between 6 and 6.10pm. You will also be continuing with learning about the geography of the UK, this time the physical geography. You will be considering the features of cubes and cuboids, and will be looking at how nets of shapes work.

Remember:

-    PE is on Monday, Thursday and Friday. You must have your kit in school

-        Reading – please ensure that you read 5 times a week and record this in your Reading Journal-this does not have to be the reading of your school book only. 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.

17.3.23

 Year 5,

We've had another busy week with lots going on. This week you have written an instruction text on how to turn your teacher into all sorts of weird and wonderful things! In maths, you applied learning on area and perimeter to problem solving and calculated the perimeter of composite shapes. As part of science week, you have participated in STEM talks on the moon and connecting communities with power. You have researched birds in preparation for next week’s competition. You also planted the potatoes that have been chitting for the last couple of weeks, and had the opportunity to participate in a drumming workshop which was great fun.

Next week, you will be writing about your bird in English. In maths, you will be working with volume and capacity. We will be continuing the science week elements, by learning about air and water resistance in science and you will create your birds for the competition. As it is our final week before the production, we will be spending most of the week’s afternoons in rehearsals so that we are ready. Remember to bring your outfits in on Monday as this will enable us to work out what we have and what is needed. On Tuesday, we also have the exciting chance to visit Bolton’s Park Farm where we will be learning about farming, animals and their lifecycles, and seeing a few animals in the process – be sure to bring your wellington boots to school and to arrive at school at 8.30am on Tuesday so that we have time to register, walk there and arrive in time.

Half term project – this should be complete by Monday

This half term, your project is all about the production. You must learn your lines, cues and actions. You must learn the lyrics and dances to the songs. You also need to organise your costumes as per the letter you have been sent home with. If you are unsure, please ask.

Remember:

-    PE is on Monday, Thursday and Friday. You must have your kit in school

- You must have your script in school every day as we will have rehearsals at different times

-        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.

10.3.23

 Year 5,

This week you have been busy completing a wide variety of learning. In English, you planned your instruction text, and in maths you calculated area and perimeter. You marked maths day by applying your understanding of area and perimeter to create the floorplan of a house. In art, you considered what new life and spring can be represented by and then sketched flowers and animals that show this. Some of you began turning these sketched into monoprints. You have also been working hard on rehearsing for the production and were joined by Ricky from Newsround to learn about children in Ukraine. SOme have requested the link to his Newsround special - please remember to talk to an adult about this and to discuss anything that may upset you. BBC iPlayer - Newsround Specials - Ukraine: The Children’s Story  

Next week you will be writing your instructions in English, and working on perimeter in maths. You will have a chance to print your designs in art and will be marking science week with talks and work on forces. You will be rehearsing for the production (you must be ‘off script’) and will finish sharing the art projects from last half term.

Half term project

This half term, your project is all about the production. You must learn your lines, cues and actions. You must learn the lyrics and dances to the songs. You also need to organise your costumes as per the letter you have been sent home with. If you are unsure, please ask.

3.3.23

 Year 5,

I hope you have had a positive week and enjoyed the learning set for you. In English, you have revised grammar, continued working on our class text and have celebrated World Book Day. In maths, you have been problem solving and looking at converting between units of measure. You have also learnt about Passover and the Seder Plate in RE.

Next week we will be beginning a new focus for English which involves instructions, and in maths we will be moving onto area. We will be printing in art, and we will be finding time to rehearse for the show.

Half term project

This half term, your project is all about the production. You must learn your lines, cues and actions. You must learn the lyrics and dances to the songs. When we have looked at what we have, you may be asked to organise some of a costume (this will be ready soon).

-    PE is on Monday, Thursday and Friday. You must have your kit in school

- You must have your script in school every day as we will have rehearsals at different times
