 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.

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.

Mrs Cresswell 😊
