28.4.23

 Year 5,

This week you have been very busy with your learning. In English, you have begun writing your own chapters in the style of Ross MacKenzie and completing prefix and suffix tasks in grammar sessions. In Maths, you have calculated with percentages and been problems solving across fractions, decimals and percentages. In geography, you have written letters to family and friends about visiting the coasts of the UK and in science you tested your theories of water resistance by undertaking an experiment. In PSHE, you have now learnt and recalled some very important 1^st aid skills.

Next week is shorter because of the Bank Holiday and super busy as 22 of you have Bikeability too! We will also be continuing our stories in English and working with percentages before moving onto reflection and translation in maths. We will also fit in some time for you to practise your Bhangra dance before the Coronation celebration on Friday. 

 Half term project – Masters of Maths

This half term, your project is to create a game for your classmates to play which covers areas of maths that we have learnt about in class. This game could be created online, could be a quiz, or could be a board game (or a more creative idea if you have one).

You can focus on one topic or a range of maths which we have covered, such as: place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, shape, nets, fractions, decimals, percentages, area, perimeter, translation and reflection, or angles.  

Please ensure that you bring your game to school by Monday 22^nd  May as we will be playing them sometime that week.

Have a lovely long weekend and I will see you on Tuesday.

21.4.23 including half term project and overview

  Year 5,

We have had a very busy start to the Summer Term! This week, in English, you have considered a range of ‘Wonders’ inspired by ‘The Nowhere Emporium’. You have then begun planning your own chapter. In maths, you have recognised and calculated with percentages, also finding relationships between fractions, decimals and percentages. You have learnt about the rivers and coasts of the UK in geography and have considered the health implications of smoking and vaping in PSHE. This afternoon, you have finished creating your 3D sculptures of people inspired by your drawings of people in proportion, and this morning you had your class photo. We also discussed Lincolnsfields in more detail before I met a number of parents in the afternoon.

*Separate blog entry below with the slides from the meeting.

 

Next week you will be planning and beginning the writing of your chapters in English. In maths you will be applying your knowledge of percentages to problem solving. You will be writing your letters about a visit to the coast in geography and will be sharing your likes and dislikes of food in Spanish. In science you will be considering the force of water resistance and in PSHE we will be learning first aid techniques.
