 Year 5,

It has been quite a week. You have completed a full set of 2017 SATs papers so that you have an understanding of what it is like to sit a test of this type. You have identified, compared and ordered angles in maths and in English you have recapped direct and reported speech while continuing your Nowhere Emporium chapters. In science, you finished learning about forces by studying air resistance with spinners and learning about the importance of levers, pulleys and gears. On Thursday, you had the opportunity to visit Stanborough Lakes for a watersports day, which you all appeared to thoroughly enjoy.

Next week, you will be estimating and measuring angles in maths and in English you will be recapping parenthesis and applying it to your writing. You will also have a chance to share your projects so you must ensure that they are in for the Monday deadline. On Thursday, your will also be attending the Oakmere Mini Marathon in the morning. 

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.

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. 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 😊
