21.7.23

 Year 5,

Another year over! It seems like only a few weeks ago I was welcoming you into the classroom but the time has come for you to become Year 6. This week you have finished writing narratives which show how far you have come. You have looked forward in PSHE and have created river courses in geography, and of course you watched the Y6s beat the teachers in rounders (we’ll see you for the rematch next year!)

Myself and Mrs Onley wanted to thank you and your adults for the kind messages and gifts we have received, and to wish you all the best for the coming year (don’t forget to come and say hello).

Have a restful break and enjoy whatever you are doing over the summer.

See you in September.

Best wishes,

Mrs Cresswell

 Year 5,

This week has had plenty to keep you busy. You have begun writing your narratives inspired by the witches of Macbeth (what I have read so far is great!) In maths, you have drawn and interpreted line graphs, and this continued into computing when you input data and produced line graphs. You then interpreted these in science as they were based on the growth of a foetus. In science, you also considered changes that happen throughout a human’s life cycle. On Thursday, you had the opportunity to spend some time in Year 6 and today you were treated to a special assembly with our school pianists performing. You have also begun sharing your projects on rivers, which are proving to be very informative.

 

Next week is our final week together in Year 5. We will remain on timetable for much of the week. In maths, you will study 3D shapes and in English you will finish writing your narratives. In geography, you will study the courses of rivers and their features and you will share your projects. You will also have PSHE where you will be considering the near future, and Spanish where you will continue to develop your discussion around opinions of sports.

Remember:

- You must still be wearing full uniform - a number of children are coming in without correct shoes, socks or hair ties

-    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

-   SumDog – Please practise on this 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.

 Year 5,

This week you have worked hard and been mature when necessary. In English, you have planned a narrative inspired by Macbeth, and in maths you have solved problems using the four operations. Our afternoons have been spent learning about male and female body changes through puberty, and how this enables potential conception. We also learnt about different families and how they may or may not have a child. In geography, you recapped the water cycle, producing an artistic diagram using the tools you thought were most appropriate for the task. This week you have also harvested, cooked and eaten the potatoes that we have been growing to learn about asexual reproduction in plants, and you participated in a circus skills workshop which you all seemed to thoroughly enjoy.

Next week, you will begin writing your narrative in English. In maths, you will be drawing and interpreting graphs, and this will continue into computing. In science you will consider the human life cycle, and in PSHE you will have your questions answered. On Thursday, you will spend some time with your new teacher and your parents will have the opportunity to attend a meeting with them too. On Friday, it is non-uniform with donations for the PTA. Over the week, you will also have the opportunity to share your projects.

 

Half-term project - River study

 This half term your project is going to focus on a river of your choice. I would like you to be able to teach the groups you present to all about the river. 

You must teach us about:

- location of the river

- human features of the river

- physical features of the river

- flora and fauna around the river

- how the river changes from the beginning (source) to the end (mouth) 

- any interesting things about the river

This project can be share in any format. It could be (but is not limited to) a poster, model with labels, handwritten project, PowerPoint presentation.

 Please hand in your project by Monday 10th July.  

Remember:

- Parent meet the teacher is Thursday at 4.30 or 5.30

- Friday is non-uniform for a donation for the PTA

- You must still be wearing full uniform - a number of children are coming in without correct shoes, socks or hair ties

-    PE can sometimes move so please ensure your kit is school in every day

-    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.

-   SumDog – Please practise on this 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.
