 Year 5,

This week you have concluded your narrative in English and solved addition problems with fractions in maths. In art, you refreshed your skills with watercolour and colour blended for a winter theme. You then combined your watercolours with fine line perspective drawing to create winter landscapes. This week you have completed a STEM Christmas quiz and used coding and micro:bits to create winter themed displays. You were also fantastic in your Carol Concert rehearsal today – I look forward to seeing you perform on Monday evening.

Next week is a half week. You will have a chance to watch the Foundation and KS1 performances, and to have a Christmas party. In RE, you will learn about incarnation and how it is linked to Christmas, and in science you will be learning about mixtures. Maths next week will involve reading and plotting co-ordinates, with a Christmas theme.

I have not set any additional home learning this week as I would like you to spend the time practising the songs for the Carol Concert and participating in the Sumdog competition.

Reminders: 

You have been working on the songs for the Carol Service which is on Monday evening. Here is the link to the video organised by Ms Lawrence: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWc1g5zqMrQ   

            You have football on a Monday so please remember your second pair of trainers (otherwise a text will be sent to parents as a reminder for full kit)

Your Christmas party is on Tuesday afternoon. You can bring a change of ‘party’ clothes for the afternoon if you wish.

 -        Reading – You have now all got reading books and been given your Reading Journals and shown how to write in them. Please ensure that you read and record it at least 5 times a week. You can do the recording; it does not have to be your adult. You must complete a Reading Journal Activity before changing your book and if you are not enjoying your book you must read at least 40 pages and write why you have not been enjoying it in your journal.

--        Sumdog - Please remember to use this to practise your maths. Your passwords are now in the back of your Reading Journal.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Mrs H Cresswell  😊

Lincolnsfields 2024 Day 1

 We have had a fun packed first day here at Lincolnsfields. We arrived in glorious sunshine and it continued throughout the day. We began with a quick talk about the safety requirements and expectations and then went straight into an activity. We were orienteering, using maps to get to know the site. The children solved a range of riddles (they were better at this than some of the adults!)  After this, it was lunchtime. We then headed to the woods where we were taken on a walk through them – including some muddy bits. The children then took part in team building challenges in the woodland. They completed ‘The Floor is Lava’ using boards to cross the lava, and ‘The Wind Game’ where they worked together to reach between 2 trees (some were rather a stretch). The children then played Zombies vs Humans and finally returned to the main buildings where they were told their rooms. They then began making their beds – some more successfully than others.  We had dinner, a quick rest...

Lincolnsfields Day 2

 Today was a very busy day with lots of new experiences! After a fairly decent night's sleep, the children were up and out for breakfast at 9am. This was after playing a few games and enjoying balloons as it was one of the children’s birthdays. After breakfast, they participated in 3 Children at War activities. They visited a wartime house and learnt about the different tools, toys and activities in that period. They went into a wartime ‘Digging for Victory’ garden, where they saw an Anderson Shelter and then had the job of putting out an incendiary device which had fallen onto a roof – this required a lot of hard work with a stirrup pump. They also visited a Blitz experience where they learnt about the Blitz from a gentleman who was a child at the time. They learnt about his first hand experiences before then attending a museum on the time. Not only this but they also got to ride in the back of a wartime military vehicle which was used in Normandy in 1942 but is still in working c...
