 Year 5, This week you have worked with formal methods of multiplication up to 3 by 2 digits. In English, you have planned persuasive advertisements for your potions, and in science you understood friction, testing it through an investigation of your shoes. In PSHE you considered your goals for the future and in RE you compared the coming of age celebrations of Christians, Jews and other non-religious coming of age experiences.

 Year 5, You have had another varied week of learning where you have worked hard. In English, you have planned and written instructions on how to turn your teacher into a …… . In maths, you finished this round of fractions; subtracting mixed numbers and improper fractions. In science this week, you focused on gravity and how it was discovered and is measured. Computing this week was all about typing speed, word processing and embedding images – you typed up your bread recipes. PSHE this week was all about considering priorities to make you happy and then comparing these to others in the class and then those in the wider world. On Tuesday, you did brilliantly when making bread – you created your chosen bread type and added your chosen flavourings.   Next week, you will begin our new focus in maths – multiplication and division. In English, you will be creating persuasive pieces linked to your recipes, and in history, you will investigate the invasions of the Vikings in Brit...

 Year 5, Welcome back! You have returned with a real zest for learning – well done! This week you have added and subtracted fractions, and have worked on subtracting mixed numbers and word problems. In English, you have adapted and written recipes for your bread from design and technology, also typing this into Word in order to improve your typing speed in computing. In science, you finished our materials topic by considering whether changes are reversible or irreversible, and in history you finished our topic on the Ancient Greeks by considering what they did for the modern world. In PSHE, you were very sensible when discussing the topic of racism and today we spent much of our time discussing and celebrating books as we received such an incredible range of new books for our class library (photographs below). Next week, you will be writing new recipes in English, this time with a twist. In maths, you will be subtracting mixed numbers and answering questions with increasing com...

  Half Term Project Your project for this half term – Artist Study This half term I would like you to focus your project on a particular artist. Your learning outcome should include a written section and a creative section which will be shared in our 'class art gallery afternoon', where we will all move around and learn about each other's artists. The written part could be a Word processed or a handwritten project but must be able to be shown without a screen. Please ensure that this is your own work and not copied directly from somewhere else (remember our learning on copywrite). The creative part could be a drawing, painting, model or sculpture, but must be inspired by the artist you have researched. You do not have to use the same technique as the artist e.g. looking at a painter but creating a sculpture inspired by a piece of their work is fine. This should demonstrate the research you have put in over the weeks before the deadline of Monday 12th February, when you will...
