 Year 5, What a half term! In this final week, you have written very persuasive letters in English, and then written fantastically detailed non-chronological reports on the Vikings in English / history. In maths, you multiplied with fractions, including mixed numbers. You held an artist gallery on Wednesday, where you shared your half term projects – to see such an incredible range of projects that had been completed to such a high standard was fantastic. You finished your class reader 'Who Let the Gods Out' and began reading the new one 'The Nowhere Emporium'. Today, you found out your parts in the play and we had a read through. You also received a letter explaining the parts of your outfit that may need specific sourcing. Next week is half term. Have an amazing break and I look forward to seeing you refreshed and ready for another very busy (if rather short) half term! Your only home learning for this week is your regular reading, Sumdog and learning your lines f...

 Year 5, This week you have been completing your usual learning while being aware of Children’s Mental Health Week, also linking this to our learning on Core Strengths (resilience, self-esteem and growth mindset). You have had an assembly on the topic and considered ways to support your mental health and wellbeing, along with that of others. On Tuesday, you also learnt about Safer Internet Day and took part in a ‘Live Lesson’ with a few familiar faces discussing AI. In English, you have been planning and begun writing persuasive letters to Mrs Custis trying to tempt her to allow you to turn teachers into all sorts of things for a day. In maths, you completed your topic on multiplication and division, and began multiplying fractions. In computing, you created more complex vector images linked to your English, and today you spent much of your time creating Viking shields after designing them in a history lesson, where you learnt about their weapons and armour. Well done to those of...

Year 5, You have had another busy week. In English, you have written persuasive adverts to sell your potions. In maths, you applied your learning on multiplication to word problems and then began solving short division. In science, you planned, undertook and evaluated your experiments on air resistance. In design and technology, you tested the strengths of different structures and in PSHE you considered different jobs, their salaries, and what you would like to do as a job. Next week, in English, you will be writing more formally but still based on your potions. In maths, you will continue to work with division. It is also Children’s Mental Health week, so we will be completing some learning themed around this. We will also be creating Viking shields for our workshop the following week so please remember to bring in cardboard to create these. Next Friday will be the auditions - you received the piece today.   Half Term Project Your project for this half term – Artist Study...
