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.
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 share your learning with the class.
You could study (but are not restricted to):
• Stephen Wiltshire
• Vincent Van Gogh
• Barbara Hepworth
• Charles Rennie Mackintosh
• Freida Kahlo
Typical! It seems like I fail at everything. I wanted to invent amazing things like Lady Lava’s Eggheads, but it always ends in disaster. I’ll never find the secret to success.
Please bring in at least one large piece of cardboard by Tuesday so that we can create shields at some point in the week.
Auditions are on Friday.
As per the newsletter sent out last week, lip salves and balms, and hand cream are considered medications so must only be brought in to the office with a medical form for use.
You must be wearing grey tights, not black - this is on the school website
Your other PE day is now Thursday instead of Wednesday. You need full kit
- Clubs – These have now resumed. If you have been signed up, please ensure that you attend as numbers are limited and demand is high.
- Reading – You have 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.
- Spellings – You have your pre-test on Monday and are asked to practise these throughout the week ready for the test on Friday (they will be on the blog). Remember I am looking for improvement.
- Sumdog - Please remember to use this to practise your maths. Your passwords are in the back of your Reading Journal.
Any additional home learning provided is optional but must be handed in by Wednesday to be marked before the next is provided on the Friday. Remember, if your home learning is not named, it will not be marked.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Mrs H Cresswell 😊
