1.3.24

 Year 5,

You have returned to the half term ready to go and this has been needed for the week. You have not only begun rehearsals but you have also completed lots of learning. You have finished our maths topic of fractions, and your double page spreads on the Vikings. You have begun considering cityscapes and different ways to create them in art, also learning about the work of Stephen Wiltshire. In English, you have revised parenthesis and relative clauses, and applied these to pictures which could relate to our new class reader; The Nowhere Emporium. You also had a STEM talk on trees today.

 Next week, you will continue to base your writing on the Nowhere Emporium and you will begin the new maths topic of decimals and percentages. You will have more rehearsals, as well as your music lesson on the songs. You will also begin your new geography topic.

 Your half term project is to learn your lines and the songs for Rock Bottom, and to organise your outfit.

 Reminders: 

You have taken home your reports today - please ensure that you give them to your adults.            

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 other PE day is Thursday. You need full kit

-        Clubs –  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  😊
