Year 5,
This week has been an unusual week as many of you have been
completing cycling proficiency – well done for your hard work and perseverance!
We have also learnt about calculating area in maths, and writing your chapters
in English (with a focus on vocabulary for effect). You have created the
structures for your sculptures in art and produced book reviews for your
favourite book so far this year.
Next week, you will be completing your sculptures using
Modroc, and you will be beginning our programming in computing. In English, you
will finish your chapters and in maths you will be using data and producing and
interpreting line graphs. In science, you will learn about different life
cycles, and for PSHE you will have your next visit from Herts Police – this time to
learn about anti-social behaviour.
Half term project – Masters of Maths
This half term, your project is to create a game for your classmates to play which covers areas of maths that we have learnt about in class. This game could be a quiz, or could be a board game (or a more creative idea if you have one).
You can focus on one topic or a range of maths which we have covered, such as: place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, shape, fractions, decimals, percentages, area, perimeter, translation and reflection.
Please ensure that you bring your game to school by Monday 20th May as we will be playing them sometime that week.
Remember:
- Lincolnsfields forms are due ASAP
- PE continues to be on Monday, Thursday and Friday
- You must be signed up to attend clubs, which start again next week
- Reading – please ensure that you read 5 times a week and record this in your Reading Journal. You MUST have your reading book and journal in school every day
- Spellings – please practise putting spellings into sentences as well as practising them.
- SumDog – Please practise on this as it is crucial that you maintain your learning knowledge – these games help you to maintain what you have already learnt and maybe learn a little before we begin in class
Have a lovely weekend.
Mrs Cresswell
