Our Class News This Week: 2nd-6th February

Hello everyone! Apologies for no update last week. 

This week, we have had a very busy week.

In Maths, we have been looking at finding fractions of amounts and then the tricky part is when you know a part being able to find out what the whole is.  Year 5 have been doing amazingly and most of them were even answering Year 6 SATs questions using the method! 

In English, we have used a 1930s based short-film as a supplement for our writing. The children have created setting descriptions and looked at how personification can improve their writing using a show-not-tell approach.

In Topic, we have continued with our 1960s History unit. The children have loved finding out about the decade. We have explored music and fashion specifically by dancing in this style and creating our own inspired fashion designs. If the children have any family members such as grandparents or great-grandparents who would share and have conversations with them about life during this time, this would be amazing!

Please have a look at the Year 5 Class Dojo page for some photos of the children's work from this week.

Have a lovely weekend!

Dates for your diary:

16th-20th February- Half-term

 

Each week, children will have homework set which is expected to be completed for Thursday. There will be work which can be completed in the CGP Grammar and Reading Comprehension books children are provided with. Grammar homework will be sent out every week, while Reading comprehension will be sent out every two weeks. Mathematics homework will continue to be set online via Mathletics.

The most important way to support your child at home is through reading. We expect each child to read for a minimum of 10 minutes a day. If you have time, try to read with your child and ask them questions about the story they are reading. This quality, dedicated time set aside to reading has a huge impact on children's learning across the curriculum and helps develop a love of reading which can last a lifetime. 

Please sign your child's reading record each day.
