Maths:
This week, we shall be looking at Roman Numerals, negative numbers in context and assessing existing place value knowledge.

English:

This week, we shall be: continuing to design a new character and re-write a scene from There’s a boy in the girls’ bathroom.

SPAG:

We shall be focusing specifically on: adverbs and adjectives; expanding noun phrases; subordinating clauses and relative clauses.

Reading:

In Year 5, children are responsible for changing their own books independently. We do ask that children read at home everyday and mark this by a simple comment in their homework diary. Please do encourage your child to read aloud, even though they are in Year 5, to build the stamina with their fluency.

Example comment:

Name of Book: Gangsta Granny

Peter read from page 12-16. He struggled on the words ‘inspiration’ and ‘necessary’.

PE:

Our PE lessons will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please ensure your child has their full PE kit on these days.

Music:

Soundstart lessons, with Mr Regan, shall start this week. This is where Year 5 pupils will have the chance to learn both the guitar and keyboard.

RE:

Mrs Forde will continue to teach the children all about Hinduism on Wednesday afternoons.

Science:

We shall be continuing our unit of Space and looking at exciting, associated discoveries.

 

PSHE:

We shall be exploring how to ask for help with tricky situations – using our main character from our class text.
