Year 5
Weekly Update - Friday 19th April 2024
Summary of this week:

It’s hard to believe we are now in the final term of Year 5! The children have come back after Easter with a good attitude towards their learning and are embracing all things Ancient Greek – not only in our history lessons but also in English, Guided Reading and DT. |
Our learning next week:
|
Maths: Next week we will be beginning our new topic of geometry.
English: Everyone has thoroughly explored the myth, Theseus and the Minotaur and next week they will begin writing their own version in a very similar style.
Foundation: In computing the children will learn more about stop-motion animation, in history it will be the second part of our Greek Gods lesson, in PSHE we will research how everyone leaves a digital footprint once they start posting online, in RE we will discover more about salvation in the Bible and in DT we will find out about different food and ingredient choices. |
Homework:
|
Maths: TTRS
Spelling: This week we are looking at root words within a word. These spellings from the year 5/6 spelling list have root words: lightning determined existence immediately criticise sincerely
