Year 5
Weekly Update - Friday 20th June 2025
Summary of this week:
The children enjoyed getting practical in science and learning about how ice melts and evaporates. They also enjoyed creating their only mini salt flats which ties in brilliantly with our current topic on deserts in geography!
Our learning next week:
Maths: We will be working on area and perimeter.
English: We will be writing persuasive leaflets about TYM or about the activities done at school.
In art we will continue developing our self-portraits and in computing we will be tinkering with CAD.
Homework:
Due to our TYM trip, there will be no homework.
Notices & Reminders:
We are looking forward to taking your children to Thames Young Mariners on Monday and Tuesday. Here are just a few reminders, please (but please still refer to the kit list previously provided):
- Drop off at top field at 7.45am
- Provide any medication in a named, clear plastic bag with instructions on administering meds
- Provide your child with snacks and a packed lunch for the first day and a full water bottle
- The forecast looks good – please ensure your child has a hat and suncream. Please ensure they know how to apply suncream independently.
- If your child wants to bring insect repellent, please ensure it is the roll-on variety (not spray)
- Ensure your child has packed their own bag so they know where everything is
- Provide them with a ‘day bag’ which includes lunch/snacks/water bottles and any toys etc. to keep them occupied on coach/in tent (anything they bring, they will be responsible for). We suggest books, colouring in, small toys, playing cards, wordsearches etc. (no electronics please).
