Year 5
Weekly Update - Friday 4th April 2025
Summary of this week:
A great end to the Spring Term this week. A real highlight was creating scenes for our stop-start animation in our computing lesson. The children were very dedicated and careful to only move their scenes by a fraction for each frame – we were impressed with their patience!
Our learning next week:
Maths: We will be researching and measuring angles in geometry.
English: Linking with our new history topic on the Greeks, we will be learning and researching how to be effective myth writers in English.
In science we will be looking at reproduction in biology, in DT will be researching cooking and nutrition, in PSHE we will begin our topic on relationships and in RE will start learning about Hinduism.
Homework:
Homework update: After half term, and to prepare the children for Year 6 and in line with our updated homework policy, we will be introducing weekly maths homework. This will alternate between arithmetic and current topic work. English will continue to be every other week.
This week’s spellings are words are chosen by the class from the Year 5/6 statutory list to be used in our newspaper reports.
Maths: Worksheet
English: Reading

Notices & Reminders:

It is hard to believe we are now two-thirds of the way through Year 5. We would like to take this opportunity to celebrate how much progress the children have made in upper key stage 2. After a well-deserved rest, we look forward to welcoming them back in the summer term.
Thank you to all the parents who have offered to listen to readers. If you would like to volunteer to read with children from Year 5 on Tuesdays and/or Friday afternoons and have a full DBS, please contact us on year5@eastwick.thpt.org.uk
Reminder: all children need to come to school with a fully-stocked pencil case which includes a blue handwriting pen, pencil, purple pen, ruler and glue-stick please.
Thank you for your support.
