Year 5
Weekly Update - Friday 9th June 2023
Summary of this week:
It has been wonderful to invite the children back into class after half term and see them really engaged in their learning. In particular, everyone loved immersing themselves into Sri Lankan life during an exciting English lesson where they were introduced to our new text – The Girl Who Stole and Elephant. |
Our learning next week:
Maths: We will continue our topic on measurement and converting kilometres into metres and kilograms into grams.
English: The focus will be on formal letter writing and the language and structure necessary to make this effective.
Foundation: In RE we will continue our learning about Islam, in Geography we will learn more about deserts, in PHSE we will understand about qualifications needed for certain jobs and in Art we will continue to explore self-portraits. |
Homework:
Spelling: This week we are looking at words that initially look quite similar: relevant revelation reflex referee reflection
Maths: Arithmetic
English: Formal/informal language worksheet |
Notices & Reminders:
Over the course of the next 2 weeks, the children will be completing some assessments including a reading paper and three maths papers. These assessments enable us to build a picture of where there might be knowledge gaps, plus an opportunity to celebrate the learning achievements of the children so far. |
