Year 5
Weekly Update
Friday 21st January
Dear Year 5 Parents and Carers
The children have all been working very hard on their fractions in maths for the past few weeks and it is lovely to see them getting more confident with these. Fractions are quite an abstract concept which they’ve persevered positively with!
Our learning next week:
In maths we will continue to subtract fractions and then moving onto multiplying by an integer.
In English, we will be researching, planning and writing our final non-chronological dragon reports which, when finished with drawings/maps/diagrams etc., will be displayed in a shared ‘class book’ for everyone to enjoy.
In science, we will be researching air resistance.
In foundation, we are lucky to be having the Surrey Fire Service visit us where we will learn about basic fire safety for our PHSE, in computing we will continue with designing our own games, in RE we will look further at ‘The Golden Rule’ through drama and in history we will learn about Anglo-Saxon Kings.
Notices:
In English and Guided Reading we are reading ‘Anglo Saxon Boy’ by Tony Bradman. There is no expectation to purchase a copy, but some children have expressed an interest in having a book for our lessons so please feel free to buy a copy/borrow from your local library if you so wish.

Please continue to use year5@eastwick.thpt.org.uk to contact the staff with any queries or comments.
Kindest regards,
Miss Smith, Miss Stammers, Mrs Khan and all the Year 5 team
