Year 5 Friday Blog 13th June

Date: 13th Jun 2024 @ 4:10pm

Dear parents,

Thank you for your support with our new weekly blogs. It has been fantastic to hear the children talking about them in school this week. Every Friday the blog will be shared with the class to recap our learning and make them aware of their homework. Moving to online homework has allowed us to become a more eco friendly school.   Throughout the week we will be learning about the spelling rule in preparation for the quiz on Thursday. Spelling frame or your homework book can be used for practise along with the spelling strategies shared on the blog below. Please ask if your child requires a reminder of their log in details for Spelling Frame or TT Rock Stars.

Homework

Reading - Reading is one of the most important skills for children to master as it unlocks their imagination and allows them to access the rest of the curriculum. Please ensure your child is still reading every night and to make note of this in their reading records.

Spellings - Spellings are from the Statutory word list.  Don't forget to login to SpellingFrame to practise.  Your  new test day is Thursday.

Here is a handy reminder of some helpful strategies children can use to learn their spellings.   (click "here" for the link)

This weeks spellings are on spelling frame.  Children have today been sent home with a copy of their username and password.  

Please log in to spelling frame and practise your spellings.  

Times table / Division facts - Times tables are vital to accessing other concepts in maths.  It is therefore extremely important we keep practising these weekly.  Please access TTRS at least 3 times per week to keep this knowledge sharp.  Your new test day is Thursday.

Our learning this week in Year 5

English

In English, We have continued to read the Hobbit and have investigated unfamiliar vocabulary like "flummoxed" and "renumerate."  

Maths

In Maths we have continued with our Geometry work and have been using our knowledge of co-ordinates and shapes to draw missing vertices, relfect shapes in lines of symmetry and solve perimeter problems.  

Foundation subject.

This week we had a great trip to Manchester Museum.  We took part in a Science classification workshop as well as curated our own mini display.  Check out our photos on the gallery to see what else we got up to. 

 

On Friday, we were very lucky to be able to walk around to a neighbour and to wish her a very happy 100 birthday.  

Have a fantastic weekend!
