This week the children have been continuing to develop their understanding of the meaning behind Advent in Religious Education lessons. They have also been continuing to produce persuasive pieces of writing linked to our chosen text: Private Peaceful. We have been so pleased with the children’s engagement throughout the World War topic and they have completed fantastic pieces of writing as a result. In maths we have been investigating 3D shapes and the different types of angles.
In the Spring term we will be starting our science-based topic: Space. In regards to maths, the children will be encouraged to go deeper with their learning and applying skills to a range of contexts.
As it’s been such a busy term and we feel the children have worked so well, we’ve only set two pieces of homework for them to complete by the first day back (3rd January 2017). We would like the children to research Guru Gobind Singh and chose their own way to present this information. The second piece of homework involves completing the Christmas homework that is set in their Home Learning Diary. If the children would like to do some of their own learning over the holidays they are, of course, free to do so (for example spellings and times tables)!
Due to the attendance assembly this week there are no Golden leaves or Showstoppper writing to announce. Year 5 had the highest amount of children with one hundred percent attendance, we are so proud! In addition, congratulations to 5F who achieved the overall highest amount of children with one hundred percent attendance in the whole school!
Children have been sent home with their P.E kit, water bottle and any pieces of homework. Just a reminder that the P.E kits and water bottles need to come back on the first day. To remind 5E they will have their exciting swimming lessons beginning the first week back.
Have fun-filled holiday,
The Year 5 team
