YEAR 5 HOMEWORK FOR HALF TERM

This week the children have been developing their knowledge and understanding of 3D shapes, angles and direction. In English, they have started a new unit about extreme sports. They have been gathering vocabulary and asking questions. We will continue to study Carrie’s War during guided reading.

Your child should have come home with a homework sheet but if not, see attached!

This week Patrick Healy (5E) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave him for persevering with his presentation of work and his handwriting’ and Eve Banham (5E) has her writing displayed on the showstoppers wall. Nicolas Renji (5T) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave him to always do the right thing and set an excellent example to the rest of the class.’ Lily Tan (5T) has her work on the showstoppers wall too.

We hope you enjoy a restful half term and enjoy a small sample of the many photographs we took at Runway’s End.

This week has been dominated by the residential visit to Runway’s End. The children had an amazing time, working collaboratively, setting themselves challenging goals and encouraging one another to achieve them.

At school the children have been developing their skills in using a formula to measure area and solving problems involving all 4 operations. In English, they have continued to study ‘Carrie’s War’. They have written an informal letter in character.

No homework has been set this week due to the residential at Runway’s End. However, children should still be revising their multiplication knowledge, reading and completing another section of their homework pyramid. The children have also been introduced to ‘Sumdog’ (www.sumdog.com) which they enjoyed. They all have their personal logins so that it can be accessed at home too.

This week Ethan Baker (5E) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave him to work collaboratively and for encouraging others’ and Elea De Vos (5E) has her writing displayed on the showstoppers wall. 5T were at Runway’s End for the Golden Leaf Assembly.

Have a restful weekend,

This week the children have been developing their multiplication and division skills, including multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000 in order to convert measures. If possible, please could you practise this at home. In English, they have continued to study ‘Carrie’s War’. They have written a diary and will be writing a letter next week.

No homework has been set this week due to the residential at Runway’s End.

This week Liam Tomkins (5E) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave him for his improved handwriting and presentation of work’ and Nathan Jose (5E) has his writing displayed on the showstoppers wall. Tia Abbinett (5T) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave her to always do her best.’ Kyle Gardner (5T) has his work on the showstoppers wall too.

We are looking forward to our residential next week. Year 5E are going from the Monday to the Wednesday and 5T will be going from Wednesday to Friday. Please remember that your child will need a drink and a packed lunch for the first day.

Have a great weekend,

The Year 5 team
