Another busy week in Year 5 with children continuing to write their action stories ready for completion next week. We have been really impressed with the quality of their stories. They have worked really hard on their language choices, sentence techniques and overall organisation, producing some really entertaining stories.

This week in maths we have focused on finding percentages of amounts. We have worked on finding 10% first (simply dividing by 10) and then scaling up or down from there depending on the amount they need to find. Please feel free to help your child practise this over the weekend by giving them some calculations to work on, e.g. find 30% of 200grams of sugar or find 45% of the £20 in my wallet etc.

5E started their swimming lessons this week and once again were fantastic representatives for our school. Thank you to the parents who helped with transporting the children to and from the pool.

On Thursday of next week we have World Book Day where children have the opportunity to dress up as a character from a book. Don’t forget to check out the bedtime stories on the KS2 Bedtime Stories blog – a video will be posted each night from now until next Friday!

Have a great weekend!

Year 5 team.
