Hello everyone,
Welcome back, we hope you had a wonderful break and enjoyed some well deserved rest. The children have come back raring to go!
In English, we have begun our new unit ‘Macbeth’ and the children are already very engaged! We started by looking at the opening scenes script, discussing the different devices the author had used. We then had a go at acting it out, then creating a picture (just like a stage director) of what the stage would look like and lastly adding strong vocabulary to describe the scene. We are very excited to see what happens next!
Next week in maths, we are starting our time unit and looking at the conversions/intervals of time. We have started our Christmas unit in RE with our key question ‘ How can the circumstances of Jesus’ birth inspire our actions today’. Other new topics include, coasts, swimming, crime and punishment, singing lessons.
Just a friendly reminder –
- Homework is due on Thursdays. This includes vocab, spellings, online maths and maths paper task.
- 5SC will continue with their swimming lessons on a Wednesday for this half term.
- PE will continue on Thursdays.
- Reading journals are due every 2 weeks. The next reading journal is due 20th January 2023.
We hope you have a wonderful weekend,
Year 5 Team
