This week the children have been developing their understanding of multiplying and dividing decimals with whole numbers and applying this skill by solving word problems. In English, they have been writing and then editing/improving their newspaper report about the wreck of the Zanzibar.
We haven’t set any spellings for homework over half term but the children should go over all spellings given so far. For homework the children have Mymaths and they need to complete the final section from the homework pyramid. Also, the children should complete the R.E section for this half term, which is in their home learning diary. This homework is due by Friday (9th June). Children are more than welcome to bring their homework in early if they have completed it.
This week Tyler Maplesden (5E) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave him for working hard to improve his handwriting and writing style’ and Samuel Ford (5E) has his writing displayed on the showstoppers wall. Victoria Parker (5F) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave her to be a helpful and committed member of the class’. Isaac Ash (5F) has his work on the showstoppers wall too.
Today, 5F went over to Oaklands for a Science afternoon and took part in two experiments. 5E have this to look forward to on their return to school. Pictures from this event will be put on to the blog once 5E have attended too.
Just a reminder: P.E kits and water bottles will need to be returned on the first day back. Also, Monday 5th June we will be holding a meeting for parents to discuss the content of the upcoming SRE lessons.
Lastly, we remember the people who were affected by the tragic event in Manchester. Year 5 children have prayed for the victims and their families during our worship times and some have written prayers for our class prayer books.
Have a lovely half term break,
