18.7.20

Well done everyone - we have made it to the end of the school year! Who would have believed that when you left us in March that the end of our year would be the way it was. Thank you so much to our extended teaching team - our parents, siblings and grandparents - who have supported the children through this difficult period. 

It was lovely to see some of you back in school or on Zoom for our brief transition sessions.  We are looking forward to welcoming you back in September and have loads of exciting new topics planned for you. Before then, we wish you all a great summer whether you are staying close to home or managing to get away somewhere.

Take care and stay safe everyone.

With love from Mrs Hoare, Mrs Ellis and Mrs Stocks. x

We start our final week on the 13th July. There will be transition activities on offer in school for either a morning or afternoon, where 5SE will meet Mrs Newsome ready for next year. Mrs Hoare's class will meet up through a Zoom meeting. The office will have contacted you about the arrangement for your class. 

For Maths home learning next week we are continuing with our Oak Academy lessons. This week (our final week!) is all about decimals:  Do one lesson each day.

Hello children and parents!

I hope you've had a productive week. What shame we had more rain this week! This week it was Summer Stephenson who was awarded the Perseverance band in our key worker group. Well done Summer!

For Maths next week we are continuing with our Oak Academy lessons. This week is all about volume:  Do one lesson each day.

Click this link to access the lessons:

https://classroom.thenational.academy/subjects-by-year/year-5/subjects/maths

Monday: Lesson 1 Read scales

Tuesday: Lesson 2: Investigate cubed numbers

Wednesday: Lesson 3: Estimate volume

Thursday: Lesson 4 : Describe volume in cubic units

Friday: Lesson 5: Convert units of volume

For those of you who like a challenge I'm including some extra capacity based tasks for you! Capacity is the volume taken up by liquids. You can use equipment you have at home. You will need a measuring jug. Remember 1 litre = 1000 millilitres.

1) investigate which mug in the cupboard has the largest volume: Now you know which one to use for your next drink of hot chocolate! More room for the cream and marshmallows!

2) Find a cereal bowl. Find the volume of the bowl by filling it with water. Now carefully pour the water into the empty measuring jug and read the scale. What is the volume of your cereal bowl?

3) Look at the milk bottle you have in the fridge. What is the volume in litres? Now pour the amount of milk you usually have on your cereal into the cereal bowl. Transfer it to the empty measuring jug to find the volume of the milk you have in your cereal.

4) Find other bottles such as shampoo, squash, tomato sauce and pop. Order the bottles from greatest to smallest based on the capacity in litres of ml which they contain. Why do you think the largest bottle is so big?

5) Now choose one of the bottles. Can you redesign the label for it on a piece of paper? Can you make the writing bolder and more interesting? Maybe you want to add more colour or pictures to the design...

Spellings week beginning 6^th July Year 5

For the remaining few weeks of this term the words we will be looking at are those we have covered throughout the year. Instead of learning a pattern, we are looking to see if you can remember the patterns.

This is no April fool! Have you heard about the goats that are taking over the seaside town on Llandudno in Wales? Check out these articles for more information:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-52103967             https://time.com/5813044/llandudno-goats/

What a fantastic news story!  We could use this to inspire us- I thought I might write a story based on it. Other options could be to do a drawing of one of the goats. Maybe you could write your own newspaper report on the events or perhaps create a fact file all about these mountain goats. 

If you'd like to email any of the work you do to our school office I might be able to get it onto our website for all to share!

Look out tomorrow for your first tasks.

21.3.20

While school is closed, Miss Hoare and Mrs Ellis will be updating this page daily with activities and home learning for you. Look out of Monday morning for the first post!

Don't forget to use Purple Mash which also has loads of games and activities. We have selected a range of activities for you to try this week on Purple Mash and will regularly add new work for you!

Keep enjoying your times tables on TTrockstars and don't forget to curl up with a good book for 20 minutes each day!

5.12.19

Both Year 5 classes have now completed the first of two sessions discussing pedestrian safety. This is such an important area as our pupils prepare to become increasingly independent. We will complete our training next week.

3.12.19

Thank you to all the parents and carers who were able to attend our Learning Assembly. We shared some of our literacy and art work before completing a number of activities relating to our history topic. 

2.12.19

Over the next fortnight we will be focusing on spellings with a silent t such as whistle and castle.

In maths, we are moving onto looking at the perimeter and area of regular and irregular shapes.

Please can you continue to try hard in your related homework tasks as we head towards the end of a long and busy term. Thank you.

11.11.19

We are spending another week thinking about homophones. This week we are learning: morning, mourning, aisle, isle, bridal, bridle, ascent and assent. Make sure you know the meanings of these words and demonstrate your knowledge by writing them into sentences in your homework books please.

Our statutory words this week are: relevant, convenience, familiar and government.

4.11.19

In Maths this week we are learning about multiples, factors and prime numbers and solving puzzles relating to these. You'll find it much quicker to complete this work if you know your times tables facts (and the related division facts) really well. Remember that the Times Tables Rockstars competition is well underway and our two Year 5 classes are both performing well - perhaps you could spend a few minutes now working on this.

We are all looking at homophones in our spelling sessions (e.g. stationery, stationary, cereal, serial, father, farther, great, grate, heard, herd, steal, steel). We need to know the meanings of these words in order to ensure that we use the correct ones in our own writing.

Our high frequency words are: eight, twelve and thousand. Our statutory words are: hindrance, identity and sufficient.

Let's see who can score full marks this week and get their name added to our 'star spellers' board.

We hope everyone has a brilliant half-term break. We have all worked really hard so far this year so this week off is well deserved. Enjoy spending time with your families and if you take part in any Halloween or Bonfire night events remember what we learnt on our Safety Rangers Day and stay safe.

We look forward to seeing your projects relating to our history topic when we return in November. Have fun!

7.10.19

Having learnt the -ible spelling pattern we are now working on the -able pattern. How many words can you think of that have this spelling pattern? How many of those words can you add a prefix too?

We've been delighted with how well everyone is doing with their weekly homework tasks. Well done for getting into the routine of bringing your homework books (along with your brass instruments) in on a Monday morning.

Our maths homework links closely to our new maths topic this week - addition and subtraction. So the extra work you are doing at home will no doubt feed into great progress in class.

We're always thrilled to see any additional tasks you have undertaken at home too. We love to celebrate your success so bring in those art projects and sporting certificates. We're also more than willing to sample your baked goods - 5SE loved India's space themed biscuits on Monday. Thank you.

23.9.19

Well done with our previous spelling rule - there have been some great scores in our weekly spelling tests so far.

Our new spelling rule involves the letter combination - ible. We have discussed words such as sensible, visible and incredible. How many more words are there with this spelling combination.

Our high frequency words are: why and friends. Remember....i to the end will be your friend!

9.9.19

Over the next two weeks we will be focusing on learning spellings which contain silent letters (specifically b). These are some examples: comb, limb, debt and subtle. Can you think of any others?

We are also learning high frequency words and statutory words from the Y5/6 spelling lists. This week we are learning something, important, accommodate, accompany and according. 

Welcome to Year 5!

Our teachers are: Mrs Hoare in Class 5HH and Mrs Ellis and Mrs Stocks in 5SE
