What a lovely first week back after the half term. In Year 5, we have been extremely productive with many lessons starting off this half term's learning journeys.

In English, we have begun looking at the features of a non-chronological report. We have begun exploring how relative clauses can add more information about a subject in the sentence and be positioned both in the middle of a sentence and at the end.

We have started our new unit in Maths of Multiplication and Division by exploring multiples and factors. We have been using manipulatives and sentence stems to really embed our knowledge.

We had some really great reflections in Music when listening to three different and distinct pieces of Blues music. Everyone responded differently with pictorial representations of how the music made them feel as well as what instruments they thought were being used.

Home Learning

Please ensure that children are 'in the green' on Doodle.

There are assignments set across English, Maths and Spelling which when completing will not only help with the current and upcoming learning but help children get into the green.

Please ensure that children are reading out loud to an adult five times a week. This really supports their reading fluency and gives you an opportunity to help them read unfamiliar words.
