Year 5 - Summer 2 - Week 5
Date: 2nd Jul 2024 @ 12:56pm
Well done to Year 5 for giving your all throughout this week! It has been as busy as ever and the time really is flying by with now just under two weeks of this school year remaining. Here are some highlights from the many different things that we have managed to fit into this week…
Our English lessons this week focused on letter writing. The children were tasked with planning and drafting a letter to their buddy and their families to tell them all about themselves, our school and their new role as a Year 6 buddy in September. The children put such thought and care into this writing and are looking forward to writing up the final versions next week.
The children also enjoyed a visit from Josh from Formby library who informed the children about this year's summer reading challenge. We hope that the children will be able to enjoy the reading challenge over the summer holidays and celebrate this with us when they return to school in September.
Our Maths learning focused on calculating intervals of time and then using these skills to interpret and later create our own TV channel schedules. The children enjoyed this opportunity to take up the role of lead producer of a television channel and having the power to decide which of their favourite shows were on at different times of the day. Next week’s Maths will incorporate a revision of different concepts explored throughout this term. Please see previous blogs for an outline of the different areas that we have been learning in previous weeks.
Even with just two weeks of the school year remaining, there really still is so much more to cram in. We will be sure to make the most of it. Enjoy your weekends and see you on Monday!
Reminders:
-As mentioned in last week’s blog and on Google Classroom, for the remaining weeks of Year 5, the children have been set a spelling challenge. The aim is to learn as many words as they can from a list of common exception words. The list is available on Google Classroom and the children should pick a list that they feel best challenges them.
-The final homework of Year 5 has been set and should be completed on or before Wednesday 10th July.
-Please also remember that the Year 5 ‘Virtual Classroom’ is always available and has been re-attached to this blog for ease. This includes links to a variety of websites and resources. All pupils' individual passwords can be found on Google Classroom. Don't forget, there is also the ‘Practice’ section on Mirodo where the children can choose any topic they wish to practise for Maths, Reading, SPaG or Science.
