Mrs Walker, Mrs Sampson and Mrs Thomas
Year 5 P.E. days:
Tuesday and Wednesday - Rounders
Please make sure your child comes to school in FULL PE kit (T-shirt, shorts/joggers, sweatshirt/top and trainers).
Please ensure that your child brings hair ties and can remove earrings themselves before a session.
English
This half term we are jetting off to the Amazon and delving into the incredible
novel, 'The Explorer' by Katherine Rundell. We will write diary entries from
different viewpoints and write out own escape narrative.
Bingo Books
Bingo Books is a collection of high-quality literature for you to share and explore at home with your child. Similar to the game ‘bingo’, the aim is to get a full house before leaving Year 5! Children will choose a new Bingo Book to bring home whenever they finish as some texts are longer than others. We do ask that you treasure these books as they are on loan from our Education Library Service. Please enjoy them and return in a good condition. If books are not returned (or are returned in a poor condition), I’m afraid we will have to ask for a contribution toward a replacement. Enjoy immersing yourself in some wonderful texts. I wonder which will be your favourite!
Geography Learning Challenge:
This half term, our question is 'What makes the Amazon so special?'
As part of our Amazon journey, we will learn all about the rainforest biome and what makes it so incredible! Have a look at the resources below to help you research more information about the Amazon.
Maths: I have attached a resource to help at home, please take some time to look through how we will be teaching fractions in Year 5. /uploads/753/grade/27036115_grade_file.pdf Learning video - please watch the learning video to help to build on your understanding of equivalent fractions: This will be sent home in your child's new homework book, please return each Monday.
