Week 6 has been another great one for the year 5s. We have finished writing our descriptive settings, completed another set of arithmetic assessments and brought to a close a great half term of progress in year five!

Notices:

On the first week back, the children need their P.E. kits on Monday and Thursday although we do ask them to be in school all week if possible. Earrings should be removed before school please. Please ensure children have a suitable outdoor kit on Monday (white t-shirt, a warm jumper, jogging bottoms and trainers).

Please encourage the children to spend a little time each day reading, which we would be grateful if you logged on boomreader so that the children get dojos in school, practise their spelling patterns and spend a little time working on mastering their times tables.

Next week's learning:
- In maths, we will look at accurately multiplying and dividing by powers of 10.
- In English, we will start looking at the persuasive genre of writing.
- In reading, we will practise answering questions around our novel - Floodlands
- In history, we will finish our unit of study around the Shang Dynasty.
- In science, we will continue looking at the life cycles of animals.
- In art, we will conclude our studies of Claude Monet.
- In P.E., we will start developing our skills in rounders and outdoor adventurous activities.
- In P.S.H.E., we will continue our unit of work around developing a healthy lifestyle.
