Another great week at Rosehill for team Y5 this week. 

We've had a big push on times tables and we started to see the results already in our class work.

P.E. kit - it is getting colder now so jogging bottoms/jumpers are a great idea to include for P.E. kit on Tuesday.

Times tables - please spend a little time each night practising times table questions with the children. They will come home have a range of strategies they have been taught at school including singing, chanting and learning their table facts by rote. We apologise for ruining any nursery rhymes for you by turning them into times table songs.

Next week:

In English, we will complete our character description genre of writing.

In guided reading, we will continue answering questions based around non-fiction texts.

In maths, we will continue a new unit of work on fractions.

In geography, we will continue our volcanoes and earthquakes unit of work. 

In P.E., we will continue our gymnastics and netball units of work.

In science, we will continue studying forces - this week looking at air resistance.

In R.E., we will continue our enquiry - Is the Christmas story true? We will consider which parts of the story we think may have been true and which parts we believe in ourselves.

In music, we will continue our study of 'Livin' on a prayer'.

In D+T, we will continue looking at bridge building - looking at the skills we can use in order to join materials.
