Year 5 Blog 9th September 2022

Date: 9th Sep 2022 @ 3:35pm

Welcome to your Friday Blog. 

We have had a wonderful first week in Year 5. We have worked hard, played hard and been kind to each other. We were delighted to earn 46 golden tokens for our hard work and teamwork which gave us 23 minutes of Golden Time on Friday afternoon. We played a team game outside called Kick the Can and then watched some children sing and do magic tricks. It was a fantastic celebration of all of our hard work throughout the week. It takes the whole class to earn the tokens so it is a real team effort. 

In maths we have been looking at 6-digit numbers and numbers with 3 decimal places. We have been using place value counters to make different numbers and have been solving problems involving the numbers. Everybody has done so well and tried their best!

We have started to read our class novel Goth Girl. We have identified the novel as a gothic style novel. We have looked at features of gothic novels including where they are often set, the different types of characters you would usually meet, and things that might happen in a gothic story. We have been looking at how the author develops the different characters and are working on developing our own characters. We have been looking at spellings with the letter string ough. Everybody has brought a spelling sheet home to stick up. We will practise these in school next week and everybody will practise writing them out at home too. 

Today we had a very special Golden Assembly in school as we took some time to pay tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. We had a minute silence and said some prayers for the Royal Family at this difficult time.

We can't wait for another super week next week, and are excited to earn as many golden tokens as we can!

Well done Year 5. 

Have an amazing weekend!
