Year 5 Home Practice 4th December 2020

Date: 2nd Dec 2020 @ 10:24am

Another busy and hard working week Year 5, well done to everyone. In Maths, we have looked at written methods for subtraction. The children have finished Goth Girl and written some great book reviews and summaries. We decorated the Christmas tree in the hall with stars and lovely messages for our loved ones. In Science, we learnt how day and night occurs due to the Earth rotating. Thank you all those who painted Baby Jesus on pebbles and hid them around school for classes to find. We enjoyed using the school maps to find Jesus and read the scriptures and words of inspiration. As part of our outdoor learning, we decorated a tree with ribbons. It looks beautiful and the children thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep working hard on your home practice.

Maths

This week’s challenge on Sumdog is based on addition, subtraction and times tables practice.

The Sumdog spelling challenge is focused on homophones (different from the spelling test words below). If you don’t know what a word means, look it up in a dictionary or ask an adult. Please learn these spellings for next Friday (11.12.20):
