Year 5 Home Practice Friday 14^th May 2021

It was lovely to speak to all the parents this week and let them know how hard you have all been working. Keep up the good work Year 5! In Maths, we have been reading timetables, the 24 hour clock and working out time intervals. Also, recapping the properties of 3-D shapes and sorting/problem solving. The book, Boy is such a good read and we have learned so much about boarding schools and life back in the early 1900’s. The children did some lovely work about the fruits of the Holy Spirit and which one they would want to have and why. Their PowerPoints in science were great and really explained what Science is all about and the different types of Sciences like Biology, Physics etc.

Reading

Please read for at least twenty/thirty minutes every evening. Talk about what you have read with an adult. Discuss the story, characters and any new vocabulary you come across. If it is a non-fiction book, look at the contents page, glossary or index and see how it helps you find more information.

Y5 book changing day is Friday. Although, some children may change books at different times, so always bring your book bag into school every day. Remember to sign when you have finished a book, it makes it much easier to issue new books.

Remember to complete your ‘Reading Journal’ task. At the front of the journal there are activities for you to do using your current book or one you have just finished. Choose an activity, complete it in your journal (best presentation and handwriting!) and colour/highlight the square to show you have done it. Complete one activity per week.

Maths

This week’s challenge on Sumdog is based on reading and interpreting tables/timetables and division facts. We will have a division facts test on Friday.

Spelling

There will be no Sumdog spelling challenge this week, so please spend extra time learning the spellings below.

Please learn these spellings for Friday (21.5.21): If you don’t know what a word means, look it up in a dictionary or ask an adult.

We are investigating the Year 5/6 Spelling List.
