Class 5 weekly update

We had a very busy and exciting first week back in Class 5!

English

We continued our novel study of Goodnight Mister Tom and children wrote the most amazing diary entries from the perspective of Willie. They were asked to show his changing emotions as he faced having to go home to London and many of their diary entries were so emotive they moved Class 5 adults to tears – what a fabulous start to the new half term!

Maths

Year 6s continued to tackle mixed problems, to consolidate many of the skills learnt over the past year, with a particular focus on converting units of measure. Year 5s completed their work on decimals and practised multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000.

Science

Children started to present their half-term homework on Sir Isaac Newton and it was wonderful to see the children’s pride in sharing their hard work with the rest of the class.

Enrichment Activities

Year 5s had a fantastic day at Adcote School last Wednesday and enjoyed a range of bushcraft activities.  They have now been given the task of creating a display to show off the activities which they took part in. Photos of the day will be uploaded in the next couple of days.

On Thursday, Year 6s were visited by D & T staff from The Corbet School who set them a challenge with specific rules and criteria. They had a super morning and they will be writing letters to The Corbet to say thank you for visiting us.

History

Year 6s have been researching the role of the Home Guard during World War 2.

Sports Day Preparation

Please can children ensure that they have their PE kit, including trainers, in school all week. Thank you

Class 5 update

English

This week Class 5 have worked on letter writing.  They have written letters from William to his Mother based on their reading in ‘Goodnight Mister Tom’ so far, focussing on writing in first person in an informal style.

Maths

Year 5 have continued with their work on decimals this week.  In particular they have worked on subtraction of decimals and decimal number sequences.

Year 6 have been applying their knowledge of calculation methods to a range of problems that have involved addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Science

The children explored activities using mirrors and other shiny surfaces that reflect light.  Some children began to explore the relationship between the angle of incidence and angle of reflection.

History

This week the children started to learn about the Home Front and in particular, the Dig for Victory campaign.  The children have begun to design their own posters aimed at persuading people to grow their own fruit and vegetables during the war.

To be brought into School for Tuesday 5th June 2018

Your homework task for half-term is to research Sir Isaac Newton’s work on light. Newton was known for his work in several areas of science but I just want you to focus on his theories and findings about light.

You can present your information in any format of your choice e.g. written, using ICT, practical demonstration, etc.  You will be sharing your research with the rest of the class.

Rounders Success

Well done to the Year 5 and 6 rounders team today who won the tournament at The Corbet School on Tuesday morning against other local primary schools.  Their sportmanship and team effort was an absolute pleasure to observe and, as always, they were excellent ambassadors for our school.

E Safety Evening for Year 6 Parents at The Corbet

The Corbet School are hosting an E Safety Parents’ Information Evening on 20th June with PC Crump. Please see attachments below for more information and also a message from The Corbet School.

 

“We are aware that many year 6 pupils ask their parents for a mobile phone once they start secondary school because of the bus journeys.  Therefore, we think it would be really good to encourage as many year 6 parents as possible to attend this evening in order to encourage safe practice from the outset.”
