Y5 Notices

Science

We started our new topic, ‘Forces’. This week our focus was friction. We investigated friction by rolling cars down a ramp with different surfaces and measured the distances they travelled. 

Art

We began our unit on Viking clay tiles. This week, we explored how to work with clay to create joins and patterns. 

PSHE

We have been learning all about jobs as well as the skills, knowledge and understanding that people need to do them well.

The homework has been shared with the children in class; further information can be found on Google Classroom. Please ask your child to plan when they will complete their homework. They should ask their teachers if they need further support before the end of school on Wednesday. 

• Reading - Please read for 20 minutes per day and record this in your P.O.  Please record the book title and page numbers and ask an adult to sign when they have either heard you read or have discussed your reading with you.

• Spelling/English - Learn your spellings for Thursday’s dictation. Complete the sheet given to you by your teacher for Sunday. 

• Maths - Please check your maths google classroom for this week’s homework. Your maths teacher will tell you which column to complete and give you some squared paper. 

Book Bingo

Last week, we launched our Year 5 Charity Book Bingo. Your child has received a sponsorship form to help raise funds for BSM charities. We appreciate your encouragement as they aim to complete as much reading as possible. Thank you for your continued support.
