Team calder (year 5)

Good afternoon,

This week, in English we have continued to look at persuasive writing and written some super persuasive letters to staff who live locally to convince them to walk rather than drive to school. In Curriculum, the children completed a local area walk to survey how many eclectic cars are currently being driven. In Maths, the children have completed our learning about negative numbers

Coming up next week:

Curriculum:  the children will be using their data from their local area walk to analyse how on track the government are for selling only electric cars. 

English: the children will be continuing to look at persuasive writing. We will be writing persuasive letters to staff who live locally to convince them to walk rather than drive to school. 

Maths: multiplying a 2 digit number by a 1 digit number.

PSHE: friendships: Conflict and reconciliation.

Don’t forget to keep checking Twitter to see what learning we have been up to! 

P.E is every Thursday and Friday. Children need to come dressed in PE kit for the whole day. Children need to wear a pair of plain black or navy blue jogging bottoms or shorts, a plain white t-shirt and a plain black or navy blue hoodie. Children need to wear suitable shoes for PE (trainers or plimsolls).  

Homework has been set today and is due next Friday. 

Reading: The children will be expected to read a minimum of 3 times a week, ideally to a grown-up. This needs to be recorded in their reading records.

Spelling: The children will be expected to play a minimum of 5 games of the set spelling rule on EdShed. 

Maths: The children will have a task set on My Maths.

Children are expected to access TT Rockstars a minimum of 3 times a week.

If children cannot access the internet at home, sheets can be requested for homework. 

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the school office. 

Thank you for your continued support,

Mrs Findleton
