Team calder & Loxley (year 5)

Good afternoon, 

Teams Calder and Loxley have had another super week and have really impressed  us with their work on linking percentages to fractions and decimals.

Next week:

English: We will be completing our independent writing of a Welcome Guidebook for a refugee arriving at our school.

Maths: We will be converting units of measure.

Curriculum: We will be using fieldwork to observe, measure, record and present human and physical features in the local area.

Science: The children will be investigating how voltage affects the volume of a buzzer.

PSHE:  The children will be comparing their own lives with the lives of people in the developing world and thinking about how to appreciate the value of happiness regardless of material wealth.

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

Thank you for your continued support,

Mrs Lazenby and Miss Austwick
