What a busy couple of weeks for Year 5! To celebrate World Book Day, they enjoyed a fantastic trip to Sutton United, combining their love of reading with some football fun. Back in the classroom, the excitement continued with lots of World Book Day activities linked to a book called 'In Our Hands' by Lucy Farfort. This text linked nicely with the all the work we have been doing in English about climate change. In English, they've begun an exciting journey writing narratives from the perspective of Bear in their class text, 'The Last Bear'. Maths lessons have seen them mastering the art of adding and subtracting decimals. Science has been a hands-on experience: last week, they used light meters to explore the properties of objects, categorising them as opaque, transparent or translucent. This week, the focus shifted to conductivity, where they conducted experiments to see how different materials conduct heat and linked their findings to real-world uses.

Kingswood parent meeting

You are invited to attend the Kingswood parent meeting on Thursday 21st March at 6.30pm in the school hall.

At the meeting, we will go through what the children can expect for Kingswood and talk about what the children need to bring etc.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Over the next couple of weeks, we will be learning:

Maths - We will be starting our new topic, percentages. 

Writing - We will be writing our narrative in role as Bear based on our class text 'The Last Bear'. 

Reading - In Reading we will be focusing on a mixture of retrieval, inference and prediction.
