Happy Friday!
This week, we have played Jumbly Jams, separated mixtures into pure substances and written some amazing adverbial phrases. This week, we have begun our unit on addition and subtraction in Maths, focusing on our prerequisite knowledge and next steps. In English, we have continued to study our new text Firebird, which is based on a traditional Russian tale. (See link on Dojo for the story, if you want to share it at home.) In Science we worked on separating mixtures into pure substances, we really dug into real life applications for this. History saw us thinking about trade in the Benin Kingdom - which goods were traded and why. In P.E. we have continued to work on teamwork and fitness in one session and Football skills in the other, with our Saints South West coach. The children have also been thinking about internet safety in PSHE this afternoon with Miss Penny. An upcoming event for the year 5s is Bikeability (cycling proficiency). This will take place during the week beginning Monday 11th November. The letter will come out next week but the consent form for this is available through the link below. If you wish your child to take part (it's free of charge and teaches them a valuable life skill) you will need to complete the consent form by 1st November at the latest. https://forms.gle/gATE2GV9PLX2xb7n8 Next week, we will continue with our English text Firebird. We will continue our work on Addition and Subtraction in Maths, explore the society of the Benin Kingdom in History and investigate Separating mixtures in Science. P.E. will continue to be on Tuesday and Friday for this half term so please send the children in with their kits on these days. Finally, the children will come home with their homework books today. In these there are spellings for this week, Maths questions based on what we have been doing in class and a topic homework with a choice of activities. Please could the book come back in on Thursday next week for marking and so that the children can add next week's home learning. So far this term, the response to home learning has been very positive and it really does help to reinforce the learning that the children undertake during the school day. Have a great weekend everybody, see you on Monday. Mr Foreman Comments are closed.
