Curriculum

JTLYK 20 September

Dear Parents and Carers,

We’ve had another jam-packed week in Year 5! The children have impressed us with their focus and hard work in all subjects. We had a great time in the chantries and the children were kind and thoughtful towards their new buddies.

In Maths we have looked at ordering numbers as well as rounding numbers up and down to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000. Hopefully you’ve had a chance to play the fun game we sent home for homework and have challenged your child to beating their score. https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

For English we have been focussing on writing a descriptive diary entry which captures the sights and sounds of the setting for the Firework Maker’s Daughter.

In History we have been exploring the War of the Roses and the beginning of the Tudor period.

Have a look at the spellings we have covered this week and ask your child about different ways they could learn their spellings.

Have a great weekend!

Team 5—Kayleigh, Scarlett and Helen
