Week 6

IMPORTANT UPDATE

Dear parents,

Please accept our apologies. We have only just heard that we are unable to open on Monday, as we had hoped. You can see from the information below that we were well into  our preparations to welcome chidren back to school. Now, we await further instructions from the government.

We are all very excited about our return to school on Monday. Safety will be our highest priority. This video shows some  of the special procedures we will put into operation.

This is our classroom set up for social distancing. Each student has a clearly defined workspace and their own set of stationery. 

We have created lots of space so we can maintain social distancing.

We are mindful of the need to wash our hands regularly.

We will be working with these two poems.

Spelling this week

No one star	Two star	Three star
	decide describe different difficult disappear early earth eight eighth enough	familiar foreign forty frequently government guarantee harass hindrance identity immediate

Remember if you do not know a word  it is your job to find out the meaning.

Next week's focus will be a review assessment given in class - this assessment will focus on

• column approach for addition and subtraction
• fractions
• properties of shapes
• measurement
• column approach for multiplication and division
• statistics - reading graphs and answering questions based on the graphs

Y5 learners have a good understanding of multiplication and this has helped to set a solid foundation to roll into division. Each group has worked on various types of division problems based on their ability. Some have focused on the beginning process of single-digit division such as 7 divides by 49 while others have moved to more complicated problems such as 728 divide by 13.

We are looking at being back at school next week and I'm super excited to see our learners in person. See you on Monday!

We played a review game on Kahoot to get them to recall information learnt thus year to prep for next week.  We covered such things as lines, angles, fractions and factors.
