Week Beginning 20th May 2020

Here is a poem written independently by Amanda. I'm sure we share the sentiments she expresses. We are all missing school and looking forward to returning when it is safe to do so.

This is the latest episode of our BBC Look and Read series. I hope you are watching every week. Earlier episodes are on previous blogs. 

                                         




Here are our spellings for this week.

No one star	two star	three star
	calendar caught centre century certain circle complete compete consider continue	bargain bruise category cemetery committee communicate community competition existence explanation

Next week, learning with Mr John will focus on...

• Preparing the Y5 contribution to the end of year event
• Completing self reflections for our end of year reports
• Using brackets, dashes and commas in a sentence

Next week's focus in Maths:

• I can divide numbers up to 4 digits by a one-digit number using the formal written method of short division 

• As division can be difficult for some learners we will break this standard down into parts over the next two weeks. It will be much easier for all learners if they know their basic division facts to 12.
• 
  

Since we had a short week due to our half term break Y5 had some fun review time. We were able to focus on a variety of mental maths problems during our lesson this week. During our open session, we played a review game on Kahoot that gave a chance for everyone to review skills and vocabulary learnt this year. Some found it inspiring and others found it quite a challenge.
