Week beginning 27th January 2020

This week we have been learning about words containing the letter string 'ough.' These words are very tricky and these letters can make more than one sound.

In our Science, we are starting to learn about human and animal life cycles.





In Science, Year 5 researched the gestation periods of mammals and how long eggs take to hatch. The data they collected is displayed outside the Year 5 classroom. 

 

If you look outside our classroom you will find a display about gestation periods and hatching times. The children have made questions. Will you be able to answer the questions using the data? 

This is a short slideshow about nonfiction texts. We are looking at these in our English lessons.



If you look around our campus you should see these posters. Please remind your child about how important it is to follow the correct process when washing our hands.

We have hand gel located outside of our classroom which the children use on entering and leaving our classroom.

Maths learning next week will be

• Describe positions on the first quadrant of a coordinate grid.
• Identify, describe and represent the position of a shape following a reflection or translation, using the appropriate language, and know that the shape has not changed.

Y5 has been working hard on mastering decimals and understanding how decimals can be interchanged with fractions. Learners were able to show their knowledge through book work, small group activities, independent assessments and mental maths games.
