This week the children have been developing their understanding of finding the perimeter and area of different shapes. In English, they have been writing their descriptive writing piece about the wreck of the Zanzibar and making a best copy.
Also this week, Year 4 and Year 5 attended a presentation by BAE, who demonstrated the world of coding, drones and robotics in the work place. The children were very excited to see the drones and robots in action and inspired some of them to follow this career path.
For homework the children have 6 spellings using the ‘shun’ sound at the end of words. The letter patterns are ‘tion’, ‘sion’ and ‘cian’. They need to complete Mymaths and another section from the homework pyramid. This homework is due by next Friday (19th May). Children are more than welcome to bring their homework in early if they have completed it.
Due to Year 6 SATs there was no Golden Leaf assembly.
The prayer bag in 5E went home with Anna and in 5F Thomas.
We are pleased to inform you that both Year 5 classes will be attending a Science afternoon at Oaklands. 5F’s date is Friday 26th May and 5E’s is Friday 16th June.
Just a reminder for children who are interested in taking part in the History competition, all entries are due by Friday 26th May.
Have a lovely weekend,
The Year 5 team
