This week the children have been developing their understanding of: ordering decimals up to 3 decimal places; adding and subtracting with decimals; and solving different word problems involving decimal numbers. In English, they have been learning about features of a newspaper report in preparation for writing their own newspaper reports about the wreck of the Zanzibar.
For homework the children have 6 spellings using the ‘ible’ and able’ letter patterns, Mymaths and they need to complete another section from the homework pyramid. This homework is due by next Friday (26th May). Children are more than welcome to bring their homework in early if they have completed it.
This week Eva Townsin (5E) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave her to work really hard even when there are distractions’ and Freddie Dunaway (5E) has his writing displayed on the showstoppers wall. George Crocker (5F) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave him to work hard in improving his handwriting skills’. Jonathan Smith (5F) has his work on the showstoppers wall too.
A final reminder: the History competition entries are due Friday 26th May.
Have an amazing weekend,
The Year 5 team
