Y5 Notices

English 

In English, we spent time self and peer editing our balanced arguments from last week. Then, we had a focus on reading comprehension. We read the legend ‘Zhou Chou and the Three Beasts’ and answered different styles of questions around it.

Maths 

In Maths this week, we have been looking at adding and subtracting decimals. We started the week looking at mental strategies before using the column method to add and subtract decimals numbers with different numbers of decimals places. 

Science and PSHE

In Science and PSHE, we have been focusing on animals and living things. In science we looked at gestation period of different mammals. In PSHE, we looked specifically at puberty. The resources we are using for PSHE have already been shared with you via email if you would like to see what has been covered.

We continued designing our books with moving parts. 

The homework has been shared with the children in class; further information can be found on Google Classroom. Please ask your child to plan when they will complete their homework. They should ask their teachers if they need further support before the end of school on Wednesday.
