Year 5
Welcome to Year 5
Welcome back to the last term for children in Year 5. We are looking forward to another busy term where we will be continuing to practice for our end of year performance of Mary Poppins.
We will be looking at the story closely this term and writing our own versions for the Knowl Hill Village Association's annual writing competition.
Mrs Dickens
Week Beginning 14th June 2021
English - In English we are learning to a write dialogue for a story. We will be looking at different levels of formality within a story. The children will learn that dialogue can be reported speech as well as direct. We will be looking at using the correct punctuation and how to ensure we use a new line for a new person speaking.
Maths - We will be looking at decimals. Following our work on fractions earlier in the year we will learn how to add and subtract decimals and problem solve, using money and measures, where we will need to work out the correct operation needed. Moving on we will learn how to multiply a decimal by 10, 100, 1000.
Guided Reading - In guided reading we will continue reading Wonder by RJ Palacio and answering questions about the story, characters and vocabulary. We will also continue to use Reading Eggs in class to support our progress.
Spellings
We will be revisiting last terms spelling lists to ensure we have really learned them. We will start on Week 24 - Rule 60 Spelling Frame. Again children will be tested on Fridays
Year 5 and 6 Spelling List
Homework -
Children should be continuing to learn spellings each week.
Reading - Please encourage your child to read regularly, if there are no books available at home they are welcome to borrow one of mine from school. Alternatively, they can log in to their Reading Eggs account and complete tasks set on there.
Some children really do need to be learning their times tables. I will let them know which ones they need to practice. Again they can log-in to their Times Tables Rock Stars account.
