*Our learning this week*
WB: 15.04.24
In English, we will continue to learn about free verse poetry, focusing on using figurative language to create imagery. In maths, we will begin to look at area by developing strategies to estimate the area of irregular shapes and estimating the area using standard units. In science we will describe the changes as humans/animals develop to old age and in RE our big question is: How do Christians believe
the world began?
Reminders:
PE on Tuesday afternoon
Swimming on Wednesday afternoon.

PE | PE is every Tuesday afternoon. PE kits are to be in school and children will get changed after lunch. Swimming is on a Wednesday afternoon. Please send children to school wearing their PE kit. |
Reading | Children are expected to read to an adult daily (around 15 minutes) and recorded in their diary. These will be checked on a weekly basis and reading completed at home will contribute towards the reading challenge. The children are responsible for changing their their own school reading book when necessary. |
Water Bottles | Children need to have a named school water bottle in school which they can refill as needed throughout the day. |
Homework | Homework will be set on a Friday, to be completed and handed in the following Friday. Maths will be set via MyMaths, online, and English will be sent out as a paper copy in a folder provided by school at the beginning of the year. |
Times Tables | In Year 5 children are expected to know all the times tables, including division facts. We do fortnightly times tables challenges in class to reinforce these. Below are some suggested websites to help children practise. We also encourage children to participate in TTRS little and often and take part in a weekly competition to see which class has participated the most each week! https://www.ttrockstars.com https://www.timestables.co.uk/ |
