Year 5 Science Experiment

In Science this afternoon, Year 5 have set up an experiment looking at what might happen to different liquids if they are cooled in a freezer.

We had some great predictions and we can’t wait to see what will happen to the liquids over the next week.

Year 5 Music Service – 25.09.23

Base 13 were very excited to welcome Brandon, from the Music Service, into class this afternoon to start our Music lessons this term. We used Garage Band on the iPads to start to make our own beats and rhythms.
Base 12 are going to enjoy this next week!

Year 5 Forest School

We are excited to let you know that on a Thursday afternoon, Year 5 have been given a Forest School session. Please ensure that your child brings a waterproof coat and a spare pair of outdoor shoes (wellies/trainers) in a carrier bag.

Base 13 Thermal Conductors and Insulators Experiment – 20.09.23

This afternoon, in Base 13, we have been testing different materials to see which is the best thermal insulator. We were challenged to find out which cup (china, cardboard, polystyrene or plastic) would keep the water the hottest, for the longest. Great teamwork Base 13!

Year 5 Maths

Today in Year 5, we explored using a Gattegno chart to represent place value. We multiplied and divided numbers by 10, 100 and 1000 by moving counters up and down the chart. This has really helped us understand how numbers relate to eachother.

Welcome to Year 5

Welcome to Year 5!

We hope you’ve all had a great summer and we are looking forward to seeing you.

Please find below some useful information which you will also find in the front of your child’s reading record.

Each week, spelling, SPAG and maths homework will be set.

Spelling homework will be sent home on Friday stuck in the reading record. Please can you ensure that your child copies out their spellings each night and practises for their spelling test the following Friday.

Maths homework is set via MyMaths every Friday and should be completed by the following Thursday.

SPAG homework will be set every Friday in their CPG SPAG books. This will be one or two pages, to be completed by the following Thursday.

Please try to read with your child as much as possible at home and question them on what they are reading – ideally everyday.

Our PE days are Tuesday (outdoors) and Wednesday (indoors) so please send your child into school wearing their PE kit on those days.

Each pupil has their own Times Table Rock Stars login. It would be very beneficial to your child if they could play on this at least once a week.

We will update the website weekly with photos and information and you will always find the spellings, PE days and weekly timetables here so do stop by regularly.

Thank you,

Mrs Stinson and Miss Perks
