Hello everyone and welcome to Skylarks first weekly blog! ?
The children in Skylarks Class have had a FANTASTIC first week back in school and I am so proud of how quickly they have settled back into school routines and how hard they are working.
Next week (W.B. 12.09.22)
There will be a ‘meet the teacher’ evening at school on Wednesday 14th September at 3:15pm, 3:45pm, 4:45pm or 5:15pm for anyone who would like to find out what goes on in Year 5.
In our English lessons next week, we will find out more about the daredevil feat carried out by Annie Edson Taylor and will use this to help us write a first-person recount from the viewpoint of one of the anxious bystanders. We will be focusing on using commas after fronted adverbials and organising paragraphs around a theme.
In our shared reading lessons we will be reading about the inspirational women in our text ‘Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls’. We will focus on drawing inferences and justifying our answers with evidence .
In maths we will be focusing on the place value of numbers to 100,000. We will place these numbers on a number line and will compare them using more than and less than symbols. We will also continue to consolidate our knowledge of the four operations through daily 4-a-day activities.
In science we will begin to explore our new topic all about materials. The children will plan their own investigations to help them explore the properties of a variety of everyday materials.
In RE we will be thinking about what we already know about Jesus’ teachings. We will consider what the bible says about how Christians should live, which will lead us into our new topic about the sermon on the mount.
During our topic day we will begin to look at our Year 5 theme of ‘Identity’. We will be thinking about our own identity and the identity of Northwich by sharing what we know already.
Our PE days for the first Autumn term will be Thursday (Cricket) and Friday with Mr Ault so your child should come to school in their PE kit on these days. Please remember PE kits should either be school kits or plain black/blue.
Homework
Please encourage your child to read for 20 minutes each evening and practice their times tables. The following websites are both great for times tables practice:

Spellings and maths homework will be set for the first time on Friday 16th September 2020.
Please remember that if you have any questions or queries, do not hesitate to get in contact ? Have a lovely weekend everyone!
