Hello everyone and welcome to Skylarks weekly blog! ?
Another fantastic week in Skylarks Class. I can’t believe we are looking ahead to the final week of this half term. What a super 7 weeks it has been!
Next week (W.B. 17.10.22)
Reminders:
- Monday 17th October 2022 – KS2 Harvest Festival in church at 9.15am

- Friday 21st October 2022 – School closes for half term and will reopen on 31st October 2022.
In our English lessons next week, we will be using our plans to help us write and edit our own sequence of dairy entries from the viewpoint of Annie Edson Taylor. The children will be challenged to apply all of our learning from this half term in their writing.
In our shared reading lessons, we will be reading about the inspirational women in our text ‘Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls’. We will continue to focus on drawing inferences and justifying our answers with evidence.
In maths we will be looking at written methods of addition and subtraction. We will also continue to consolidate our knowledge of the four operations through daily 4-a-day activities.
In science we will be investigating soluble and insoluble materials by carrying out a fair test. We will make predictions, record out results and draw scientific conclusions.
In RE we will assessing our learning from this half term on the Sermon on the mount by answering the following questions: ‘How does the ‘Sermon on the Mount’ help people to follow Jesus?’ and ‘How did Jesus want Christians to live out each verse in their lives?’
In our Art lesson, we will be developing our understanding of colour by exploring tint, tone and shade.
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
In year 5 the children will be set a weekly maths homework that they should complete and mark at home using the answers in the back of the homework book.
If your child is finding the homework tricky, please do let Mr Beswick or myself know so that we can offer them support in school.
The children should complete page 11 of their maths book to be returned by Friday 21st October. This homework is looking at Roman Numerals.
Please also encourage your child to read for 20 minutes each evening and practice their spellings/times tables. The following websites are both great for times tables practice:

Our spellings for the quiz on Friday 21st October will continue to look at words containing the -ible suffix:
Invisible, edible, flexible, resistible, responsible, impossible, irreversible, convertible
Please remember that if you have any questions or queries, do not hesitate to get in contact ?
