Hello everyone and welcome to Skylarks weekly blog! ?
We have had another super week in Skylarks Class. The children have worked so hard and produced some super work.
Next week (W.B. 19.09.22)
School will be closed on Monday 19th September 2022.
In our English lessons next week, we will read more of our book ‘Queen of the Falls’. We will be focusing on the use of varied sentence starters to make our writing more cohesive and engaging.
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 focusing on the place value of numbers to 1,000,000. We will be learning how to partition these numbers and how to find 10, 100, 1000 and 100,000 more/less. We will also continue to consolidate our knowledge of the four operations through daily 4-a-day activities.
In science we will be learning about thermal insulators and conductors. We will be learning how to analyse a set of results to write a conclusion.
In RE we will be thinking about what we can learn from Jesus’ teachings. We will be exploring how Jesus wants Christians to live their lives today.
During our topic day we will continue to look at our Year 5 theme of ‘Identity’. We will be thinking about our own personal identity and what makes us unique.
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 7 of their maths book to be returned by Friday 23rd September. This homework is looking at place value.
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 23rd September will focus on words with the silent letter b:
Thumb, numb, crumb, debt, doubt, limb, combed, tomb
Please remember that if you have any questions or queries, do not hesitate to get in contact ?
