Hello everyone and welcome back to Skylarks weekly blog! ?
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter break. Skylarks have had a fantastic first week back and have all worked really hard.
Next week (W.B. 24.04.23)
In our English lessons next week, we will continue to read more of ‘Malala’s Magic Pencil’ by Malala Yousafzai. We will explore a variety of informal writing techniques and use these to plan and write a diary entry and a blog post.
In shared reading we will continue to read our text ‘Exploring Space’. We will be focussing on ‘Drawing Inferences’. We will use our visualising techniques to infer characters’ thoughts, feelings and emotions.
In maths we will be focussing on finding equivalent fractions and decimals. We will also consolidate our understanding of the four operations through daily 4-a-day activities.
In RE we will use drama techniques to role play scenarios were forgiveness was not shown. We will then discuss how we could change each scenario to follow God’s word.
In Science we will be working on a PowerPoint to explain how the human body changes from birth up until old age.
In Art we will explore sketching techniques further and look at how to draw bodies in proportion.
Our PE day for the Spring Term will be a Wednesday so your child should come to school in their PE kit on this day. 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 37 of their maths homework book to be returned by Friday 28th April.
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 28th April will focus on words ending in -ence:
innocence, difference, influence, violence, conference, experience, obedience, patience
Please remember that if you have any questions or queries, do not hesitate to get in contact ?
