Remembrance Assault Course

Dear Parents/Carers,

In order to remember the hardship faced by the troops during the World Wars, Year 5 will be completing an assault course on Wednesday 11th November. On this day, your child will need to come into school wearing old clothes and footwear which may get muddy depending on the weather. We will be doing the assault course at the end of the school day.

If your child is staying for an after-school club, please could they bring in a change of clothes.

Thanks in advance,

Year 5

Half term tasks

We hope that you have a lovely time over the half term holidays and return to school ready for learning.

Over half term, we would like you to really focus on developing your best handwriting and recapping some key spellings missed due to lockdown.

Diversity Day

Today we learned all about Indra Lal Roy, who was an Indian ace fighter pilot flying for the British in World War I. The children really engaged with the story of his resilience in gaining 10 dogfight victories and even seemingly coming back from the dead after he was presumed dead in a crash in 1916.

This afternoon, we celebrated his achievements by creating RAF artwork using mono printing. This is a really challenging technique, but the children kept persevering to be successful.

Extra Writing Practise and Times Tables Ideas

If you would like your child to get some extra practise at writing at a Year 5 level, they could try using any of these story starters as a launchpad into their writing. Remember to get your child to re-read their work and edit to make improvements and to check that it makes sense.

https://www.literacyshed.com/story-starters.html

This next website is a fantastic resource which can help creative writing. The children could develop word choice and use a thesaurus to describe the images, or they could fix the “sick sentences” or work on their inference skills by answering the questions.

In terms of learning times tables, here are a few links to help develop speed and reasoning.

Maybe you could even do a “rock slam” against your child on Times Table Rock Stars!
