Year 5 had some very special guests come to school! They came to celebrate all the marvellous work and many other great achievements from this academic year! The children were amazing hosts and ensured everyone had a refreshing beverage and more than enough treats!
Year 5 spent the day at Quest Academy! They spent the day investigating whether exercise had an impact on focus and intelligence! In order to investigate the children had to come up with a prediction and give reasons as to why they thought this! While at rest, they took a test! This involved a few times table calculations and a spot the difference quiz! This was all while taking and recording the highest heart rate they had during the test! We then went outside and participated in a few exercises and then completed another test!
What did you discover?
Last Wednesday, year 5 participated in the long awaited sports day! I was highly impressed with their enthusiasm and support of each other! Great team work!
In preparation for ‘Snack and Chat’, year 5 have been baking! They have used Maths skills, reading and English comprehension in order to bake treats !
What did you enjoy most about the baking?

Spellings:
This week we have focused on spellings with silent letters. In an alphabetic writing system, a silent letter is a letter that, in a particular word, does not correspond to any sound in the word’s pronunciation. This week the children are to learn the 10 words below and they will be tested next week.
doubt island
lamb solemn
thistle knight
column resign
mortgage guard

Next week we will be learning about Roman Numerals. For homework, we would like you to create a poster with helpful hints about how to remember what each numeral represents. You could write a poem, create a rap or visually show how you could remember the values. Go and be creative!
Times Tables Homework:
By the end of Year 5 you should have learnt and know all the times tables.
This week you have chosen to learn ____ and _____ in order/out of order/division facts
We would like you to show your learning in any way (some examples could be: as a video on the blog; write the tables out if you’re not confident; create a poster; writing a song or poem). Remember to encourage a family member to test you! You could even complete some multiplication sums using the table you have chosen!

I had a few queries regarding lunch tomorrow. Sports Day will be held at 1 o’clock tomorrow. As a result, lunch will be slightly earlier, but the picnic will not be happening. Instead the children can either have a packed lunch or go and have a school dinner as usual.

Handwriting:
To help you learn your spellings and improve your handwriting, you are to either write a sentence using each of the words above, using your best handwriting or try to use the words within a descriptive paragraph. This is also a great way to show that you understand the meaning of the words.
