Year 5 Blog Friday 23rd September

Date: 22nd Sep 2022 @ 8:19am

Welcome to your Friday Blog. 

We have had a wonderful week in Year 5.

Despite having only 4 days, we have done lots of amazing work and we earned lots of Golden Tokens. This meant we had a lovely Golden Time on Friday afternoon.

We have been looking at dialogue (speech) in English. We have been learning the rules and have had a go at writing our own dialogue between two characters from the book. Everybody has done really well. Look out for speech in your reading books. 

In maths we have been ordering and comparing numbers and placing them on a number line. We will continue with this next week and will be introduced to millions. 

On Thursday we had our 'Wonderful World' assembly. We heard a story called 'One House For All.' It was a lovely story which celebrated everybody's differences. It spoke about different countries, languages and cultures. 

We started a new topic in art. We are looking at an artist called Jo Quigley. In our art lesson we looked at lots of different pieces of art by Jo Quigley. We talked about what we could see and came up with questions about the art. We will be creating our own piece of art in the style of Jo Quigley. 

In French, we recapped the French vowel sounds and actions. Then we played some games to practise reading words with the vowel sounds in. Then we learnt how to name the school subjects and used our new vocabulary in a sentence with our opinion eg J'adore le francais et les sciences mais ma matiere preferee, c'est le dessin.

Check out or PE gallery to see us practising some indoor athletics.

Here are your spellings for next week. Most end with -ible or -able. There are also some which we have all been struggling with in our writing so need some extra practice.
