Welcome to the last Class 5 blog of the term! A third of your Year 6 year has already been completed! We have an exciting week – exhibiting our theme work in the museum on Monday, serving and providing the catering for our museum cafe as well as dancing the 1940’s ballroom jive whilst the museum is open is just the beginning of a hectic week. We have our Christmas lunch on Wednesday and our KS2 Christmas party on Thursday, followed by the carol service on Friday. Class 5 will be part of the Carol Service organisation as usual.

Homework  15/12/14 

English

Homework this week and over the holiday is to write a review in your opinion of how the All Saints whole school museum was received. Can you explain why the work was completed linked to the theme?

I am still expecting a book review each week on the blog when you have finished a Bug Club book. L6 books may take a fortnight to complete.

Maths

Your homework over the holidays is to explain and learn the equivalence chart for percentages, fractions and decimals to an adult at home and learn it off by heart. This knowledge and understanding will have a significant impact on your mental maths ability, speed and calculations in maths next term.

I would like to wish you all a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We have arrived at the penultimate week of the Autumn Term. We will be organising and preparing our museum exhibits this week, polishing our ballroom jive skills and mapping a magnetic field around a magnet in physics. Weather permitting we will be having a hockey match to prove our skills and studying the Battle of Britain during WW2. Long multiplication practice and application along with reading large Roman Numerals will be our focus in maths. We are continuing to study Michael Morpurgo’s War Horse, adding more to our knowledge of the First World War as well as grammar and phonics skills.
