We hope you are enjoying our new project… ‘The great 2021 wonderful world fair’ presented by Beijing and Washington class. Throughout this project, we will be continuing to learn about the important inventors of our world. We also hope you have enjoyed our first ‘Making Memories’ Friday, since seeing your pictures and recipes, you made us incredibly hungry – we even had scrambled eggs for lunch ourselves! We really look forward to building upon our year group cookbook – it’s going to be delicious!
Maths and English
In Maths, this week, we will be moving onto multiplication, recapping some key methods from last year and applying those to 4 digit numbers. We will be doing some live and pre-recorded lessons as well as using powerpoints and videos to introduce the idea for each lesson.
In English, we will be continuing to explore fantasy stories, focusing on character creation and description. We hope you are enjoying The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe chapter readings – it was brilliant to see your ideas for the ‘What would be in your wardrobe?’ task. Great work Year 5!

We are continuing with our live lessons next week as well as hopefully pre-recording one other lesson for the day for you to watch We are really hoping that this new way of learning is working for everyone, we really feel that it is enabling us to learn together as if we were in school.
Thank you for being so patient with us as we learn new technical strategies, please make sure that you read the Parents’ Teams Tips document that Mr. Payne sent out as this is a helpful guide to using Teams. So many of you are joining us for our live lessons, it’s beyond brilliant!
Next week, we will be introducing an afternoon PE session – how exciting! Get warmed up and ready to go!
