Wow!  What a busy and musical week for Y5 last week! Northwich Sings was a fantastic opportunity for the children to experience, singing in a choir and then to play with the Halle!  Two great events which I know the children enjoyed.  Photos will be added soon!

Some Y5's were also part of the winning cross country team and the girls cricket team which came 2nd in their tournament too! There is more sport to come in the next week or two with Sports Day on Friday and National Sports Week with lots going on.  On Friday please can children come to school in their school PE kit.

Homework - In RE we are going to start to look at world religions.  There are lots if you use the internet to research.  I would like you to find out key facts only about Judaism, Hinduism, Islam and Sikhism.  Is there a symbol which is used for each religion?  Where in the world is this religion from? What does each religion believe?  Keep it simple!  When you reseach you will find too much information!!

Also remember you have been asked by the Wider Opps tutors to find your music 'Trickier tunes' which you have already been given, as lots of you were missing it today!  You will be playing this in the Arts Evening on 13 July.

A busy week ahead after a busy weekend for some! Children have had a great time with our Italian visitors and some Y5's have had the wonderful experience of hosting children.

Homework this week is three pieces of 'My Maths' linked to our work on measurement.  Remember to complete the lesson first aswell as this helps to reinforce the learning.

Tuesday is Northwich Singing Festival at the Memorial Hall and our trip to the Halle on Thursday so lots of song lyrics and notes still to perfect!

Homework - Please choose ten words from the Y5 and Y6 spelling list and make a poster to help you learn these spellings.  Make it colourful using the strategies you know. (See link below - you will have to copy it into your browser)

Please can you also continue to learn the words for the songs for Northwich Sings and for the Halle and practise your instruments.

Homework for the next two weeks is a learning log. I would like you to present information about one famous volcano eruption, earthquake or tsunami that has happened in the world.  Your homework two weeks ago was to find out how they happened so you don't need to include this.  This learning log needs to focus on what happened, when, what devastation was caused, a map of where in the world and anything else you can find out that will be important and interesting to the reader.  We will share these in school.  Please this needs to be created as a learning log not a PowerPoint presentation. 

You need to be learning your words for Northwich Sings and the Halle.  Lots to do! For information the Wider opps tutors have told the children that there are no sheets of music for the concert so children have been taught their notes and they need to learn them off by heart.

We have been reading a book in our guided reading sessions called 'The Paperbag Prince'.  The children are very familiar with the story. For homework this week I would like the children to write a formal letter from the council to the 'Paperbag Prince'.  They should remember the reasons why!  

Also 'My Maths' from last week should be completed.  I chatted with the children about this last week and its important they complete the lesson too before the piece of homework.  Some children are only completing the piece once and not achieving a high %.  Children need to be challenging themselves to achieve the highest score they can!  Lots of the children have told me how much they like My Maths homework, so hopefully this is clearer for parents at home to support.

Spellings - we have been looking at 'ie' and 'ei' words the last two weeks.  Can the children spell them correctly and use them in a sentence?  They are in their diaries.  What other words can you find which follow this pattern?

Please can you make sure children are learning words for the songs for 'Northwich Sings' which will take place in June at the Memorial Hall, with lots of other schools from Northwich.  They were sent home on pink paper so they didn't get lost!  The words also need to be brought into school so we can continue learning in class too!

Its our class assembly on Friday so hopefully you will be able to join us to celebrate lots of interesting work!

Thanks

Our topic this term is 'What makes the earth angry?' details will follow later this week to explain the areas of learning.

For homework I would like you to research one of the following areas - earthquakes, volcanoes or tsunami and find out what happens when one of these natural disasters happen.

Also Y5 are going to take part in a really exciting project with other Northwich schools called 'Northwich Sings' with a performance in early June,  The children need to learn all the words of the songs so please can you support your child with this task - children have a copy of the words.

Thank you

Hope you all had a lovely Easter break.....lots of interesting places visited according to the children. They were all pleased to share their experiences in class.

This week in school we are focussing on the 'Environment'.  For homework I would like the children to deisgn a poster to perusade others to look after the environment.  As I discussed with the children today this could be part of the environment where they live e.g the park.  They can design the poster either in their homework book or on a piece of paper and stick in.

We had a great session of orienteering this afternoon focusing on our school environment, which everyone enjoyed!

Remember to practice your instrument too!

Mrs Jones

 

27 March 2017

Children all had a great week last week whether in London or in school.  All have learnt more about the meaning of our 'British Values'.  

Homework this week is 'My Maths'.  There are four pieces to complete by next week looking at fractions, decimals and percentages which has been our focus for this half term in maths. It is a good idea if you have a go at the lesson as well for revision before the questions.

The children have also been asked to work on some new music and notes over the Easter holidays by the Wider Opps tutors.  Please note there is no Wider Opps session next Monday so instruments can stay at home.

Our Lenten fundraising activities have begun this week.  In Y5 we are collecting silver coins (5p and 10p) to represent scales using the Cafod theme of 'little fish turn into big fish'.  So please can you send any coins in to make our BIG FISH!  Will post a photo when its complete!

Thank you

Mrs Jones

22.3.17 Some extra information about homework this week:

Year 5 homework this week is to research British parliament. What can you find out about the structure of our parliament? Who makes the decisions? How is parliament formed? 

We will be using the information you find to support a mini-project on British values.

Homework books are in needed in school this week so children can use their fact files to support learning in literacy.  Y5 have been set a piece of science homework this week and need to carry out the investigation at home and complete the questions on the sheet.  Spellings - ible and able words!  

We look forward to meeting with you all this week to discuss your child.

6 March 2017

This week I would like the children to produce a fact file about 'African Elephants'.  We are using a book called 'The Hunter' in Literacy which the children have loved so far!  I would like the children to research how they behave aswell as finding out details about the species.  Please remember the overall presentation of your piece as some children have not been applying our core value of 'pride' to their homework as well as they could!

Online appoointments are open for parents evening next week and we look forward to meeting with you.  Any problems making an appointment please contact the office.  These are over two nights so check when choosing your appointment.

Thank you

Hopefully everyone managed to access 'My Maths' at home easily last week. Please remember there are lots of games that children can access on this even when there are no homework pieces set.

This week we see a national campaign for ' Safer Internet Day 7th February'  Please discuss this at home and make sure you know what your child is accessing.  We will be looking at it together in class too!

Homework - A learning log.  This should be handed in on Thursday 16 February (the Friday is an INSET day)  Imagine you have to explain to a person of another faith the meaning of 'Lent'.  What happens during this season in the liturgical year?  What is it all about?  YOU MUST ONLY USE A DOUBLE PAGE OF YOUR HOMEWORK BOOK...BE CREATIVE.... HOW CAN YOU ADD INTERESTING FEATURES TO YOUR PAGES?

I shouldn't have any books handed in this week.  Remember what we have talked about!  This week you could be reseraching, discussing the information at home and planning your task.  Then next week completing it!  REMEMBER YOUR HANDWRITING TOO!  EXTRA HOUSEPOINTS ON OFFER FOR EXTRA EFFORT WITH HANDWRITING!

 

23 January 2017

Homework this week is a reading task from the inside cover of the homework book.  Please remember handwriting and presentation, these are really important for our work in Year 5. 

Also this week what is your times table you are focussing on? Keep learning it......over and over....can you time yourself how long it takes to write it down, what about backwards too?

Year 5 settled well back into school routines last week with some tired faces by Friday.  A few reminders.....

Homework - this needs to be handed in by Friday at the latest.  I only had 18 books returned last week!

Wider Opps - instruments need to be in school every Monday as the lesson is first.  Today there were three children without their instruments and when an instrument is not brought in this makes the session difficult for both child and tutors.  The tutors have asked the children to practice their pieces at least 10 times before next week, to polish their tunes. Their musical skills are developing well and 'the band' is performing well!  

Homework this week is stuck in homework books - its linked to our RE about Inspirational People.  We discussed this in class and talked about that this is not choosing people who are famous but who have inspired us!  What is the difference?

Mrs Jones

9 January 2017

Happy New Year to you all!  I hope you all had a lovely time and managed some quieter days! Homework information is stuck into books this week.  You need to think of one question related to the Ancient Greeks, our topic this term.  

I have also given the children a list of words which they need to learn to spell in Y5 and Y6.  The children need to choose up to 10 words per week that they are not confident with spelling, to focus on at home to ensure they know and use these words correctly. Please support your child with this by using the look, cover, write, check method.  This will further support our work in class.

5 December

We have a really busy at school this week.....remember its our trip to Weaver Hall Museum tomorrow so a packed lunch is needed unless you have ordered one from school. Homework this week is a reading task and also to learn ALL your words for the play and song lyrics.  This is a really important part of the homework this week! Costumes need to be brought in next Monday ready for the dress rehearsal.  

Mrs Jones

Yesterday was the 1st Sunday in Advent.  What does 'Advent' mean?  Find out about the traditions which happen in churches during the season of Advent.  What colour is used in chuch during this season? Pictures/ drawing and writing to explain is needed!  

Spelling homework - what words can you find with a hypen?  Does it follow the rule we talked about in class?

Letters have been sent home today regarding costumes for Aladdin.  Please let me know if you have any difficulties but please also remember you don't need to buy anything special!  

Mrs Jones

21 November

Homework this week is 'My Maths'.  We have been learning about multiplication and different written methods.  This homework will give further examples of this.

Do you know what is the difference between an autobiography and a biography?

For your homework this week I would like you to find out information and facts about a person who you admire.  It doesn’t have to be someone famous either!  You will then use this information in class to write a biography about this person.  You need to find as many facts as you can, date they were born, where they were born,  likes, dislikes, just to name a few!  You will be better finding out too much information rather than not enough.  Think carefully about your choice of person, it could be your favourite author, sports person or pop star to name a few!  

Remember you just need to research the information, you don't have to write the biography we will do this in school!

What is special about the moon tonight?  (Monday 14th)

Well done for some super research work for your learning logs last week!  And some great creativity. Photos to follow soon! Lots of interesting facts about life in Anglo Saxon times!  In December I have organinsed a trip to Weaver Hall Museum to further support our work about this time in history.  

Your homework this week is to investigate 'Homophones' which we have been looking at in class.  What do we say?.... A homophone has the ______sound but ________meaning.

I have sent home an empty book which you are going to fill up with lots of homophones! Don't just write out the words, explain the meaning too!  Add words that you need to remember the differences between.  Please don't just write lists of words!  Can you think of anything to help you remember how to spell ones you find tricky?  This is to help you with our spelling focus at the moment!  Happy homophone hunting!

Remember keep learning your tables too!  Which ones do you find tricky?

Mrs Jones

 

Homework - A Learning Log 

To be handed in by Friday 21 October 2016

This homework is for two weeks and the amount of work and effort you put into this piece should reflect this!  

You are only allowed to use one double page spread of your homework book but you can add to your page in any way you like.  This is your chance to produce a creative piece of work linked to the theme.  I don't expect to just see information printed off the internet and stuck in! Remember this is two weeks work so should take you two weeks!  There shouldn't be any books handed back in this week as this tells me not enough time has been spent on this work!

Our theme is 'What was it like to be an Anglo Saxon?' 

I look forward to reading them!

Remember to keep learning your tables!  What number are you going to be today to help you learn a fact you are unsure off?  "I am   x    =      "

Mrs Jones

3 October 2016

Lots of interesting homework from last week about the Phases of the Moon.  I will put some photos on soon so you can see some of the variations sent in!  

Your homework this week is 'My Maths'.  I have allocated you some activities to complete linked to our learning so far this term - place value, negative numbers and rounding.  I have given you until 10 October to complete this homework.  It is expected to be completed and isn't only if you want to!  I will look at the results and comment on your work!  

If you have any difficulties with logging on your 'My Maths' accessing a computer at home or have lost your log on please come and speak to me about it.  

Also I hope you are continuing to learn your tables, the ones that YOU find tricky!  If you are confident with your tables, do you know the division facts?  Can you apply them to larger numbers?

Please remember this week to bring in any items of food for our Harvest collection.

19 September

There were some really interesting pieces of homework last week about your names!  Well done! This week I would like you to choose one of the reading tasks which are already in your book.  You just need to complete one!  Please remember your handwriting and presentation is very important too.......handwriting should be joined, legible and in black pen if you have your license.  

Other things to do at home this week....reading and learning your tables.  In Y5 you are expected to have these at your finger tips so you need to make sure you are still learning these and going over them regularly!
