This week in Gloucestershire 5
Week beginning 9th June
This week, Gloucestershire have enjoyed the opening chapter of 'Pax' where we were introduced to the fox before he was sadly left in the forest by his owner. The children have been creating some fantastic setting descriptions using a range of figurative language, creating vivid images in the reader's mind.
In Maths, we have continued our work on decimals, looking at how to add and subtract numbers with different amounts decimal places. They have worked hard to keep their column method workings neat to avoid mistakes.
In History, the class have started learning about the city state of Athens. We have looked at who was able to vote and what they had control over, as well as how the system is still evident today in countries all over the world.
Thank you to all the adults who came to the Father's Day Breakfast on Wednesday. We hope you enjoyed learning about the power of 5 and that the method might be useful at home as well.
PE Lessons for term 5- Will be on Wednesday and Friday.

We recommend children in Year 5 children read for at least 15 minutes a day.
Please ensure you hear your child read regularly and record on Boom Reader using the parent app on your tablet/mobile no more than once a week:
Some helpful questions to ask the children and check their understanding as they read have been pasted below.
Children should bring their Accelerated Reading book to and from school each day. When they have finished reading their current book, children are asked to complete a quiz before choosing the next one:
