This week in Gloucestershire 5
Week beginning 12th May
This week, Gloucestershire have worked hard in English, where they have been retelling the story of the cyclops using exciting vocabulary, speech and parenthesis. They have had to think carefully about the structure of their narrative and about ensuring all the relevant details have been included.
In Maths, we are consolidating our knowledge of the properties of shape, thinking about how many vertices, edges and faces various 3D shapes have. We have also started looking at coordinates and using coordinate grids to translate shapes in different directions.
In History, the class have enjoyed learning about the geography of ancient Greece and acting out the different time periods. Science has had us testing how temperature of water decreases over time, using thermometers to record accurate measurements.
In PSHE, we discussed what our responsibilities include and how we can be responsible for our own safety both in school and at home. We thought about what independence is and many children decided that they would be happy to stay children as they do not fancy having the responsibilities of an adult!

Reading
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:
