We have been getting into character as Vola this week, writing a diary entry, setting description and narrative focussing on Vola and her personality. We have found this trickier as we can relate best to Peter, the 12 year old boy. We are going to be thinking about Pax, the fox, later this week and trying to work out how his story is going to play out.
In science, we have filtered dirty water through blue paper towel. We were all surprised how well the water was filtered and how clear it had become. We sensibly decided we'd better not drink it though as there would still be micro-organisms in the water that we couldn't see.
We learnt about Greek mathematicians in history, learning about Thales, Pythagorus and Plato's theories and contributions to maths. We tested out Thales theory and were pleased that we could agree with him. We're researching about the Olympics later in the week, finding out how the modern Olympics are similar and different to the Ancient Olympics.
We have been learning about the 5 pillars of Islam in RE: this week we learnt about Zakat - giving money. We worked out 2.5% of our pocket money to find out what Muslims are expected to donate to charity. We weren't sure whether we would want to do this!

Times Tables Rockstars!
To keep practising the multiplication skills taught in class, and challenging yourself to keep the ones you already know fresh, don’t forget to log into your Times Tables Rockstars account.
You should be practising for at least 30 minutes a week.
We have a TT Rock Star of the week. Look out to see who the first one is!
Rapid recall of multiplication is essential for success in maths and Times Tables Rockstars gives you self-confidence, recognition and motivation to improve.
We will have a times tables check each Wednesday.
Challenge yourself to beat your score, build your knowledge and watch your confidence sore, as you become a Rockstar!
Please ask your class teacher if you need replacement log in details.

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:

Please note: pupil login details have changed slightly due to an upgrade that has taken place on the Accelerated Reader platform. Pupil login details (user name and password) should now be enter in all lower case (no capital letters at all). These login details are used each time your child quizzes a school reading book which carries an accelerated reading quiz code.
Music Knowledge Organiser
