Year 5 Parent RSE Meeting

This week in Sussex 5:

Dear parents and carers,

The children have been very excited about writing their stories about Vola and Peter and the relationship these two characters have formed in our story, Pax. Working with different teachers the children have been able to demonstrate their enthusiasm and strengths in writing - it's always lovely to have a fresh audience for our writing.

In maths learning we are working hard to convert different measurements - mm to m, l to ml, g to kg. It's difficult to remember whether to multiply or divide and by 10, 100 or 1000. And even if we can convert, problem solving proves tricky to solve all the elements of the questions. We've had to go back through some problems and break them down into smaller steps.

In science the children have filtered some muddy soil, testing filter paper, blue paper towel and face masks to find our which type of paper filtered better - do ask your child which worked for them best.

In history we're learning about the legacy of Ancient Greece - last week we learnt more about the Acropolis and the temple to the god Athena. This week we're learning about Hippocrates - the father of medicine, finishing with some philosophers and considering some 'meaning of life' questions.

Please can we remind you to ask your children to apply sun cream before coming to school and to bring their sunhats.

Mrs Townshend and Ms Walker.

Spellings are set on a Wednesday for testing on the following Wednesday.

Times tables will be tested on a Friday - this week we will be testing squared x times table and squared x teens times table.
