Year 5 Parent RSE Meeting

This week in Sussex 5:

Dear parents and carers,

Your children have managed brilliantly in this heat! They are hydrating and resting well. We did manage a short game of rounders on Tuesday before the day heated up which the children were pleased about! Other lessons have been quiet, gentle and focussed.

In maths we are finishing our decimals unit but multiplying and dividing decimals by 10, 100 and 1000. Those children that can do this easily have been challenged to solve problems and use SPED to prove what they know. Others of us have used slidy boards to watch the numbers move but not change.

In English we have been writing setting descriptions, predictions and discussing the many twists and turns of the quest. The children were very shocked about poor Peter's predicament in his last chapter. The children's focus on sentence structure, to include relative clauses, expanded noun phrases, fronted adverbials and parenthesis to show subordinating clauses has been excellent - some great examples have been shared.

In science we sieved mixtures to separate materials this week. We will be filtering mixtures next week to notice the difference and any improvements in separation. We have learnt the words heterogeneous and homogeneous - see if your child knows the difference!

We started our RSE lessons this week. The children were very attentive and interested and had many questions. They may ask you some questions over the next couple of weeks if they're unsure about some of the names or processes that we discussed.

Stay cool!

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 mixed x times table and mixed x teens times table.
