Summer 2
English
In English, we will be writing a series of diary entries focusing on different viewpoints. The diary entries will be based on the animation ‘Catch A Lot'. We will then show how the use of speech can move the story on effectively. We will use ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ by William Shakespeare to support our writing.
Reading
We love 'Reading for Pleasure'. Here are a few recommended books for you to read while you are in Year 5:
Maths
In maths, we will be using our knowledge of common equivalents to compare fractions with decimals and solve conversion problems in a range of contexts. We will also compare fractions with decimals beyond one. We will then move onto converting units and angles.
P.E.
Outdoor PE will be every Monday and indoor PE will be every Friday. Please come to school wearing your school uniform and bring the correct kit with you. Please remember to tie long hair back and wear layers to keep warm for outdoor PE.
IMPORTANT DATES
Sports day: 20th June
Homework
We will send homework home on a Friday. The children will have a new spelling list and a maths book each week. They will also have a grammar and comprehension homework on alternate weeks. Please ensure their completed homework is returned for marking by the following Thursday.
Our weekly spelling test will be on a Friday.
