Weekly update:  Friday 17th July 2026

Wow! What a week we have had in Year 5. 

In English this week, we have been doing Reading quizzes, looking at articles about Space and a story about the last rabbit in England. 

During Maths, we have looked at lines of symmetry - horizontal, diagonal and vertical. We worked hard to consider all the possibilities of symmetry and how to use a mirror to check. 

In other areas of learning...

- In PSHE, we looked at money and discussed spending vs. saving. We talked about pocket money and chores to help others out. We had a range of scenarios which we responded to, as to whether the purchase should be made or savings to be added to! 

- We spent all day on Thursday doing out DT CAMS toys. We had some of Year 6 to help us. We used a range of different CAMS, footers, stoppers and dowel to make our toy. Everyone worked hard to make their toy and create their own toppers. Among many others we have a sloth in the rainforest, a footballer scoring and a battle ship in the sea. 

- In Science, we learnt all about the features of plants. We learnt how the leaves are flat to help access sunlight, needed for the process of photosynthesis. The stem helps hold up the plant and transport water up the plant. We discussed how plants adapt to their environment and are impacted by weather and climate. 

- For RE, we had our last lesson and discussed what it means to be a Muslim in Britain today. 

- We spent Wednesday afternoon doing Sports Day practice with Year 6, ahead of Friday's main event! 

Have a lovely weekend. 

Home Learning 

There is no set home learning this weekend, but if you can...

- Enjoy the outdoors

- Play a game with your family 

- Use some of your recycling to make a 3D model!

- Read a book or magazine to your family 

• From now on the Maths homework will be based on Purple Mash, not Mathletics. I will still be setting it in the same way on a Friday, due for the following Friday. All the children have/know their log-ins.
• Do not forget to get rocking and use https://play.ttrockstars.com/ It is a fantastic way to consolidate and practise all the Times Tables.
• app.sirlinkalot.org - for spelling practice .
