Year 5 News

This week, we have continued writing our travel guide for places in North America and will be completing our final versions next week.  In maths, we have come to the end of our place value unit and will be moving on to the four operations.  We are really looking forward to welcoming parents into our maths lesson on Tuesday for our first parent workshop of the year.  In topic, we have been focusing on physical and human features of geography.  Mount Rushmore provoked some interesting discussions in class as to whether it was physical or human.  In DT, we have started measuring and sawing wood, ready to construct our money boxes.  We have also made some prototypes to test the best way of joining wood.  

Your child should come home with their spelling book and the new spellings we will be working on next week, ready for the test on Friday.  If they forget to bring their book home, please see the new spelling list below.  We hope you have a lovely weekend.
