Year 5 - Blwyddyn 5
Welcome to the Year 5 Noticeboard
Week beginning April/Ebrill 30th/30ain
April has been a short but busy month in Year 5. We started our new topic Express Yourself. We started our topic with Epic Planning, the children had amazing ideas for areas they would like to study over the course of the term, including a trip to the beach to try out some beach art. We looked at the work of the artists Keith Haring, Banksy, Andy Goldsworthy and Helen Elliot in Expressive Arts. We also tried out the new school drone with our own version of Art Attack. The children loved it, although there some rumours about spy drones circulating! In maths we have moved on to area and perimeter, while in science the children have been learning all about pollination and parts of a plant. The Year 5 garden area is really taking shape, thanks to the help of Mrs Holland and the children have researched and planted fruit trees and the flower beds are really taking shape. In music the children have started to make their own songs to which they will be developing music videos and artwork to accompany them.
We are looking forward to our trumpet and trombone concert on Tuesday May 5th and Sports’ Day on Wednesday May 13th. Can’t wait to see you there.

Home Learning
Our expectation are for the children to read daily at home. We check their reading records each Friday. Please help us monitor this by keeping this record up to date.
It is essential that pupils develop quick recall of their times tables. We have regular TT Rockstars sessions in school. Pupils can practice their tables in a variety of ways including logging in to Sumdog from home
Sumdog activities will also be set on a regular basis. Each time these are set, the children have 1 week to complete these.
