Year 5 – Monday 20th April
Good Morning Year 5
Welcome to the Summer Term!! We hope you all had a fantastic Easter Break and were able to relax and have a break – with a bit of chocolate too. Although we can’t be all together, we are thinking about you and missing you and hoping that we all get to head back to school as soon as we can. The year 5 teachers have been enjoying the sunshine over the last two weeks, making the most of the time outside.
With a new half term, brings a new topic. Our new topic is the Cracking Caribbean.We will be thinking about the islands of the Caribbean, before looking at one of the islands in particular. We will be thinking about the physical features, human features, the weather and then how this island compares to the UK.
Similar to before the Easter holidays, we will be posting your jobs for the day on here for you to work through at your own pace. Just a reminder that these can be done whenever you can. Try your best to complete them in, but don ‘t worry if you are struggling, leave it and come back to it when you can. Please keep in touch by emailing year5@stmarksce.org.uk with your pictures, questions and requests – we love to hear from you.
For those of you who are completing their Maths with ease, and for those who would like further challenge, Miss Goddard is starting a ‘Daily Maths Challenge’ page on the school website where she will upload a new set of challenges everyday. If you complete today’s work and would like to access it, please click here.
