Class 4 Blog

Wow, Another week and another 100% reading score! well done year 5!!!!

I would just like to recap on residential as there was not a blog last week. I have never been so proud of a class, year 5 conducted themselves in the perfect manner. Everything asked of year 5 they did with 100% and the biggest smile on their face.

Also, reports have gone out, they are in the children’s bags ( I watched the children put the reports in their bags )

WOW!!!! 100% reading score and 99% attendance! just what class 4 needed! I asked for this and they delivered so a massive well done to year 5 for that!! As it is getting a lot closer to residential the class have been super excited! However they have still managed to keep their work heads on and have come back with the correct attitude this term.

As we are finalising their last term in year 5 I just want to congratulate them for the amount of work they have put in this year, it has been amazing!!

Another good week from Class 4 this week! Our reading percentage was up to 91%.

Homework.

In English this week we have been finding out about different story endings. I would like the children to research each story ending and link this with a particular film/book. I would like the children to also explain how their chosen film/book fits in with this ending.

Here are the endings they need to focus on.

Resolved ending – All questions answered.
Unresolved ending – Most questions answered.
Unexpected ending – Catches the audience by surprise.
Cliff-hanger ending – No questions answered, leaves the audience not knowing.
Twist ending – The audience didn’t see this coming.
Tied Ending – It finishes where it starts.

I would like 4 reads and at least 30 minutes on TT Rockstar’s before Wednesday.

A good week for year 5 this week. We have started our new history topic which is Anglo-Saxons and the children loved it!

What a week! The year 5’s have been unbelievable! It has been Design and Technology week this week and they have put their all into it. The pictures will be available on Twitter to have a sneak peak.

Over the half term I am going to give year 5 a bit of break, there will be some homework but not too much.

Spellings:

advice
device
ambitious
tenancy
compliancy
shoulder
relevant
infectious
superstitious
vicious
devise
prophesy

Homework:

I would like our class to complete at least an hour on TT Rockstar’s over the holidays. This will hugely benefit the children going into their next math unit.
As our next English unit is debate/argument writing I would like the children to pick a side and write an argument for the following:

1. School starts at 7am and finishes at 1pm
2. School starts at 10 and finishes at 5pm

The children should pick either 1 or 2 and write their argument which one they would like and why. When we get back into school we then as a class have an argument surrounding the subject.

Have an amazing half term year 5!!!!!!
