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.

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.
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:
School starts at 7am and finishes at 1pm
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!!!!!!

Another good week for year 5 this week. We have been all steam ahead this week with year 5 completing a lot of work. Our reading percentage has fallen slightly this week with a score of 80%, I would really like to see us get 100% next week to bounce back from this. Also as a class I would love for us to partake in the Brandesburton Bake off, this is on the 11th of March and it is to bake a cake relating to your favourtie book. It is £4 to enter and this is paid through parent pay. also our spellings last week were not the best they have been, can we really try and push them this week.

Homework
As we are getting closer to year 6 one thing I would love the children to work on is their reasoning in maths. We are amazing at arithmetic but our reasoning is not on the same level. Therefore I have given the children a reasoning paper, this paper will only take 20 minutes.
Also could the children please complete 30 minutes on Timestable Rockstar’s this will be done every Wednesday. This is to help them in our math’s currently, this is working amazingly and I can already see improvements on this.

We have been making John Dyer inspired Mayan Art, So far we have made our stencils and we have printed our first piece ( many more left to do ). Our reading percentage this week was not amazing with 74%. I would like class 4 to respond to this with a 100% the first week back please!
However, hats off to class 4 for this half term, they have really put 100% into every piece of work these past five weeks and they really do deserve a break to recharge and re-set.
