Class 4 Blog

Welcome back! There has been a few tests/assignments this week ( which I am sorry for! ) But the children have once again blown me away! attendance was 100% which is amazing also!

Spellings

ancient
efficient
science
conscience
sufficient
inefficient
proficient
mischief
species
deficiencies

As the children have given me 100% in everything this week I have decided to be nice and give them a week off from their homework. However I would still like the children to be spending 5-10 minutes a day on Times Table Rockstar’s and minimum 3 reads for Friday.

Once again if you do have any queries, questions or you would like some more work, please give me an e-mail on trotta@brandesburton.eriding.net

Many Thanks,

Mr Trott,

Half term!! Class 4 have been blown me away this half term. The effort the class has put in never fails to impress me.

This week we have been really focusing on Art. It has been a really hard but enjoyable week and the final pieces look FANTASTIC (photo’s to follow on twitter)

Over the week off

Over the next week there is a number of things the children can be focusing on. I have sent some math’s home for the children to complete, this is so they are ready for the end of unit test when we come back ( this is optional, however it will really help ). There is also some English the children have to do for the Monday we come back, this will be to describe a setting they have seen/been to over the holidays. This should include:2x Similes, 2x Metaphors, 2x Personification and all of the senses. If this could be e-mailed to me or just a photo this would be fantastic. The children all have their Times Table Rockstar passwords so 5 minutes a day would be amazing.

Thank you

On a personal note, thank you to class 4 for making my first term so enjoyable! Now it’s time for the children and Mr. Trott to get some rest, recharge our batteries and get ready for next term!

Once again if you do have any queries, questions or you would like some more work, please give me an e-mail on trotta@brandesburton.eriding.net

Many Thanks,

Mr Trott,

Class 4 have topped the charts this week! having 95% in both attendance and reading percentage! Well done year 5, your desire to be here is amazing.

Parents evening.
It was great to meet and talk to all the parents this week and give a real insight into what we are doing in year 5 and how we’re all getting on. If you do have any unanswered questions please feel free to e-mail me.

Spellings.- The scores this week again were very impressive, the children are really getting involved and excited by getting good marks and it is brilliant to see!

Homework
As a school we are really pushing TT Rockstar’s, we are currently in a “battle” with class 3. As everyone in class 4 knows, Mr. Trott hates losing so I would love for the children to be really pushing their TT knowledge this week! I would also like the children to do some research regarding the “Bronze Age” I would like the children to find out what advancements in technology happened between the Bronze age and the Iron age, this needs to be done before Thursday next week.

I will be posting on Twitter every week showing what we have been up to and what peoples work looks like so feel free to have a look.

Many Thanks and have a lovely weekend!

Mr. Trott

Class 4 have really put the effort in this week and it is clear to see! Their English work is blowing me away and were only on the 7th lesson of it! We achieved a reading percentage of 91% and an attendance of 94% so another good week for us.

Parents Evening Meetings
I am looking forward to meeting everyone next week for parents evening. I am sure the children are super excited. If you are unsure of your time or would like to try to re-arrange you can e-mail me at any point and I will try my best to sort it.

Homework

I have sent a “White rose” sheet home with the children. This is some of the things we have been covering in math this week. This has already been done so the children should be able to do this. This is due in next Wednesday. If the children would like to do a setting description of their favourtie place they can but this isn’t homework, this is just to help their writing.

I have received some photos of the children reading our book which look amazing but if you are still yet to send a picture my e-mail is trotta@brandesburton.eriding.net.

Class 4 have had another fantastic week ( it’s becoming a regular occurrence ). After a 96% reading score I can happily say class 4 have achieved 100%, this is a fantastic achievement and they have made Mr. Trott extremely happy!

We have now finished our English topic of instructions, these were fantastic and it was very clear to see that the children understood how to write a set of instructions. We have also finished our “place value” topic in math’s. The end of unit assessments reflected just how hard the children have been working on this topic and I am very happy with the results.

Spelling for this week are: ( spellings have not been amazing this week so there is a push on them this week )

Adorable

Considerable

Homework

The homework for this week links to our English topic. I would like the children to use the 5 senses to describe 3 of setting of their own choice. These have to be real places that the children have either visited or know. This will be due in Tuesday.

I have received some photos of the children reading our book which look amazing but if you are still yet to send a picture my e-mail is trotta@brandesburton.eriding.net.

Mr. Trott

Class 4 have had another amazing week after a disappointing reading score of 72% we have just achieved 96%! To carry on with the good news we have also achieved 100% attendance this week and every single child completed the homework with flying colours.

Class 4 have been hard at work this week with a lot of writing being done so I am going to give them a little break with the homework this week. We have started writing our final set of instructions for out stone age English theme and they are looking fantastic ( pictures to follow when done )

The spelling for next week are:

Accompany
Amateur
Bargain
Bruise
Community
Competition
Explanation
Guarantee
Individual
Prejudice

Homework
The children are taking the “wild way home” book home with them this weekend. Their homework is to read the next chapter of the book ( they can recap the first few chapters if they want). There will be a quiz the following week to test the children’s knowledge of the book. There will also be a quick recap regarding our recent math’s topic, rounding numbers to the nearest 10,100,1000 and 10,000. This has been a really hard subject so below there is a few questions to try out.

These questions can be made longer by asking to round to the nearest 10 and 100.

Mr. Trott

The children have been amazing this week and can not sing their praises enough! so well done year 5! We achieved a reading score of 92% which is amazing and hopefully we beat it this week!

I would just like to say a huge well done to year 5 as I received every piece of homework back before the deadline last week and the standard of work was incredibly good!

The spellings for the children next week are:

Redecorate
Mention
Position
Weather
Whether
obvious
Completion
Mountainous
Tongue
Scheme

Homework

This week there are two pieces of homework. This homework is to finish the set of instructions about “how to wash a wooly mammoth”. This should be no longer than 12 steps and should be no less than 10, this should be back in school for Monday as we will be writing this up in neat. Class 4 have had this work for 2 days so there shouldn’t be much left to finish. I have also given a math sheet for the children to have a go at, this can be in at any point next week.

Our class reading book “The Wild Way Home” has amazed class 4 so far and we cant wait to read more! I thought it would look nice for our display board if we could get a photo of the children “reading” it somewhere different over the weekend so if you would like to do that and send it over to my e-mail trotta@brandesburton.eriding.net that would be amazing.

I will be posting on Twitter every week showing what we have been up to and what peoples work looks like so feel free to have a look.

Many thanks,

Mr. Trott

I hope you have all had a great summer and are ready for year 5! The children have already started with their work and are amazing me already. We will be making sure lots of what we are doing in year 5 will be on our class blog which you can find below.

Homework will also be available to see on our class blog for the children to revisit.

Our Topics

This half term our two topics are “stone age to iron age” in history and Change in materials in science. If you have anything that would relate to these topics please feel free to bring them into school and I promise class 4 will look after them!

Home school record books

As your child has been in ks2 before you will be familiar with our record books. These books are for recording spellings, times tables, reading, homework and anything else they will need to know. I will check the children’s record books every Friday so if there are any messages wrote in their I will be able to read and reply to them on Fridays.

Reading

As usual, reading is a very high priority in Mr. Trott’s class. Please record daily in your child’s log when they have completed a read at home. I will check these books every Friday and expect at least 3 entries per week but I am really pushing for 4. Completed reading books can be changed at any point during the week if the book is brought in.

P.E

As we did last year please can the children come to school in their PE kit on the days they have P.E. Class 4 will need to come in their P.E kit on Mondays and Wednesdays. PE kit should be a white t-shirt, dark coloured shorts/tracksuit bottoms or leggings, a school jumper or cardigan and trainers. As we will be outside please also send your child with a clean pair on indoor shoe to change into after.

Homework

For year 5 there will be homework set most weeks. The homework will be written in children’s reading log or will be on our Class 4 blog. This will be stated in the reading logs/blog when the homework is expected to be back in school.

Spellings

As a school we promote the purple mash spelling program. Your child will be given spellings every Monday. We will then do a spelling test on the Friday for the children to complete. You will be able to access the children’s spellings via purple mash.

Year 5 as a whole

During the course of year 5 I will ensure every child has the most fun possible whilst ensuring they are getting the best out of themselves. Year 5 is a year for developing and growing which Class 4 are already doing! This is going to be a super year and I’m extremely excited to have this group.

Thank you for reading all of this I know it was a lot!

If you have any questions or queries please do not hesitate to contact me on the email below.

Yours Sincerely
Mr. Trott

We have all been working so hard and having fun that the end of the school year has crept up on us. We have been so busy finishing The Invention of Hugo Cabret, working on our final Maths units, completing our newspaper reports and our work on the history of the railways. The Year 5s also had great fun at the Hornsea Sports Festival and we all enjoyed our class treat of watching Hugo the film!

Thank you so much for being such an amazing class – I have loved the opportunity to teach you all again and will be watching closely to all the work you do with Mr Barnes and Mr Trott! You can do it – just remember I believe in you!!

Finally, in true Mrs Altoft style, it comes down to two words….RIGHT GUYS….Have a super summer holidays!!!

See you in September!

This week, we have been using the book the Iron Man as the inspiration for our newspaper reports. We only read the first chapter and then we got busy making Live Action News Reports! We worked hard on establishing the 5Ws (who, what, when, where, why) and then wrote some fab eye witness reports from bird watchers, dog walkers, fishermen and even whale watchers. On Friday we are going to record our reports! Hopefully we will be able to share some of them on the blog next week.

Watch a video of the start of the book here… https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/z9ftb9q

Homework

After Arts Week, we will explore some more of the story. So that we don’t forget the events, please read Chapter 1 and 2 (saved on seesaw) before the 26th June. If you want an extra challenge, can you write the 5Ws for the second chapter?
