Autumn 1, Week 2: 9-13th September

Weekly Review 

It has been a fantastic start to Year 5. We have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the children and seeing them produce their first pieces of work. They have shown huge amounts of determination, kindness and creativity in the first full week!

English: In English this week we have started our first year 5 class text, Holes, and learnt all about Stanley and the other inmates at Camp Green Lake. We have delved into the book and looked at uplevelling our writing through the use of amazing adjectives in our expanded noun phrases, the six relative pronouns in our relative clauses and super subordinating conjunctions in our complex sentences.

Maths: In Maths this week we have started working on tenths. We have looked at the different ways a tenth can be represented, this has included in its fraction form and as a decimal. We have implemented a new starter to Maths lessons which involves revisiting various concepts from previous years such as time, addition and fractions. They play a key role in developing their recall from Years 3 and 4.  

PSHE (PATHs): This week, we have started teaching our new PSHE scheme called PATHs. The focus this week has been on identifying comfortable and uncomfortable emotions as well as introducing the concept of ‘Pupil of the day’. If you would like to find out more about PATHs please see here: https://www.pathseducation.co.uk/what-is-paths/paths-curriculum 

Key Vocabulary: 

relative pronoun, relative clause, subordinating conjunction, subordinating clause, tenths,

P.S. If you have any unwanted, highly motivating or visually appealing toys/objects that are no longer needed/wanted at home (this could be anything from items that move/flash/spin or make any noise), we would really appreciate them to be offered to the HIVE.
