Year 5 Update Week 3

THURSDAY 5TH SEPTEMBER- YEAR 5 TO WEAR PE KIT TO SCHOOL

 

Central Idea

Self-exploration leads to a greater capability to enhance well-being

Lines of Inquiry

  • The importance of self exploration and a range of appropriate strategies to achieve this (form)
  • Strategies for making informed choices (responsibility)
  • Through deeper reflection, the causes and consequences that can affect their well-being (change)

We will continue to explore our strengths as part of our self exploration journey as well as begin to talk about areas that we would like to make improvements in. Year 5 will get the opportunity to take part in some activities next week which have been created to enhance their well being and allow them the opportunity to try something new.

  • Mathletics – continue with the set tasks
  • Spelling – each week the children are sent home their 10 personal words that they need to learn for the week.  Please, can a parent (or responsible adult) support the children by...testing them (written or oral), getting them to put their words into interesting sentences (written or oral), discussing the meanings of the words, thinking about synonyms and antonyms of that word, discussing words with a similar meaning etc. 
  • Reading – levelled home readers will be starting to come home soon.  The children will be choosing levelled readers based on their own ability and are expected to read each night for at least 20mins at home with a parent.  The children need to record their reading in their Reading Journals and parents can you please sign your child’s journal each night.  Journals need to be returned to school each morning to be checked and will come home each evening (except Friday).  Children may use Big Universe twice a week (only) as their choice of home reading.
