Year 5 - The first month

Numeracy
In Mrs Cunningham’s group we have been learning;
 Our 0, 1, 2 and 3 times tables,
Adding and subtracting numbers with 2 decimal places by using written methods and imagining decimals are money £.
Rounding 4 digit numbers to the nearest 10, 100, 1000.
We’ve been counting in 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and in decimal points.
And also we have had some mental maths tests.

In Mr Ball’s group we have been learning how to improve our mental maths skills including our times tables. Also, we have been practising counting in steps of different sizes. We have been developing written methods for adding and subtracting money.

We have been learning about cricket in PE.  We have been developing skills such as; throwing, catching, coaching and batting skills.
We have created our own games to practise our batting skills. We have been taught diamond cricket and French cricket.  Over the first term we have really, really, enjoyed playing cricket in PE on Tuesdays and Fridays. It is the best subject in the whole wide world ever!

Topic
 In our topic session we have been learning about Lincolnshire.
Maps: we have been learning about where we live and making maps from school to our house. Also we had to label trees, other houses, shops and other places on the key. We have really enjoyed learning it.
Facts about Skegness: Last week we have been learning all about Skegness. We have been researching facts like; what date did the first train come and when the first hotel was built. One of the questions we had is, “What happened to Skegness in 1526?” Our answer was the sea broke through the headland and the town crumbled into the sea.

In R.E. we have been learning about Sikhs. The five Ks are:
Kesh (uncut hair)

Kanga (a wooden comb)
Kaccha - also spelt, Kachh, Kachera (cotton underwear)
Kirpan (steel sword)

The Gurdwara is the Sikh place of worship. The Sikh’s holy book is called the Guru Granth Sahib. It is kept in the main prayer hall. It rests on cushions and is covered in beautiful cloths. The khanda is the Sikh’s religious symbol.

Music
So far we have learnt three songs and they were fun. We also have done a scale with Mrs Cunningham. We have only done music once but we are going to do more next week, hopefully. The best singer there was Mrs Cunningham. We also learnt notes like E, G, B and A. Mrs Cunningham split us up in three groups one group did the beat, the other did the start and the third group did the second bit and they clashed together. The beat group carried on. Then somebody sang it by themselves.
