Please find the homework for this week.
Keep practising telling the time and have a lovely weekend!

This week in 5D, we have begun our recount writing learning journey, following our trip to the Warner Brothers Studio Tour (photos coming soon!).
As a class, we created a detailed list of criteria required for each of the three components of a recount: introduction, main body and conclusion; and paired these criteria with successful examples from some supplementary literature.
This week for home learning, we would like to you to collect different types of recounts to bring to school. Throughout the week, beginning on Monday, we will be comparing these recount types to our recount features criteria and selecting successful examples to add to our supplementary literature bank. These will be very helpful to us, when we are writing.
Types of recounts to look for:
- a write-up of a trip or activity
- an account of something that happened in history
- a newspaper article about something that happened
- a letter to tell someone about an event
- a diary or a blog
- an encyclopedia entry
- a biography or autobiography
- an account of a science experiment
We would like recount types to start arriving in school on Monday but are happy for them to continue arriving until Wednesday. It is important that everyone brings at least one as we will be using them all week. Please try to be creative with the examples that you bring to school. We would like to have a broad and varied sample of supplementary literature.
Please also remember that daily reading and using Mathletics at least three times a week is an expectation of year 5.
Enjoy your weekend.

Here is the Year 3 and 4 spelling list from the National Curriculum in case anyone wants to continue practicing spellings at home over half term.
There are also the First 100 High Frequency word lists and the Next 200 High Frequency word lists, which could be useful to practice –
This week, Year 4 have started helping out in the school Office. Two Year 4 children have gone down each day to spend the day working at the front desk. The 10 children that have gone down this week have really enjoyed their days at the office and have developed skills in responsibility, communication and reciprocity. During their days, they have been welcoming visitors to school with a gotcha smile, doing photocopying and shredding jobs and walking younger children around the school to and from their classrooms.
This will continue every day until the end of the year so we have lots more opportunities for lots more children in Year 4 to have this experience.
On Tuesday 16th May, we are going to the Warner Brothers Studio tour! Hooray!
Please arrive to school at normal time, in uniform and with a packed lunch (named).
During the trip, we’ll be learning about how the film makers created the ‘magic’ that we see on screen. We would like you to do some self study into mechanisms and moving parts. The aim is for you to familiarise yourself with these, how they work, how they are assembled and key words. You will be spotting as many of these mechanisms as possible during the day of the trip and will also connect this to making your own miniature moving models as part of your project outcome.

Well done to all the children in F2C last week for 100% full attendance! We finally did it! Let’s hope we do the same next week.
We had lots of fun learning about addition outdoors this week, writing our number sentences in chalk on the ground.
