Class 13 News
Miss Barrett 9 Jan 20

This afternoon, Class 13 enjoyed using split pins and elastic bands (representing Earth's gravitational pull) to show that wherever we are on Earth, we won't fall off!


Mrs OFarrell 9 Jan 20

In RE, Year 5 have been exploring the concept of unity. We worked as part of a team to build the strongest bridge we could, which inspired us to create our own definitions of what unity means to us.

Amazing Christmas cards, year 5! We love your individual watercolour designs.

Class 13 had a fun-filled morning of learning and exercise at Brunton Park. They played some very fast paced invasion games, had a tour of the stadium and a PSHE lesson about inclusion. Thank you to the Carlisle United coaches!

Class 13 enjoyed investigating which type of sugar dissolves fastest. They worked scientifically by controlling variables and using good observation skills to draw a conclusion. Great teamwork everyone!

    Spellings
    Children will be given spelling and Maths homework on Fridays. Homework books should be returned to school by Thursday, ready for learning to be checked on Friday.

    Reading
    Children are also expected to read regularly at home. Please continue to support your child's progress in reading by hearing them read as much as possible and asking questions about what they have read. Reading to your child also continues to be important in year 5 as it can play a huge role in developing understanding and building on vocabulary by enabling children to access more sophisticated texts.

    Maths

    The children continue to have access to Timestable Rockstars and it's great to see their enthusiasm for this has carried on into the Spring term. We are aiming for instant recall of all times tables up to 12, as well as knowledge of division facts.

    'Hit the Button' is another useful online game to help children learn their times tables. Please see the link below.

    Topic
    You can find extra homework activity ideas in the grid in their homework book.
