The Summer 1 parent overview has been uploaded under the file section of the class page. Please take a look so you can see what year 5 will be learning about this half term and support your child by discussing their learning.

Today, we were really lucky to have a session with Tom from the Happy Puzzle Company as a reward for all our hard work in maths.
The focus was on teamwork and year 5 really did do us proud! They worked beautifully together, making sure that everyone had a chance to take part. Some of the puzzles were a little tricky to complete but their perserverance and determination paid off. We played genius star where we had to fit blocks into the spaces on a star shape around some blockers. Then we had a go at matching patterns using some coloured star blocks or a train with shapes to arrange accurately. Finally, the children had to follow some clues to identify where the 'treasure' was hidden on a map of smart town using coordinates.

Thank you!

This week, year 5 have been learning about written methods of multiplication and division.
They found the division in particular really tricky. Their homework this week should support them in being able to practise the skill at home. However, they may need some support from adults or older children. Please feel free to talk them through each question. There is no expectation that children complete the homework entirely on their own.
BBC bitesize has an excellent explanation and some practise questions to try. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/znmtsbk/articles/zqpddp3?scrlybrkr=79556a3a
Keep trying year 5!

On Friday, we will be taking part in our harvest festival celebration assembly by performing the vegetable rap to the rest of key stage 2. If you would like to practise at home, these are the lyrics. Thanks for having a go!
Cauliflowers fluffy and cabbages green
Carrots are sweet once they are clean
Pile them on my plate, now don’t be mean
I’m a 5-a-day, get out and play, veg-eating machine!
Chocolate bars you can’t sell to me
I spend my money on celery
Guarantee there’s no stopping me
When the plate I see has some broccoli
You think you’re tough? You think you’re hard?
You need to grow veggies out in your yard.
Dig them up muddy but fresh and sweet,
The tasty, no-wastey, treat to eat.
One potato, two potato, three potato, four
We’ll clap in the air and tap on the floor
Just give ‘em a clean underneath the tap,
Turn around, touch the ground, our vegetable rap.
Fruit and Veg, let me hear you shout
I’m goin’ crazy for a Brussel Sprout.
Blackb’rries are juicy and rhubarb is sour
We’re getting healthier hour by hour
Double double toil and trouble
Heat ‘em up and make ‘em bubble
Five a day goodness for me and for you
We love fruit and vegetables too
True!
Yeah!
Potato!

This week we have been focusing on writing our free-verse poems on bullfighting. Our reading sessions have been fantastic! We have been looking at figurative language and have made lots of connections between other texts that we have read such as the myths of ancient Greece.
When it came to writing, we have had fun creating a class poem as well everybody writing their own. We have experimented with writing from different perspectives and some of us are challenging ourselve from writing from the point of view of the matador.
When these are finished, they will be increíble!

Good afternoon, 5CB. Can you believe that we have finally reached the end of our journey? And what a strange way to end it. I am so proud to have been your teacher this year - I have loved every second of it (even when you gave me a headache!)
I was so happy to speak to you all on the phone this week. There were only a couple of you I couldn't reach, so here is a little reminder of what was said:
When we go back to school in September, you will spend the first two days with myself and Mrs Turner, in our 5CB classroom. We will be able to do some fun games and activities together. Then you will move into Year 6, where your new Teacher will be Miss Thornton and your new Teaching Assistant will be Miss Taylor. Miss Thornton has emailed your grown up a leaflet, with some exciting Summer activities inside.
I'm moving year groups too this year, and will be teaching Year 4! I'm nervous and excited, just like I imagine all of you are.
Here are this week's outstanding learners:
Tia
Shero
Mujeeb
Ivory
Zain
Akin
William
Lilly C
Auryn
Dylan
Victoria
Delayno
Oceane
Lexie
Lily L
Jackson
Andrew
Jediah
Riley
Zana
Paige
Jessica
Ibrahim
Denico
Angelica
Isabelle
Sam
Jennifer
Imole
... Yes you've guessed, each of you are outstanding learners!
Instead of posting your work this week, I have created something for you. Since we couldn't get a class photo this year, I've made one for us!
(I apologise if I got your eye colour wrong, all I had to go off was my memory and your photograph from our door!)
I hope you like it!
Enjoy your Summer!
Miss Brookes

Ganesa (with her new words: conscience, nuisance and puncture)
Victoria (with her new phrase 'rapid eye movement' (REM), she then shared that we have different stages of sleep - light sleep, deep sleep and REM).
Well done you two!
A huge well done to everyone that managed to access reading plus this week:
Ganesa
Alissia
Rhianna
Aden

Well done to Ganesa and Victoria for completing today's 'famous person challenge.' The answer was: William Shakespeare, who was born in April 1564. They shared that he is a famous English playwright, poet and actor. They also shared that he was regarded as the greatest writer in the English language, and that he was the world's greatest dramatist!

You have all worked so incredibly hard this year! We are so proud of the progress you have made, and your determination.
Don't forget to ask your grown up to check their email, where they will find a 'transition booklet' from Year 6. It has some Summer activities in that you can do.
Enjoy the break, and we look forward to seeing you all in September.
Miss Brookes and Mrs Hodges.

We have finally made it to the end of the school year. What a strange way to end it. I find it hard to believe that we have been off school since the 20th March (with some of you staying in school and working super hard!). It feels like yesterday, when we were creating our Greek Landscapes.
We are so excited to get to teach you in those first two days of term - it wouldn't feel right, not spending some time with you before you enter year 6! We both loved speaking to you all on the phone this week - it brightened our days.
Well done to Ganesa and Victoria for completing yesterday's famous person challenge. The person was Marie Curie, and she was born on the 7th November 1876. She is famous because she was the first person to win a noble prize in both physics and chemistry. A fun fact they shared is that she was a World War 1 hero!
I will post the answers for today's famous person, when I post the reading challenge results. Here is today's picture:
Don't forget to email your answer, and all of your learning, to y5homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk
Remember to check your class blog this afternoon, where we will celebrate some of your outstanding learning.
Enjoy your Friday,
Miss Brookes and Mrs Hodges.

Well done to Ganesa, Jediah and Victoria for completing yesterday's famous person challenge. The person was Horatio Nelson. He was born on the 29th September 1758 (that's the day after Merlin's - my dog's - birthday!). He is well known for fighting in battles such as the Nile. An interesting fact that you shared, is that during his life he lost both his eye and his arm!
Today's famous person is a tricky one, so here is a clue - she is associated with science:
