Dear Year 5 ,

We hope that you are enjoying the new term and settling back into school life. Below is a summary of this week's learning and suggested activities if you are unable to attend school this week.

    In Maths, we are continuing to learn about place value, with a focus on negative numbers and Roman numerals. We will then be moving on to begin a new unit on 4 digit addition.

The following links cover negative numbers and 4 digit addition:

The children will be tasked with writing a letter of advice to their misbehaving son.The following website has advice on how to structure a letter:  https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z2gq4xs

    In RE we are continuing our Sikhism topic and exploring the question, 'What does it mean to be equal?' with a focus also on Sikh festivals. The following link on 'Vaisakhi' will help build on the children's current understanding: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zsjpyrd/articles/z6qqy9q
