This week in class we have been asking.... Can we write narrative stories set in another culture?  How did the Romans use soldiers, forts and walls effectively?  Can we find fractions of quantities?  How do life cycles work?  Who was Buddha? Can we program our crumbles to light up and flash in different colours?

Our ‘Flashback 4’ questions were….

1.Today: When did the Romans conquer Britain?

2.This/last week: What's the difference between oviparous and viviparous?

3.This term: Why do we have different diets?

4.Last term: What did William Wilberforce do?

Next week we will be asking... How do we write formal letters of application?  Can we convert between fractions and decimals?  Can we use algorithms to control outputs?  What are the four noble truths?  Who were the leaders in Roman Britain?  How do life cycles work?

Year 5 are now having their PE sessions on a Monday and Thursday. The Thursday session will be with the Active Communities Team, under the East Riding Council. While the students are taking part in their sessions, they have asked for permission to take photos and videos of the children so they can use them in future reports and presentations. There is a ‘consent’ item on the Arbor app. If you could kindly accept or decline. Thank you.

Our spelling rule next week will be the sound 'j' and will include the words: prejudice, exaggerate, genesis, generate, genetic, privilege, vegetable, budget, advantage, exchange, logic, rigid.

Our Graduate Award that we are working towards is: DT (Cooking and nutrition) Year 5 Graduate Awards - Keyingham Primary

REMEMBER: PE is every Monday and Thursday
