Here is our wordle from our zoom session this morning. For our last session next week please have a think about something that you are looking forward to in Year 6 and anything you are apprehensive about.
Hello everyone,
We hope you have all had a good week. Well done to those children who have completed the MyMaths activity. There are still quite a few of you who have not done it yet - there is still a little bit of time! Please find time to complete the activity - it is highlighted in yellow.
This week Mrs Berger is going to explain to you how to use a protractor. Don't forget to prepare the 2 items for our zoom call on Monday - 1) a word to describe what lockdown has meant to you. 2) a photo/explanation of a skill/talent you have learnt during the past few months.
We hope you have a fantastic weekend and we are looking forward to seeing more great work from you next week.
Hi everyone,
We hope you have had a good week - bit of a wet one with all this rain!! Hoping you still managed to get out for some fresh air.
Next week, we have 2 videos for you to watch - one of Mrs Berger explaining arithmagons and another of Mrs Goldsmith explaining angles. We hope you find these useful !
It has been lovely to catch up with you on the phone this week too and hear about some of the other things you have been doing besides work. Keep us posted on your home projects.
We hope you all have had an enjoyable week filled with a good balance of work and play. Have you been on lots of walks or bike rides? We have been very busy with our families baking, walking, cooking, playing and working too. Thank you to those of you who have sent in work - please keep it coming! We are incredibly impressed with the effort you are putting in and it is great to see such hard work from you all in such tricky times.
We understand that being at home for this long is hard, try to keep motivated if you can. Hopefully we will all get to be together again soon.
We hope you all had a lovely half term, enjoying the sunshine and spending time with your family.
From this week, please send in the 3 items highlighted in yellow to our class email address during the week for marking and feedback. Please note response times for emails will be up to 48 hours. Thank you for your continued support.
An animated short film about 12 invented planets - you may want to watch for inspiration before writing your planet description.
Example of planet setting description:
This planet was a maze of thick, spiralling branches. Golden yellow leaves dangled down from them and flickered like candle flames in breeze. Sweet scented pollen drifted through the archways created by the curving branches. Beneath, on the carpet of red dust grew strange, exotic, unfamiliar plants, which glowed bright neon colours. The creatures that lurked in this tangled forest, spun on a single point like a child's spinning top. Their surface was silver-white and rippled like a liquid, but kept it's shape like a solid. They emitted the most beautiful and enchanting music as they spun.
Please hold on to any cardboard recycling items for the project week after next (wb 18.05.20). Items could include empty cereal boxes, amazon boxes, shoe boxes, etc.

Dear Parents,
A reminder please to ensure the 4 pieces of work for each week (highlighted in yellow) are sent in throughout the week so we can provide timely feedback. No work is to be sent in after 3pm on a Friday as feedback is only able to be given during school working hours. Please avoid sending in work this week from last week as we would like to be able to give our full attention to this week's work. Thank you for your understanding and support.
Please hold on to any recycling items for the project next week (wb 27.04.20). Items could include empty cereal boxes, yoghurt pots, fruit tubs, small plastic bottles, cardboard - anything that can be cut with scissors is good.

To all the children and parents of Year 5,
We have thoroughly enjoyed hearing from you all over the last few weeks. We hope you get a chance to rest, have fun and spend time with your families where possible. Have a lovely Pesach and we look forward to communicating with you again after the holidays!
At the moment, everybody has a little extra time on their hands (get it?) Why not learn how to touch type? Click on the link below and follow the levels to learn how to do this with confidence. Take your time and remember to take regular breaks. Happy typing!
We hope you have had a good weekend. We will now be communicating with you on here for a while... Remember, you can send us an email anytime and we will get back to you during school hours :-) year5@cloreshalom.herts.sch.uk. Please remember that any one of us will reply to your email so don't write to one of us in particular :-)
Let us know what you have been up to, are you making any videos? Cooking delicious meals? Creating masterpieces of art or online games on purple mash...? We want to hear from you.
We are having a few technical issues with the grid and resources which we hope will be emailed to you some time tomorrow...please bare with us! We will also upload it to the blog.
In the meantime, check out the video below of Mrs Woolstone reading some more of 'Holes' so you can sit back, relax, and listen to our class book.
We miss you lots!

chromatography in science
Crime scene investigation using chromatography - who stole the painting - ask the children how they worked it out,
This week we have been learning different strategies that can help us with mental subtraction and addition.
We have been learning some techniques which will help us to solve tricky questions in Maths. We have looked at doubling and halving to help solve tricky multiplication questions and learning the rules of divisibility so that we can quickly identify which numbers can be divided.
In English this week, we have been learning about recount writing. We have given the children wide experiences of different recounts to familiarise themselves with what is expected when they write their own next week.
During computing, we have been developing our spread sheet skills using the 'how many' tool to calculate the number of vowels in words.

Today we learned how to round large numbers. Amber explained this beautifully to the class.
We have had a great start to year five and would like to thank all the parents for the individual copies of the BFG which has made guiding reading much more accessible and the children are able to engage in the text much more. We are looking forward to seeing you at the curriculum evening tomorrow night (Tuesday 10th September). In maths we have been looking at place value of numbers up to 1,000,000 and the children have been using the manipulatives to help them to achieve this. In PSHE the children began looking into knowing some of the things that help them in school to learn and play well together. Today we began our science topic on materials with an experiment all about dissolving. Please see pictures below.
