Last week as part of our theme learning ‘How can we celebrate our wonderful world?’ the children explored the festival of Eid. They watched a cbeebies documentary, explored the text ”The runaway Chappatti’ and then began to make their own. Every child made their own chappati with our special guest sonia. She made delicious daal for us to try with our chappati and left more for us to make in the afternoon. Thank you Sonia! Please come back soon !

This week we have been looking at how to use the internet safely. Also, we have had some more brilliant homework – Luella has done 8 pages on her times tables!!! We have also counted up to find our house point winners.

Year 5 have been working really hard this week, finding percentages of amounts.

I have set a little challenge to see who really understands it. a Whopping 50 house points for anybody that completes 🙂 good luck!

 

Find the following percentages of amounts.

 

10 % of 170=

25% of 200=

35% of 500=

12% of 240=

15% of 300=

 

Challenge.

Use what you know about finding percentages of amounts to solve the problems.

Challenge 1:

200 children went on holiday.

10% of the children went to Wales.

25% of the children went to Scotland.

How many more children went to Scotland than went to Wales?

Challenge 2:

Jack has £400

He spends 35% of his money on a new bike.

How much does Jack spend on his new bike?

Class 5 have been having a go at coaching each other today in maths. The children worked in pairs to coach a friend to help them use a number line to complete their maths sums. Everyone worked really well together and made great choices about who they worked with.

 

Well done class 5

Today  in phonics we have been looking at the ‘ur’ sound and finding it in words. My group are getting really good at blending  after they have sounded out. Keep it up everyone.

Thank you

Miss Hilton
