Thank you for a fantastic year, Year Five
We want to thank you for a fantastic year. We have absolutely loved getting to know you all and teaching you this year, even though it's been a very surreal time. As an end of year gift we have adopted 'Huggy' the Lar Gibbon, from Dudley Zoo, on your behalf.
We can't give you a real hug at this time, so felt this was the next best thing. If you happen to go and visit Dudley Zoo, you will see 'Year 5, 5C and 5S 2019-2020- Newfield Park Primary School' outside his enclosure.
Please see below for further details about 'Huggy':
So for the final time, please see your work below for the last week of this academic year. We have been blown away by the work you have produced and your positive attitudes. We love and miss you all. Stay safe. stay happy and stay strong. We look forward to seeing you in September, as Year Sixes! 
Mr. Cochrane and Mrs. Saunders
p.s. We'll be announcing the winners of the baby competition, next week, so don't forget to send your entries to newfieldy5@newfield.dudley.sch.uk

Our class text at the moment is 'George's Secret Key to the Universe' by Lucy and Stephen Hawking. In the story, we have just read that Eric, Annie's father, saved the children from Outer Space and has told the children they are not allowed to play together any more.
For your task today, imagine you are the author and can write what happens next in the story.
What will happen? Who will be involved? Where will the events take place? Have fun and be as creative as you like!

For our English task yesterday we wrote the next part of the story from our class text, 'George's Secret Key to the Universe.'
Today we are going to look at editing and redrafting a small section/a few sentences from our work to make them as detailed and interesting as possible.
If you can, try to use a purple pen/crayon/felt just like we would if we were in class!
E.G.
George and Annie stared out into Space.
With their eyes wide and their mouths open, George and Annie stared out into the vast and unknown space all around them.
Remember all of the things we can focus on when we edit our work such as:
- Spellings
- Correct punctuation
- Adding adjectives
- Expanded noun phrases
- Fronted adverbials
- Using all of the senses (show not tell)
And many other ways that we have discussed in class. Enjoy!

Even though a lot of you are away from school at the moment, it doesn't mean that you have to take a break from learning, exploring and having fun!
As well as the many exciting things we are sure you will already be doing at home, we will also be trying to regularly update our class page with new and interesting activities and ideas of things to try.
There are two documents below already with a range of tasks and links to access and engage with at your own pace, but if you need a little more guidance and structure then we will also be giving you daily pointers on things to try!

Curriculum Support Activities
Welcome to Year 5!
Your teachers this year will be Mrs Saunders and Mr Cochrane! 
Could all children ensure they have the correct PE kit in school each week, ready for our timetabled lessons on Mondays and Fridays as well as any other opportunities to be active during the school week.
Geography
This half term, Year 5 will switch from their History studies to having a Geography focus. This will be based around London as a globally significant city. During this focus the children will cover the physical as well as human geographical elements of the city. We will also study different types of maps that can be used for a location as well as many other skills and knowledge opportunities.
Homework
This year homework will be handed out on a Friday and expected to be completed then handed in by the Wednesday of the following week.
Homework will consist of an English based task, a Maths task as well as spellings.
Spellings will be tested each Friday.
Housepoints will be awarded for completed homework and the children will have the opportunity to display some examples around the classroom.
Reading
As well as homework, the children will also be expected to take responsibility to change their reading books on a regular basis using the school library.
To encourage the children to read regularly at home, we would appreciate it if adults could record, in Reading Records, each time the child has read.
