What a fantastic week we’ve had in Year 5! I’m so proud of you all for working so hard.
A big “well done” to Matthew Mooney for being our Star of the Week!
Next week, we will be busy practising multiplication in Maths, completing our non-chronological report in Big Write and, of course, getting ready for our class assembly on Friday!
Have a well deserved rest this weekend.
Mrs Heston
Excellent 100 word challenges last week everyone! It was good to see a range of fiction and non-fiction in your blogging! I’m sure lots of you found it much trickier than you though, to write exactly 100 words!
Your new challenge is to describe Father Christmas in 50 words. Easy right? Wrong! To make it extra challenging, you cannot use the letter ‘R’! (Imagine that the R key on your keyboard is broken).
Well done to this week’s winner is McCauley. I really enjoyed reading about all of the mischievous antics your elf had gotten up to over the weekend!
Mr Lyons
Now that 2015 is coming to a close, lots of people take time to think about the year that’s passed and what they want to achieve in the year ahead. I want to know what your biggest achievement was this year, or what your biggest highlights of the year were. I also want to know 3 things you want to experience or achieve in 2016!
For example:
My highlight of 2015 was becoming a teacher at Woodfield and finding out I would have the same class in Year 5 that I had in Year 4!
3 things I want to achieve in 2016 are:
1. See Wigan Warriors win the Grand Final
2. Become a better swimmer
3. Have lots more fun at Woodfield
I’d love to know what your aspirations are!
Mr Lyons
Fantastic homework last week everyone! For this week’s challenge, your writing MUST be 100 words, no more or no less. You can write about anything you like, in any genre you like, but it has to be 100 words long! Try to use as many writing features as you can.
Well done to Harris for winning this week’s writer or the week award, his idea will go to our Angry Words display too!
Mr Lyons
Fantastic homework last week everyone! Some of your diary entries were very imaginative and even caught the attention of Mrs Lowe, who was very impressed with our use of subordinate clauses!
This weekend’s challenge is a little different. We need to add a new angry word to our Angry Words display. Your challenge is to think of a word that is really boring, which we can’t use in our writing, and think of as many amazing synonyms of that word as possible. The winning entry will have their Angry Word added to the display and the Angry Word mats!
Remember that these are the current Angry Words:
Said, big, small, walked, sad, happy, nice, then, went, looked
Congratulations to Ethan, whose diary entry about the gremlin blew me away! He’s this week’s winner of the writer of the week trophy.
Mr Lyons
Well done everyone for your homework about the picture last week, they were fantastic! I really enjoyed reading them.
Your homework for this weekend is to imagine you have gone home after school on Friday, and you have been told you have to look after the furry gremlin in the picture above for the weekend. I want you to write a diary entry about all of the things you get up to over the weekend. Will he be a good or bad gremlin? Will you do anything special?
Try to make your writing as interesting as possible and your challenge this time is to use at least:
- 1 subordinate clause
- 5 different time adverbials (time connectives)
- An emotion sentence
Good luck! Well done to Jessica for winning the Writer of the Week trophy for last week!
