		<description><![CDATA[In&nbsp;Maths&nbsp;we have worked very hard on our long multiplication and the children seem much more confident with this method.&nbsp; We are now going to be moving onto formal division and introducing the concept of remainders.

In&nbsp;English&nbsp;we have written our Howlers, you can see some photographs of these below.&nbsp; They look fantastic. We are now going to be writing our final piece of work for this half term - a missing Chapter from Harry Potter.&nbsp; Hopefully we can show off all the Key Skills we have covered so far in Year 5.&nbsp;

In&nbsp;Computing, we have been enjoying tinkering around with Scratch and learning how to code using this platform.&nbsp; We have been focusing on adding Music to programs we have written.

Our&nbsp;Music&nbsp;lessons have been focusing on understanding how an orchestra works and looking at the different families of instruments.&nbsp; We have revised how different instruments produce sound and have been learning about the role of the composer, particularly in relation to the famous Harry Potter theme song.&nbsp; 5BW are still enjoying their Ukulele lessons - there is only one more this half term!&nbsp; We have learnt how to play some chords and play along to songs.&nbsp; &nbsp;The other Year 5 classes are looking forward to their Ukulele lessons in Spring and Summer term.

Friday this week is our Harry Potter theme day - we are all very excited to dress up and make some exciting potions.&nbsp; There might also be a special visitor...

Monday 21st November

In&nbsp;Maths&nbsp;we having moved onto learning how to complete formal multiplication (2 or 3 digits by 2 digits).&nbsp; This is a new process for Year 5 and we are having to concentrate hard in our lessons to remember the method!&nbsp; Don&#39;t forget to check the Parent Information Pack for examples of this method to help your children at home.

In&nbsp;English&nbsp;we have learnt about the present perfect form of verbs and we are revising tenses.&nbsp; We have also looked at adverbials (which can tell us something about the time, reason, manner or place).&nbsp; We will soon be reading different letters inspired by Harry Potter characters and then we will be writing our own.

Following the&nbsp;DT&nbsp;process, we are still working on our designs by practising different stitches.&nbsp; We have worked on back stitch, running stitch, over stitch and blanket stitch.&nbsp; We are excited to begin sewing our final projects!

In&nbsp;Science&nbsp;we have been looking at states of matter and answering Big Questions such as, &quot;Which substances are soluble or insoluble?&quot; We have been carrying out experiments and investigations to test our Big Questions.

Our&nbsp;PE&nbsp;lessons have been inspired by Harry Potter this half term!&nbsp; We are learning how to play Quidditch (sadly using hockey sticks instead of broomsticks) and have been choreographing our own dance routines to the Harry Potter theme tune.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Monday 14th November

In&nbsp;Maths&nbsp;we have been working on prime numbers, multiples, factors, square numbers and cube numbers.&nbsp; Soon we will be moving onto the formal process for multiplication.&nbsp; Don&#39;t forget to keep revising your times tables using TTRS!

Our&nbsp;English&nbsp;lessons have been doing lots of descriptive writing, ensuring we are using adventurous vocabulary and a variety of sentence structures.&nbsp; This week we are beginning to revise some important Key Skills ready to write a Harry Potter inspired letter...&nbsp; We have also enjoyed welcoming our adults into the classroom this week for our Come and Learn sessions, which have focused on writing.

We are beginning to follow the&nbsp;DT&nbsp;process of Explore --&gt; Design --&gt;&nbsp; Create --&gt; Evaluate.&nbsp; After exploring different materials, we used Computer Aided Design to create our designs.

We recently took part in a&nbsp;PSHE workshop&nbsp;which reminded us all about how to stay safe at home, school and online.&nbsp; We watched different sketches which demonstrated different situations, and we then discussed them in groups.&nbsp; We learnt the PANTS rule to help us remember the key messages.&nbsp; You can see some photographs of this event below.
