Y5 Sum 2 IPC Parent Leaflet - Bake it.pdf

IPC PROJECT FOR Summer 2 2017: Bake it!

The Big Idea

We are going to ﬁnd out about science by making bread. The processes involved in bread-making can teach us how molecules behave in different materials (solids, liquids and gases) and how these materials can be changed.

In Science:
- We will be able to:
- Carry out experiments to see how states of matter change.
- We will know:
- How carbon dioxide behaves; which solids dissolve in water; what happens when food is heated.
- We will be developing our understanding of:
- Solids, liquids and gases.
In International:
- We will understand:
- Why there are food shortages in some parts of the world and what we can do to help.
- We will know:
  Why bread has importance for people all over the world.
English And Maths
English:

We will be reading There’s a boy in the Girls’ Bathroom by Louis Sachar. Through this text we will practice writing in the ‘voice’ of a character.

We will continue to improve our SPaG knowledge, skills and understanding, in particular consolidating knowledge of word classes and beginning to learn about Reported Speech.

Maths:

Please help your child to know all of the times tables facts up to 12 x 12 and their related division facts.

This is incredibly important and is actually a Year 4 objective.

We will also be working hard to remember how to:
- Use the order of operations,; use short written methods of calculation.
We will also be working hard to remember how to:
- Use the short written method for division; find fractions of quantities.
important dates
Trip
- We will be visiting the Natural History Museum on Friday 9^th June. We will take part in a Volcano and Earthquake workshop. This will be £3 per child. If you are able to come on this trip, please contact the school office to arrange a DBS check.
Friday 30^th June 9am: Phoenix 3 Class Assembly

Thursday 20^th July: We hope every child from Nursery to Year 6 will bring in a plate of something homemade and scrumptious. At 9.30am, children will begin the festivities and enjoy tasting food from all over the world, present day and past.
