Maths - Decimals as fractions
Today, we are going to be learning Decimals as fractions using White Rose Maths (Summer Term, Week 1, Lesson 2). On the White Rose website there is a video lesson explaining the strategies you will need and providing exercises for you to practise at home.
Scroll down and find the tab for Summer Term - Week1
The worksheets form part of the home learning booklet available from school or can be accessed here: Week 1, lesson 2
Lesson 2 : To understand the term racism
The word racism gets thrown around a lot and many of us don't really understand what it really means and the impact of racism across the world. I've tried to break it down for you with some videos and a short writing task to complete afterwards. If you would like to share any of your thoughts, feelings or have questions on the lesson or anything related to racism I'm here to help and support as best I can.
The link for the PDF is here.

Year 5 updates
So today we returned to school and even though I have 4 lovely Year 5s in I am missing seeing you as a whole class, missing your beautiful smiles, your infectious laughs and seeing all the amazing work you do every single day.
Thank you to Aaminah who sent in her amazing work from today! I'm so proud of you and impressed with how you have articulated your responses. We discussed some really key points in class and talked about our feelings and thoughts. I hope you have all been able to do so today either alone or with a member of your family.

Lesson 1: To understand what we have seen in the news recently
So this is the first of the four lessons this week where we are discussing racism. I hope you find this useful as a learning tool and/or to know that this is important to us at De Beauvoir which is why we want to address it.
Click here for the PDF copy, make sure you read through each clip and watch the video at the end. I'd love to know your thoughts, ideas and questions so please feel free to comment in the comment box below. I understand that they are talking about America but we must know that the same applies here.
Welcome Back and English tasks intro
Good morning Year 5, I hope you all had a wonderful half term and are ready to get back to some learning this week. I feel really lucky that I get to see some of you in school this week but will of course missing
all of those that I don't get to see 😢
There has been a lot in the news recently which I can imagine is making many of you feel quite anxious so I think it is important that we discuss and learn about it.
The series of English lessons this week will be about the murder of George Floyd, about protesting, racism and what we can do to support. It is crucial that we try to understand, learn about and teach others about racial injustice not only in America, not only in London but all around the world.
I'm here as a learner myself, I don't have all the answers, so together we can join in solidarity with the communities globally who are victims of racism every single day.
The lessons look like this and I will be posting a new one every day. I have made them as suitable for Year 5 as possible. You can download the PDF link and flick through the pages.
1) LI: To understand what we have seen in the news recently
How does the news make you feel, what and why it is happening.
2) LI: To understand the term racism
What does the word mean, who is affected and how it leads to racial profiling in Hackney
3) LI: To understand why we protest
What can protests achieve and why they don't always remain peaceful (discussions on how police have encouraged rioting)
4) LI: To understand how we can show support
Both to friends/family who are worried and to the wider cause
