Year 5 Science : Plant Life Cycles. PDF Print E-mail
Written by Mrs Withers   

This term in Science, we have been learning about the life cycles of plants. We carried out an investigation to find out what seeds need to germinate. Some of the plants were so successful, we're still growing them!

We've examined and dissected flowers to find out about their parts and what their functions are.

The children will have one week to complete each piece of homework. 

Homework ...

If a piece of homework is late, the children will be asked to stay in at lunchtime for ten minutes to complete an extra piece of work; homework will still need to be done at home.

Homework activities are displayed on the classroom door, and extra copies are in the homework tray inside the door.

The children will write the results of their spelling tests in their homework diaries each week.  House points will be given for good times table or spelling results, and for handing in all pieces of homework for the week on time.

There is a space on the homework sheets for you to write comments on your child's completion of the task if you wish.

Expectations and routines

The children should keep themselves organized, taking responsibility for their possessions and managing their homework.

They will need their PE kits on a Monday and Friday.

They should bring their homework diary and pencil case into the classroom with them at morning registration, to copy that day's homework from the board.

The children are expected to take increasing responsibility for their own learning. During lessons, they are expected to work quietly to enable themselves and others to concentrate.

If they do not complete a sufficient amount of work in a lesson, they may be asked to complete it during a break time.
