   Good afternoon Year 5, I have been really impressed by your approach towards your learning this week. You have now unpicked and planned an Ancient Greek myth and I am very excited to read your writing once it has begun. In Maths, you have secured long multiplication and begun to apply it to problems and in Science you discussed the thermal insulator and conductor properties of materials before planning and undertaking an experiment. You also recorded and concluded your results. Our History topic has continued and you have become warriors and understood how they organised their warfare. Next week, you will finish your plans and begin writing your myths by looking at the setting and introducing your main character. In Maths, we will be looking at written division and applying this to problems. In History, we will begin looking at the daily lives of the Ancient Greeks. In computing we will populate a spreadsheet with your data from today and use this to create graphs, and ...

  Year 5, This has been quite a week. You have written diaries as Herakles, considered the importance of Jerusalem to multiple faiths and learnt how to tell the time in Spanish. In Maths, you have developed your use of addition and subtraction including written methods and in History considered whether you’d rather be Spartan or Athenian – with some great reasons given. Alongside this, you have participated in Anti-Bullying week through your odd socks on Monday, creating anti-racism ribbons and creating anti-bullying mini-movies from notes, to scripts, to filming and editing.  Next week, you will continue to develop your formal written methods in Maths but this time with multiplication. We will finish reading ‘The 12 labours of Herakles’ in English and then begin to plan your own version. We will also continue to read ‘Who let the gods out’ and find out a little more about Thanatos’ plan. In Science, we will plan and undertake an investigation. Our History will look at som...

    Year 5, Another full-on week and another impressive range of learning. This week you have painted and written beautiful pieces of learning relating to Remembrance, including some very poignant cinquains. You demonstrated fantastic levels of respect and real consideration of others when completing the 2 minutes silence. In Maths, you considered a range of mental methods for addition and subtraction and in science you identified and classified different materials that are used around school; then considering the reason for their use. In History, you studied the geography of Greece and ancient Greece as we began our new topic. Next week is ‘Anti-Bullying week’ and we will be theming our learning on Monday around this. Be sure to wear odd socks on Monday as it is ‘Odd Socks Day’ to celebrate that everyone is different . You will be beginning a new focus in English and it will result in a myth over the next few weeks. You will be using your refreshed knowledge of fronted ad...
