 Year 5, You have had an interesting week! We spent the week using a range of resources to research air pollution, plastic pollution and deforestation in English. In maths, we have compared and ordered fractions with denominators that are multiples and compared fractions of amounts. In computing, you continued to develop image-creating skills by forming vector images using layering of shapes. You learnt about Abraham and his importance to Jews in RE and in PSHE you thought about the jobs that you would like to do and the salaries of different professions. On Tuesday, you all looked great dressed for our Viking day, which I hope you enjoyed as much as I did!   Next week, you will continue to work with fractions but this time adding and subtracting them. In English, you will use all of your research to plan and write a letter (with a difference!) You will develop more skills in computing while creating images, and will learn about more forces in science. We will also conti...

 Year 5, It has been another very productive week. You have learnt, performed and written your own descriptive poems; considering rhythm and the message. In maths, you have found equivalent fractions, and compared fractions with different denominators. You spent an afternoon designing and creating Viking shields – thank you for bringing in your cardboard. In RE, you considered the different symbolic items in Judaism, including looking at some of them in class.   You had a chance to bake your bread from last half term, which looked fantastic (despite our slight error with the fire alarm and a visit from the Fire Brigade!) A number of children have asked for the recipes we used - please see the links below: White bread/ Wholewheat bread -  Easy bread rolls recipe | BBC Good Food   Soda bread -  Kids' soda bread recipe - BBC Food   Tortilla -  Tortillas recipe | BBC Good Food Next week you will have our Viking workshop day (Tuesday) where you will lea...

  Year 5, Well that was a quick first week back! However, we have managed to squeeze a lot in. We have finished our previous class text ‘The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane’, introduced our new class text ‘The Nowhere Emporium’ and predicted what might happen. You have also decided your final bread design considering seasonality and culture. You have also written your narrative section based on Mr Wuffles in English, and continued to work with fractions in maths. You have learnt about life in Britain before the arrival of the Vikings in history and considered Gravity as a force in science.   Next week, you will be making your bread. You will be producing poems with a focus on vocabulary choice for impact and will have an opportunity to perform poems in class. In maths, you will continue with fractions; comparing and converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers. You will be creating Viking shields (please remember your cardboard on Monday or Tuesday) and wi...
