  Year 5, You have finished your first half term of Year 5! Where has the time gone? This week you have worked on addition and subtraction, estimation and word problems in maths. In English, you have learnt about inspirational scientists who helped build NASA, and you have presented projects – focusing on your speaking and presentation skills. In science, you considered the phases of the moon and were entertained by the names given to these. You have also been creative when working on firework pictures. In the beginning of the week, you also worked hard to plan fieldwork for geography where you looked at recreation available in Potters Bar.

This week you have also written poems in English, and used formal written methods of addition and subtraction. In geography, you created a decorative information page on Innsbruck, and in Spanish you further developed your telling the time. In RE, you studied elements of a Synagogue and we had a discussion around historical persecution of Jews and the current situation in Israel and Gaza - initiated by yourselves; please remember that you are not to do your own research on this topic - it is one to discuss with your adults if you have questions.

In English, you completed your non-chronological reports on creatures of Pandora, and then celebrated National Poetry Day by learning and performing a range of poems in groups. In maths, you rounded numbers up to 1 million and then refreshed your knowledge of mental strategies for addition and subtraction. You have also researched Innsbruck in the Alps in geography and considered your rights and responsibilities in PSHE. In Spanish, you have been telling the time and in science you considered the orbits of the moon and Earth and how this influences us. Next week you will continue to learn strategies for addition and subtraction in maths, and will be writing some poems of your own in English.

You have now been set your half term project on space.  Yo...
