 Year 5, You were very busy this week. In maths, you have been identifying and creating equivalent fractions, and in English you began writing your chapter of the Labours of Herakles. In science, you planned and undertook an experiment testing the insulative properties of materials, and you considered the magnetism of materials too. In RE, you continued to learn about places of pilgrimage for Christians, and in design and technology you gathered and shared research on different types of bread; considering their differences and whether they are a flat or rising bread. Next week, you will continue to write your narrative in English and continue to work with fractions in maths. Science and computing will involve you presenting and analysing the results of your experiment last week. PSHE will include you considering types of bullying and adding these to your snakes and ladders game. Your project for this half term –  The Wonders of Greece   As you know, this half term...

 Year 5, This week you have worked really hard. In maths, you have identified cube numbers, and multiplied and divided with multiples of 10, 100 and 1000. In English, you have planned your own labour for Herakles, and have built your understanding of relative clauses. In computing, you logged into your emails, sent, read and returned emails to one another, and learnt how to upload and download attachments. Your history was then a research lesson on Ancient Greek gods and goddesses, where you emailed me your research. In PSHE, you focussed on anti-bullying week; considering what bullying is, and when 'banter' becomes bullying behaviour. Next week, in maths, you will begin a new topic. In English, you will begin writing your labour, and in science you will plan an experiment based on your learning on insulators from this week. In design and technology, you will be gathering research on different types of bread and RE will focus on pilgrimage. Your project for this half term...

 Year 5, It has been another busy week. In maths you have identified and worked with factors, prime numbers and square numbers. In English, you created beautiful poems inspired by Remembrance, and decorated these thoughtfully. You also had a grammar lesson on parenthesis. Science involved you learning features of different materials and then applying this to understanding the purposes of materials around the classroom. In history, you compared Athens to Sparta and found that they were very different places to be, and in PSHE you considered difficulties a refugee might face, and considered rights and responsibilities in school. Today you spent much of the days learning about and considering your Core Strengths. These were self esteem, resilience, and growth mindset. It was great to see you so invested in the learning and hopefully you have learnt a little more about yourselves in the process.  Next week , you will be continuing with a multiplication and division theme in maths ...
