BLOG
Here is our blog all about what we have been doing in Class 5 this week!
ENGLISH
In English we have been watching this cool clip to inspire out writing and it’s called “The Eye of The Storm” It shows a man who is flying on an ancient aircraft. He has a dragon pet and is flying towards a horrific storm. As the wind picks up, he sadly lets his dragon pet fly away into the deadly skies. We also wrote a flashback for the clip too, to explain a little bit more about the characters past. Tommy has decided to share his example flashback which reads: “Picking up the vessel he stared at the contents as it bubbled in front of him, then a tear trickled from his eye ball… It reminded him then about when his father sadly died.” Such an emotional flashback!
PE
In PE we have been working on football during our Wednesday lessons. We have learned how to do dribbling, we have also learned how to do passing and this week we even practiced tackling during attacks and defending too. In dance we have been stretching and learning a brand-new street dance. We have been very successful in the dance (which is fast paced and quite tricky!)
MATHS
In maths we have been doing about fractions and they have been a true difficulty to the whole class so far but today we had a bit of a breakthrough when comparing fractions with different denominators. Miss Eastwood said she was very proud of our hard work and determination and has said that we will continue to practice and will continue to improve.
HARVEST SONGS
During our singing assemblies, for the past few weeks, we have been learning how to sing and perform some harvest festival songs in preparation for next week’s harvest assembly. We have been learning ‘Cauliflowers Fluffy’ and ‘Harvest Tango’! We wonder if you know any of the lyrics.
MEDITATION
Miss Eastwood has introduced something new this week. Each day after lunch we have begun spending 5 or so minutes practicing breathing meditation to relax and calm down ready for our afternoon learning. It is something that Jemima has particularly enjoyed but the whole class also seem to be enjoying it too.
EXTRA JOBS
Finally, we are really looking forward to Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week because Mr. Kershaw has told us that some Year 5 pupils can take over the Year 6 jobs such as door monitor, office monitor and reception helper whilst the Year 6 pupils are away on their residential trip. We can’t wait for the extra responsibility!
We hope you have enjoyed reading our blog.
Tommy and Jemima
