Our class blog this week has been written by our very own Samuel and Ameila! We hope you enjoy reading it, but before you do, I would just like to say a HUGE WELL DONE to everyone in Class 5 for their truly incredible and seamless start to Year 5, you have all settled in so amazingly well and risen to the challenge of the Year 5 Curriculum. I cannot wait to see what the rest of the year has in store for us, lots more fun, lots more learning and lots more laughter I am sure!
I hope you all have a wonderful half term break and a spooky Halloween!
See you all next week!
Miss Eastwood :)
CLASS 5 BLOG
This week we have been doing lots of English work and in English we were finishing our descriptive pieces all about The Eye Of The Storm. We have been writing an introduction paragraph to show the reader what happened before the lone explorer went into the eye also, we wrote a flashback (to give more information about his past life). After that, we wrote about what happened when he went through the eye. We also used personification as a writing technique which is where you give something a human like feature when it can’t actually do that. An example is the wind roared as it leaped over me. (The wind can’t ACTUALLY roar!)
In PE we have done football and street dance. In street dance we did lots of different stretches and we were in different teams. In football we practised shooting accuracy passing and we even had a little tournament. Some of us also became playleaders this year! The playleaders for year 5 are Samuel, Alex H, Izzy, Millie, Jacob, Jack, Noah, Tiana, Evie and Florence! They will get to lead lots of different sporting activities with younger children at break and lunch times. How exciting!
This week we also had a harvest assembly where we sang harvest songs and spent time thinking about and being thankful for where our food comes from. Some Year 5 children even had to read a harvest poem and explanation sheet to the whole school to show why we have harvest. We were all really proud of them – shout out to Alex G, Jack and Tiana! Well done you three! Also, a HUGE thank you to everyone who donated to our harvest festival food drive, it will be a huge help to so many people.
In music we played cornets, baritones and trombones. This week we played rock songs heavy metal and steady music. We also learnt the notes E, C, D and B, it was amazing all of us enjoyed it.
In RE we learnt about the special places for Islam, Christians, and Muslims we also did a bit about the Roman Catholic religion. We also learnt about the Western Wall or the Walling Wall in Jerusalem and the Khaba and the pilgrimage to the Khaba.
In PSHE we did things we like all in a drawing and also, we talked about stereotypes and how there not good because they might be really nice like people think that teenagers are always on there phone or chewing gum but not all teenagers are like that.
We hope you enjoyed your half term because we certainly did! We also want to mention our two newer starters, Alex and Tiana who have settled in so well this half term! It feels like they have been here since reception.
Finally, we hope you all have an exquisite half term holiday.
Thank you for reading our blog,
Samuel and Amelia!
