Class 5 Blog

MATHS

This week we have been learning how to read data, charts and graphs. It was really fun but tricky at the same time. Although it was a little tricky, some children in class managed to answer all of the questions on sets A, B and C!

Geography and English

Our topic this term is Ancient Greece and our English work has been linked to it. We are really enjoying the topic and if you want at lunch time, Miss Eastwood puts on a Greek Myth video and some children spend time watching them. In English this week we have been finishing up writing our newspaper reports about our book Odysseus which is based in ancient Greece.  Chapter 4 was about when Odysseus gets caught in a deadly storm and nobody can find them. Miss Eastwood told us all the steps of writing a newspaper report and we have been following this guidance to write our own. We have chosen the names of our newspaper companies, written headlines, by-lines, an introduction and then the body of the report. Next week we will be writing them up in our neatest handwriting using actual newspaper column layouts!

World cup

This week as most of you know the world cup started this week and Miss Eastwood kindly let us watch some of the first England match as long as we had completed our work first. It was England vs Iran. England won 6 – 2. We were all very excited. Sadly, we didn’t get any popcorn! On Thursday morning we all got envelopes to decorate. Inside the envelopes was different names of the football teams in the world cup. No one knows which team they have inside their envelopes but in January we will open the envelopes and see who got the winning team then they will win a prize.  Thursday afternoon we had an assembly about the world cup. Abby from – Pennine sports partnership- kindly ran the assembly which was very interesting, she even showed up highlights from different world up matches over the years!

Geography and Topic

This week in geography we had to race across Europe. We had to go from Leeds to Athens following a special map which gave estimated times for travelling from one area to another. We even had some winners for the quickest and the cheapest to travel. The winners were our very own Jemimah and Alex G with the cost of £140. Then Millie and Isaac with the time of 35hr.

PHSE

This week in PSHE we have been learning about how to understand value for money. We each got a statement and worked with our tables to make a mini court room and decide on agrees for that statement and disagrees. It was really fun! Here are some of the statements

EVERY COUNTRY SHOULD HAVE A NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE.

Shops should not offer people plastic bags.

It should be illegal to pay people an unfair price for their produce or work.

SCIENCE

Our science topic this term is forces. Some of our learning objective are:

To explain what makes objects fall to Earth.

To know what air resistance is.

We have also been doing water resistance.

We have really enjoyed this topic so far!

MUSIC

In brass this week Mr Whiteman taught us jingle bells and how to play F

We also found out that we are preforming in the winter fair! WE ARE SO EXCITED! 

We are so excited!
