Well Year 5 have blown me away yet again with another fantastic week as we race towards the end of this busy half term!
We have had a week of great behaviour, 100% effort and lots of fun and laughter. I would particularly like to say a huge WELL DONE to the children for their impeccable behaviour whilst representing the school during our visit to Holmfirth High School to watch their production of the Wizard of Oz on Tuesday. It was an absolute pleasure to take them and was lovely to see how much their all enjoyed it.
We are changing things up a bit this week and this week every single member of our class has contributed to our blog. Working in their tables of 3-4 pupils, the children have written a small paragraph about their past week in Class 5 at Netherthong!
We hope you have as much fun reading it as they all did writing it. Enjoy!
Thank you.
Miss Eastwood

On Tuesday this week we went to see the high school performance of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ at Holmfirth High School. It was outstanding! On Monday we started our English work whereby we will be writing a letter of complaint to our government about deforestation in the Amazon rainforest. We started by learning lots of devastating facts about deforestation. We also had a new helper come into school, Peoni, who was lovely and helped us gather our facts. In Maths we have been learning about rounding decimals to whole numbers or to one decimal place.

This week we had a very exciting week! On Tuesday we got to go to the local high school to watch their place. The Wizard of Oz but sadly Isla was ill along with Hattie and Freya. On Wednesday we practiced the last few bits of a dance in PE so now we only need to sort out some cool outfits and clean a few little parts up. On Thursday in maths we worked on rounding decimals in money which was a little tricky but we made sure to ask Miss Eastwood and our table buddies for help. We also did rugby training in PE on Thursday which was really fun, we were able to play a full game of tag rugby!

On Tuesday we had a mini school trip where we walked up to the high school in single file so it wasn’t dangerous. Miss Eastwood was at the front of the line, Miss Kelly was at the back and Miss Monday in the middle to make sure it was safe for all of us. The play was about The Wizard of Oz and it was really good! It felt like we were watching a real performance, well I guess we were! We particularly liked all the cool round effects and how there were so many different characters. On Wednesday we learned the final part of our dance ready for our performance at the Lawrence Batley Theatre in a few weeks’ time. We also found out which of us would get to perform solo dances! Congratulations to Jemima, Betsy, Martha and Zachary.

We have enjoyed doing English this week because we are preparing to write a formal letter of complaint. Maths this week was quite hard but we did enjoy it. We have been learning about rounding decimals and whole numbers. The high school trip this week was also really cool and it was a lot of fun walking up to the school. Finally, in topic this week we learned about Sir David Attenborough and even wrote a biography about this life.

We really enjoyed English this week because we are writing a formal letter about deforestation, something we are all really interested in. It was extra fun because Miss Eastwood placed different facts about deforestation all around the hall and we had to take part in a kind of treasure hunt to find and read them all. We have also been learning about Sir David Attenborough in our topic lessons and all of the amazing things he’s done for the environment. In Maths we have been rounding decimals to the nearest whole number, nearest tenth and also to the nearest 10p in money.

On Tuesday we walked to the high school to see the play The Wizard of Oz. On the way there we all started to sing ‘We’re off to see the wizard, the wonderful l wizard of Oz’ and we really enjoyed this! There were so many cool sound effects and even smoke effects whilst watching the play. They even made it snow in the hall! Also, the school kindly handed out ice lollies during the break, they were lemon flavoured and really nice. All the cast played each character wonderfully which kept us all really entertained. The actors had enthusiasm, whit, creativity and exaggeration, it was fantastic!

It has been an exciting week this week in Class 5. We went on a class trip to Holmfirth High School to watch The Wizard of Oz on Tuesday and it was amazing. On Wednesday did our dance lesson and have almost complete dour dance, we just need to choose our outfits and finish a few last little bits. On Thursday we did rugby and practiced our music during our brass lessons. We also learned about Sir David Attenborough in our topic lesson and wrote a biography about his life, which was really interesting.

On Tuesday we walked to Holmfirth High School to watch the play The Wizard of Oz. It lasted two hours. On Wednesday Mrs Kendall taught us how to be safe in major emergencies. On Wednesday afternoon we completed our dance routine with our dance teacher Ashleigh. We also looked at an example letter of complaint about deforestation in English on Wednesday to help inspire us to write our own version next week. In Thursday’s Maths lesson we looked at rounding decimals to the pound when dealing with money. We also did our PE lesson of rugby on Thursday afternoon but unfortunately there were a couple of scraped knees as children fell over while trying to score a try.
