ANOTHER incredible week here in Year 5. This week I have been truly blown away by the maturity and sensible attitudes that all members of our class have shown. They have grown and progressed so much this year and I am very proud of each and every one of them.
This week’s blog has been written by our very own Toby and Alex G. We hope you have as much fun reading it, as they did writing it.

On Monday for English we wrote a chapter based on The Great Kapok Tree which is a book about a man (logger) who falls asleep from trying to cut down the tree and when he falls asleep the animals whisper in his ear.
On Tuesday for English we were starting chapter 2 which we had to write using Year 5&6 spelling words where a sloth and viper were talking to the men in our own version.
For maths we were solving division and multiplication word problems which most people found extremely tricky but we all persevered and by the end of the lesson, most people felt like they had improved in this area.
In science we are learning about puberty and the stages of puberty and ages of life. We also learnt about in science what changes we go through during puberty. We started this lesson on Tuesday by having a grown up and sensible discussion, before completing the lesson on Friday where we had to label the different changes that boys and girls go through during puberty. Miss Eastwood was so impressed with how sensible we all were, that she gave us each 3 raffle tickets!
On Wednesday in the morning we were doing PSHE where we learnt about secrets and the importance of them. Later that morning, in RE we wrote our own stories based on the value of forgiveness. At the start of the afternoon on Wednesday we were doing cricket during our PE lesson with Miss Eastwood where we were practising our bowling skills. We finished off the day by doing more English work, adding more chapters to our story of The Great Kapok Tree.
On Thursday we practised for our grammar test by doing 2 litz blitz! Lots of children moaned about this to begin with but actually, by the end of the lesson, almost everyone said they felt like they had progressed and learned something new. In Maths on Thursday we were multiplying decimals by whole numbers. In PE we did gymnastics where we learnt 5 new moves. To finish off the day we did brass where we recapped pieces of music.
On Friday we did two spelling tests one of them was our usual weekly spelling test, the other was a test to test our knowledge of spelling from this year. We had also had an early morning merits assembly where we unfortunately had to say goodbye to Miss Lindley and Alex G and Toby won the merits for class 5.
Finally, in topic we learnt about what kinds of foods the Mayans ate which heled up prepare for our cooking lesson on Monday next week where we will be making or very own Maya inspired dishes.
