I can’t believe we are in our summer term already! The year is really flying by and my amazing Class 5 children have started the week with an incredible attitude to their learning and fabulous behaviour as always. Well done Class 5! This week’s blog has been written by our very own Jack and Ella. We hope you have as much fun reading it as they did writing it. Enjoy!

On Monday, in English we were preparing for our SATS extra early by answering SATS style questions and reading Dodge and the Tornado. The question was to know how to get 3 marks in SATS. Here is an example of on of the questions. Using evidence from the text, give two examples of how the author builds a sense of danger surrounding the impending storm (3 marks).The next day, we did another comprehension to do with SATS. The question was to know a characters traits using evidence from the text.
This week in Maths, we were learning how to draw 3D shapes on isometric paper. At first it didn’t really work because we used the wrong type of isometric paper but then Miss Eastwood printed the right paper. The next day, we learnt how to solve problems involving nets of 3D shapes. We carried on today and found it quite enjoyable.
In Topic we started our new topic about different natural resources. The resources are Agricultural which is all to do with different types of farming, Geological which is all about resources that can be found under the ground. Wind energy is where wind is converted into electricity. Solar power is created by using the sun power like electricity. Geothermal energy is a way of converting heat from underground volcanos into heating and electricity. Hydropower is a way of creating electricity by using water. They are better than fossil fuels because they don’t produce carbon dioxide which is bad for the environment.
In PSHE we learnt about a girl’s period. In class we were just talking about the changes and what it is. We talked about that we would need to wear deodorant and what tampons and pads were. In RE we learnt about why Abraham was important to Christians. We answered questions that Mrs Kendal wrote on the board like why did he have to leave his home, family and friends and why did he get chosen by God to leave.
Altogether we have had a really great first week back, we are excited about our news topics and looking forward to learning more.
