What another absolutely amazing week in Class 5! I have been EXTRA proud of my wonderful pupils this week as I have had so many teachers around school letting me know how brilliantly behaved they have been as they have seen them in the hallways, during assemblies, at lunch times and playtimes and just generally around school – it makes me SO happy to hear!
As always, we have had another jam-packed week with lots of fun. We have been continuing to work on the fantastic poem ‘The Highwayman’ in our English classes and have just started work on writing a narrative version of the poem from a different perspective – exciting stuff! In maths we have been working on converting between different units of measurement and weight and we are well on the way with our new topic lesson which this week took a focus to Henry VIII and the English Reformation.
On top of all of that we have had visits from the amazing flute player Simeon Wood (who has even featured on Britain’s Got Talent) to play his amazing flute, amongst other cool instruments and we took part in a boccia competition involving the whole school.
This week’s blog has been written by our very own Laura and Alex.
We hope you have as much fun reading it as they did writing it. Enjoy!
On 15th of June Thursday, there was a flute assembly where a man came in and talked to us, played some flutes. He also used some random objects and turned them into instruments. He somehow played a bike pump like a flute! He also joined some classes for some questions throughout the day. He showed us this item that he was going to play and we had to try not to laugh, after 1 tiny blow EVERYONE LAUGHED. It was a flute that made a trumping noise!
In maths we learned about problems including: weight and mass. (Of course, it was wordy problems that most people in class dislike doing! ☹).The questions were very tough but we dragged our self through and managed to produce some great work. We also reviewed our learning of decimals from last week.
On Wednesday, we actually did something really fun! We sketched our own trees while sat in the sun on the field. We also meditated under some trees in a relaxing way. When we were meditating we were told that we had to sit on our own to do it which was quite boring to us and a lot of thoughts went through our minds.
In English this week we continued on the highwayman poem and we drew a storyboard about the 6 main parts of the poem! We also looked at the words we didn’t understand and put the meaning on a piece of paper. It’s been a fun week in English.
Overall, we have had a great week but we are all looking forward to enjoying the sunny weekend!
Have a great weekend everyone!
