Good afternoon everyone!
We have had another fabulous week in Class 5, which has been jam-packed with lots of new and interesting learning. I have seen lots of smiley, happy, curious, and excited faces all week and it has been wonderful to see such enthusiasm and joy for our learning.
In English we have been continuing to work on our setting descriptions of the planet Mars. We learned how we can edit and improve our work but focussing on changing nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs to make out writing more interesting and how to re-arrange our sentences so that they have the best effect on the reader. I have been SUPER impressed with the range of vocabulary and the incredible imagination that the class have put into their work.
In Maths we have continued to look at place value and identifying the value of a digit depending on where it is placed in a given number. The class have really impressed me with their place value knowledge, we definitely have some mathematical wizards in Class 5!
We have also started to really delve into our ‘Earth and Space’ topic, learning about lines of latitude and longitude, why we have day and night and indeed time zones. We finished our lessons off by telephoning Miss Eastwood’s friend, Joe, who lives all the way in Malaysia! We worked out what the approximate time would be there based on our new learning and asked Joe if we were correct – we were!
On top of all of that, we have also managed to squeeze in some amazing PSHE lessons all about how we are each unique and special, some gymnastics and netball lessons in PE, and learned about online safety in our Computing lessons.
A fabulous week!
Well done Class 5!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
Miss Eastwood
