Another fabulous week of learning and fun here in Class 5!
We have been looking at poetry in our English lessons this week! We read a poem titled ‘6 Ways of Looking at The Moon’ by Pie Corbett which uses metaphors to describe The Moon. We then used this as inspiration to create our very own metaphors for The Moon, The Sun and the stars. One of my favourites was ‘The Sun is a giant fiery meatball sitting up in the sky’.
Finally, we put all of our metaphors together to create a final, 3-verse metaphor poem.
We have continued our work on place value in maths, this week looking at how to add and subtract numbers both mentally and using the written method. The children REALLY impressed me with their knowledge and skill in this area.
I couldn’t speak about this week without mentioning our very exciting science lessons! We have been learning all about the phases of The Moon and why we have seasons here on Earth. We even used chocolate biscuits to show the 8 different phases of The Moon. It was interesting AND delicious!
Class 5 have also REALLY impressed me with their incredible gymnastics’ skills! WOW! We created our very own gymnastic sequences using different balances and shapes we had learned last week. I was absolutely blown away with the high-level performances.
Keep up the GREAT work Class 5, I can’t wait to see what amazing learning we get up to next week.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone,
Miss Eastwood
