We have been pretty space obsessed in Class 5 this week!
In our English lessons we have been researching the amazing, British astronaut, Tim Peake. We have learned all about his early life, his career in the army, when he joined the European Space Agency and all of the amazing things he got up to on the ISS (International Space Station). We have read lots of books, articles and watched many videos to make sure that thoroughly conducted our research. We will be putting all of this research to great use next week when we write biographies about his life. Exciting stuff!
We had a very interesting science lesson this week too where we used sheets of toilet paper to map out the distances of the planets from the sun. It was great fun and we learned so much about our solar system in the process.
Maths has been fun this week to, we started the week by learning about rounding to the nearest 10, 100, 1000, 10,000 and 100,000 before looking at multiples and factors. I have been so impressed with the maths work that the children have produced this week – we clearly have some maths wizards in Y5!
Our PE lessons have continued to focus on gymnastics and netball, and we started a piece of artwork in PSHE which will represent our individual identities.
The children also continued their Mandarin lessons this week where they were each given their own ‘Chinese name’ place cards. They really enjoyed learning and practicing to speak their names in Mandarin.
All in all, a really amazing week in Class 5!
I am so proud of each member of our class in how hard they have worked, they efforts in all subjects and their kindness to each other – keep it up!
I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
Miss Eastwood
