Another fantastic week in Year 5 this week!
We started things off on Monday by practicing some Year 6 SATS style reading questions which can be really scary! I was so proud of how the entire class tackled them with positivity and determination and everyone’s efforts were fantastic. Later in the week we used the text from one of the reading questions to inspire us to write our very own 2nd chapter of the story – it was all about ‘Lil Pele’ a young and aspiring footballer who lived in the Brazilian favelas.
In Maths this week we focussed on shapes and angles, recapping our understanding of properties of 3D shapes and revising how to use protractors to measure angles.
We also kick started our brand-new topic, having spent last week completing our topic work form last half term. Our new topic is called ‘Our World’ and this week we have learned what natural resources are and looked at some examples such as geological resources and agricultural resources. We also learned the different between renewable and non-renewable resources and make some incredible fact-file posters about wind power, solar power, geothermal power and hydropower. I was particularly impressed with everyone’s artistic skills when depicting each of these in drawings.
We have also been spending lots of time practicing for the Kirklees Primary Music Festival coming up on 18th June. We have been learning various songs and the classroom has sounded so beautiful, filled with lovely music all week!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Miss Eastwood
