This week in Class 5 we have been spending lots of time looking at time! All of our maths lessons have focussed on reading the time, changing from 12 to 24-hour time, changing from analogue time to digital time and even linking some outdoor learning to time as well! I have been so impressed with everyone’s enthusiasm and positivity to what is generally quite a tricky topic – well done Class 5!

Our English lessons have been linked to creating a non-chronological report all about wind power. We broke the whole writing process down into small steps and refined and editing our writing on whiteboards before writing our work up in best. I have been blown away with the fantastic writing that the class have produced, it has been a pleasure to read.

We have also found the time to squeeze in lots of interesting science investigations linked to our science topic ‘properties of materials’. We first looked at a variety of materials in investigated whether they were magnetic, transparent, soluble, and electrical. We then looked at different mixtures of materials and worked out which would be the best way to separate them, this included sieving, using magnets and even filter paper and funnels.

Amongst all that fun, we also spent some time outside (during the small snippet of good weather this week) practicing our tennis skills.

Another wonderful week.

Well done Class 5!

Miss Eastwood
