Welcome back to our very first week of our very last half term in Class 5!
What a week it has been!
We kicked things off on Tuesday by starting our brand-new English topic – The Highwayman. I have to admit, it’s one of my most favourite topics that we cover all year and I think the children might well agree, give how enthusiastic and engaged they have been with the topic all week. I have been blown away with some of the ideas that have been shared by the class when reading and analysing the poem. Not only that, but I also challenged the children to visualise the poem by drawing what they thought the scene would look like. The artistic skills were just incredible!!
In maths it has been decimals galore! We have bene adding, multiplying, subtracting and dividing all sorts of numbers which include decimal points. Everyone in class has worked so hard and the progress has been fantastic to see, well done, Class 5!
We have also started our brand-new topic this half term, Great Britain! We kicked things off by looking at the chronology of Monarchs of Great Britain right from 1066 up to present day. Each child created a poster/posters of their given monarch/monarchs and we made a huge timeline. We also learned some very interesting facts about lots of the different monarchs, for example, did you now that William the Conqueror’s body exploded at his funeral! Yikes!
PE this week has focussed on our athletic skills in preparation for our upcoming sports day, this week we looked at fine tuning our running skills by playing some really fun games of tig.
Finally, in our assemblies and in class this week we have of course been discussing the 80th anniversary of the D Day landings.
Overall, it has been another wonderful week in Class 5!
Have a great weekend everyone!
