2 weeks of our last half term in Year 5 down, 5 to go!
It has been a wonderful week here in Class 5.
We have continued our work on the amazing poem, The Highwayman and even started writing our own narratives of the poem from the point of view of Tim The Ostler. I have been so impressed with the children’s enthusiasm towards this piece of work this week – so many of them have come up to me throughout the week to tell me it’s their favourite piece of writing they have ever done! Not only that, but when I have been marking the work, it’s clear how much effort has been put into it by everyone as the work was just amazing.
In maths we have been converting between different units of measurement all week – a very tricky topic! We have been changing from mm to cm and m, from g to kg and from ml to l. The children have worked so hard and really helped each other with this learning too with lots of tables working together to solve complex problems. It has been great to see.
On Tuesday we were treated to an afternoon of environmental adventure. Mrs Oddy in reception arranged for us to have a visit from a local biodiversity company who helped us learn all about the different wildlife within our school from plants and trees to animals. Birds and insects. It was wonderful for us all to get out into nature and explore our wonderful surroundings.
History has also been a very exciting subject this week. We have been learning about absolute rulers of the UK along with constitutional monarchies too. We looked at the signing of the Magna Carta which the children acted out in their own dramatizations and we have also been learning more about Henry VIII and the English Reformation.
What a fabulous week!
Enjoy your weekend everyone.
Miss Eastwood
