Yet again, another fabulous week in Class 5! We have had a jam-packed week full of lots of learning. From writing our very own sloth poems in English (ALL of which were incredible by the way), to learning about area, perimeter and volume in Maths and even scoring lots of tries in Rugby! (My apologies to parents for the muddy knees from Thursday, the children were so enthused by the game that they could not help themselves but dive for the tries!).
I have been beaming with pride all week, well done Class 5!

PE
In PE we have been doing dance on a Wednesday with our dance teacher Ashleigh. Ashleigh is a really good teacher and dancer and has been showing how to do so many cool new moves so we can get ready to perform at the Lawrence Batley theatre. We are all really excited! We have almost finished our dance but we still need to learn the start of the song. The song is called Finesse by Bruno Mars and Cardi B. The start of the song is a rap by Cardi B.
In PE on a Thursday we do rugby. This week we were aloud to be on the grass. Our rugby teacher is called Mr Jones. During the lesson we did an activity where someone had a rugby ball and that person would pass it to the next person and score a try without a defender tagging you. It was great fun and LOTS of children were diving in the mud to score their try. There were lots of muddy knees by the end of the lesson!
English
In English this week we have been writing poems linked to our topic ‘The Rainforest’ and one of our poems was a sloth poem. So, we had to describe the movements of a sloth. It was really fun! We even made a piece of music about a sloth to reflect a sloth’s movements, behaviours and appearance. Some children even got to perform their musical piece to the class. We then used the music as inspiration to help us write the poems.
Maths
This week in maths we have been looking perimeter, area and volume. We learned that the perimeter is the length all the way around a shape and you can work this out by adding up the length of each side. The area is the part inside a 2D shape and you can work this out by multiplying the length and the width. Finally, the volume is the part inside a 3D shape. You can work this out by multiplying the height x width x depth. So many people in class did really well in Maths with lots of children completing ALL THREE sets of questions!
Science
In science we have been looking at life cycles of different living things and then reproduction of animals. We even got to spend today playing a fun game of throwing peas into cups to replicate the reproduction process of different animals. Miss Eastwood was panicking ALL afternoon about the amount of peas flying around the room and landing on the floor. It was really funny.
Thank you for reading our blog.
