Wow, what an incredible penultimate week we have had here in Y5!
We started the week with a bang by introducing our brand-new English genre for our writing lessons this week – a science fiction narrative. We began by watching a short video clip called ‘The Eye Of The Storm’ to inspire our stories and have worked on including really ambitious vocabulary, year 5 spelling words and even amplification within our writing to really excite and entertain the reader. I am SO looking forward to reading the final finished pieces next week, I just know they are going to be amazing.
In Maths we have been looking at different styles of numbers questions, ranging from negative numbers on Monday, to Roman Numerals on Thursday! I have been so impressed with how well the children have worked in Maths this week, they have been enthusiastic, sensible and helpful towards each other. How wonderful!
Our topic lessons have taken a focus on Art this week. We have been using chalk to create detailed images of The Moon. The creativity and care that has been put into the artwork by all the children has been absolutely amazing to see and I am so proud of the finished pieces. They are incredible!
Of course, we have also continued with our amazing brass lessons this week and our Mandarin lessons too. The children are really coming on in both Music and Mandarin – well done everyone!
With next Friday being an INSET day, we also completed our final PE Netball lesson for this half term by applying our netball skills to a game of bench ball as due to the poor weather we were unable to go outside and complete out netball tournament. The children have worked really hard on learning the different types of passes, footwork rules, their defence skills and even the positions and areas of play on the netball court this half term – you should all be so proud!
Overall, a fabulous week in Year 5.
Well done everyone!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
