Year 5 Blog Friday 14th July 2023

Happy Friday and welcome to your Friday Blog

We have had a super week this week, lots of exciting things going on. 

On Monday and Tuesday we played instruments and joing in with singing song from the musical Oliver to support Year 6 with their performance. It was very hot and took a lot of practice but we did a great job! 

In maths we have been learning about Roman Numerals. 

We learnt what the different letters represent and how they are used. We followed 3 rules when writing roman numerals:

1. If a smaller numeral comes after a larger numeral, add the smaller number to the larger number.
2. If a smaller numeral comes before a larger numeral, subtract the smaller number from the larger number. 
3. Do not use the same symbol more than three times in a row. 

In English we have been practising identifying nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. We have also been using different sentence types and different punctuation to describe settings from Harry Potter. 

Noun - person, place, thing

Adjective - describes or modifies a noun or pronoun

Verb - words that show an action (sing), occurrence (develop), or state of being (exist)

Adverb - modifies or describes a verb, adjective or another adverb

On Friday we enjoyed Super Learning Day. We were split into two groups and moved around the school to take part in different exciting activities with different teachers. Here are some of the things we did:
