Spelling Challenge
We have had a super learning week in Year 5.
In English, Year 5 have been writing about the kind of lives children faced in Victorian times. We have also been practising using exciting and descriptive sentence openers.
In Maths we have been continuing to learn about fractions and how to simplify them and how to write thousandths as fractions. Well done to everyone who also completed extra maths revision sheets at home.
This week in RE, we have been spending time discussing how we could live out Jesus’s greatest commandment: to love God with all our hearts, our souls and our minds. Everyone wrote a personal letter to God to explain how they were going to live their lives for God and there were some fantastic ideas. Amazing!
In computing we have started to create powerpoint presentations about The Vikings, linking in with our current history topic.
We have also started to use charcoal in art, practising skills that could be scaled up for set design
Finally, we have been learning more about our solar system and how the earth orbits the sun. Great work Year 5!
