Year 5 Blog Friday 21st June 2023

Happy Friday and welcome to your Friday Blog. 

We have had a lovely week in Year 5 this week. 

On Tuesday we had our taster day at All Hallows which we absolutely loved. We got to meet some of the teachers, find out facts about the school in a scavenger hunt, visit the sports hall to play some cricket and rounders, spend some time with the chaplain to talk about friendship and write down prayers, and have a dance off in groups in performing arts. Not to forget we got to try an All Hallows school dinner yum! 

Here is a gallery to see us on our taster day. 

In English we finished reading Varjak Paw. We loved it and are now excited to read parts of the Harry Potter books, Fantastic Beasts, and also the playscript the Cursed Child. 

In maths we have been learning about properties of shapes. Here are some of the words we have been using this week:

Polygon - a 2d shape with straight sides

Regular - has equal sides and angles

Irregular - does not have equal sides and/or angles

Perimeter - a measure of the outside of a shape

Angle - a turn between two lines measured in degrees

In French, we learnt how to say 6 ice cream flavours and give our opinion of them - either I love, I like, I don't like or I hate.... We looked at the phonic sounds in 'vanille' and 'menthe' and added actions to help us remember how to pronounce these words. Then we wrote a poster or 'lift the flap' quiz questions describing various sports without naming the sport. These are on display in the corridor - I'm very proud of Y5's French! Fantastique.

On Friday afternoon we took part in Tough Kidder. It was amazing to see everybody work together, supports each other, and have so much fun!
