Spelling Challenge  

We have had a great week in Year 5.

We had our Moving Up Mornings on Tuesday and Thursday when we spent the morning in Year 6 with Miss Orme. She was very impressed with us and thinks we are definitely ready for Year 6.

In English, we read a poem called The Lion and Albert by Marriott Edgar. This poem is set in Lancashire. We continued the poem in the style of the author and included some vocabulary that you would hear in Lancashire.

In Maths, we revised the properties of shapes and used these properties to identify whether  a shape was regular or irregular. We also learnt about measures. We started by estimating the capacity of different containers and then measured the liquid to see how accurate we were.

In Art, we used different patterned paper to design an outfit for the Euros. Everybody came up with amazing ideas including football, tracksuits and dresses in the colour of different flags.

In PE, we practised our football and tennis skills. We worked well in our teams and enjoyed an active afternoon.

Have a super weekend! Don't forget the Summer Fair is on Saturday.
