Spelling Challenge  

We have had a wonderful week in Year 5.

In English we have done lots of challenging and enjoyable writing. We wrote a persuasive letter from the queen of Narnia to the children. Everyone worked very hard on this. We also spent time learning about and using adverbs and adverbial phrases.

In Maths we have been continuing with rounding numbers to the nearest 10, 100, 1,000 and 10,000. We have also been practising ‘what is 100/1.000/10,000/100,000 less than’, using 6 digit numbers.

Our topic in RE this week was all about making the right choices in life so that we stay close to God, our families and friends.

In music we have been listening to jazz music and trying to identify instruments. The children enjoyed learning about Louis Armstrong and his trumpet.

In French the children celebrated European day of Languages and found out about the benefits of learning other languages from Europe.

We conducted another experiment in science this week relating to friction. We measured the newton force required to move shoes along different surfaces. The children worked really well as young scientist explorers.

Finally, in art the children once again showed their creative side by creating drawings on maps. Well done Year 5.
