Focus Week - Year 5
What a busy and enjoyable time we have had in Year 5 so far!
In English, we have been exploring Hidden Figures and have written our own biographies inspired by this. We have also been writing creatively using a range of exciting stimuli, which has really allowed our imaginations to shine. Recently, we finished our work on Odysseus and created our own myths. We had great fun with this topic and were incredibly creative in our storytelling.
In Maths, we have been looking at fractions in more detail. We have been adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, as well as developing our understanding of decimals and finding fraction equivalence. We have worked really hard to understand decimals and have been using manipulatives to help support our learning.
In Science, we have been studying life cycles and learning about the differences between them. We are especially excited because we currently have our own caterpillars in class, which will soon be turning into butterflies!
In DT, we have been making our own soft toys using a blanket stitch. We carefully designed, cut out, and stitched our toys. We thoroughly enjoyed this project, and the results have been amazing.
We also had a fantastic time celebrating World Book Day. We came to school dressed as either a book character or a word, and the outfits were incredibly impressive. We created our own reading café, where we shared our books while enjoying a biscuit. We also created our own version of Pinocchio, wrote play scripts, and performed them using puppets. Year 5 took part in a drama performance where each class had a part in the Pinocchio story. At the end of the day, we showcased our part to the rest of the school.
It has been a wonderful and productive time in Year 5, and we are very proud of all our hard work and creativity!
