A super week had by all in Year 5!
In English we have been recapping our knowledge of diaries and the text Holes. We have discussed all the presentational and language features of a diary and its purpose and audience. To finish our week, we have taken the beginning of the text – Holes – and begin to plan our thoughts, feelings and opinions from Stanley’s point of view ready to write our diary next week.
Maths this week, focused on angles again. We have focussed on angles around a point adding to 360 degrees and angles on a straight line adding to 180 degrees. Finding missing angles using this knowledge and applying known facts to help solve problems. We finished our Maths learning this week by exploring angles in shapes and will continue this next week.
In Science we continued our children challenging industry programme in school, by thinking about manipulating sugar cubes. We investigated which materials were best at grinding the sugar down into powder. There was lots of fun had with the shaking of our tubs and we were intrigued by our results. The children are looking forward to their CCI trip next week to Net Zero!
This week, the girls had session 2 of their move and learn programme with MFC and the boys continued with their outdoor learning, which today included making their own woodland medallions. They combines skills of sawing, drilling and knot tying – excellent effort!
In PE, the children have aced their rounders session! They have focussed on batting this week by practising our stance, our holding of the bat and power when hitting. Great effort by all!
