w/c 02.10.23 This week in Year 5!

Date: 6th Oct 2023 @ 7:50am

We started the week with an exciting ‘meet the author’ event, via Teams. The children were able to listen to Sir Lenny Henry discuss what it’s like to be an author and create stories and characters. We also talked about his involvement in Comic Relief and was he pleased to hear we are learning about Black History Month – his hero is Nelson Mandela.   

He gave the children a great tip when writing stories... start with the question ‘What if....?’ This led to some lively discussions in class: what if I was invisible? What if I was king? What if I went to space?  

The children have also completed their William Shakespeare biographs this week and have been learning about division in maths. Keep practising your times tables on TTRockstars to help with your division skills. The children have particularly enjoyed reading Romeo and Juliet, please do ask them about it.  

Please continue to read at home and have a great weekend!
