w/c 13.11.23 This week in Year 5!

Date: 16th Nov 2023 @ 2:26pm

Everyone has had a busy, fun packed week in Year 5! 

We have started on new text this week, the legend of 'The Sea Serpent's Daughter', the children have enjoyed acting it out, generating vocabulary and writing a setting description for the bottom of the sea. Maths has been a little challenging this week, reading, interpreting and drawing line graphs. The children have learnt that it is very important to check what each axis represents before answering any questions. 

Music lessons have been particularly exciting this week. The children have begun a new topic, they began by using the bucket drums to play a Queen song, they also began learning Christmas songs. The children have continued to work on their capoeira dance sequence, this week focusing on 'dodges'.

Class 12 also enjoyed having Dexter visit our class this week, he especially enjoyed 'odd socks day' and Anti - Bullying week.  Anti-bullying week has prompted some great discussions across Year 5. The children enjoyed watching  a live lesson on the BBC which helped them to understand banter and how to understand individual limits. 

Please remember that school is closed for INSET tomorrow, we look forward to seeing the children on Monday.
