w/c 16.10.23 This week in Year 5!

Date: 19th Oct 2023 @ 3:37pm

We have had a fantastic French curriculum week to finish this first half term.

During literacy, we have enjoyed exploring the text: ‘The Hunchback of Notre-Dame’ and writing a description as Quasimodo. We have been using our knowledge from this term to include similes, metaphors and personification in our writing. In maths, we have researched French menus and created our own, adding prices and managing money to buy foods such as: croissants, escargot and croque monsieur. Some children would love to try snails whereas others would prefer to sample some crepes.

We have also explored French landmarks, the children would love to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower and visit the Louvre! The children created their own watercolour paintings of their favourite landmark.

We have used our research skills to discover facts about the French Revolution and Bastille Day. All of the information we have learnt this week can be found in our ‘French Curriculum Week’ keynote presentations, please ask your child to share this learning with you!

Please be aware that next half term the children will have PE on both Thursday and Friday, please can you ensure that they wear their PE uniform on these days.

We hope that you have a fantastic and safe half term and look forward to seeing the children when they return on school on Monday 30th October.
