w/c 30.10.23 This week in Year 5!

Date: 2nd Nov 2023 @ 9:43am

The children have had a fantastic start to the new term and we have been excited to hear about everything they did during the half term holiday. 

This week we have been learning about the fable 'The Rainbow Crow', the children have enjoyed acting out the story, sequencing the events and have been focusing on upleveling and improving their writing by using exciting sentence openers. We have enjoyed discussing the moral of the story and linking it to our own lives. 

In maths we have been learning about perimeter and area. The children have learnt to calculate the perimeter and area as well as finding any missing measurements on shapes. 

During topic we have been learning about the Spanish Armada and Christopher Columbus. The children were excited to learn that he discovered an island and named it San Salvador. 

For our reading comprehension we have been exploring an interview with Michael Rosen. This has prompted some lively discussions about his poems and books. 

Please ensure that your child is reading at home and record this in their yellow reading diary. 

Have a lovely weekend!
