Happy Friday everyone! I can’t believe we are already at the end of Week 5. Just one more week to go until half-term. We’ve had a really busy, hands-on week in Year 5 and the kids have been absolute stars. In English, we’ve been reading Robot Girl by Malorie Blackman and if you haven’t heard about the big twist yet, definitely ask your children because it totally blew their minds! Inspired by the book, the class has started writing their own stories about robots facing problems.
Maths was a bit of a workout this week too, as we got interactive with area. We turned the classroom into a giant measuring zone, where the kids were hunting for objects all over the room, measuring them up, and calculating the area. It was great to see them realise that math isn’t just on a page, but is actually found on our tables and around the classroom.
We also had a splash of colour in RE while we talked about light and symbols. We decided to make our own stained glass windows using tracing paper and bits of coloured tissue paper to create some really vibrant designs. I’m so impressed with how hard year 5 is working.
