We have had a busy and productive week in Year 5.
In our maths lessons, we have been using the bubble method to help us get to grips with percentages. This is a fantastic way to visualise how numbers can be broken down into smaller pieces. We start with our main 100% bubble and then branch out to find 10% and 5% by dividing and halving.
Our English sessions have taken us all the way to outer space. We have started designing our very own Mars rovers, thinking carefully about what a robot would actually need to survive on a dusty, freezing planet. The children have been coming up with brilliant ideas for specialised cameras, solar panels, and sturdy wheels.
To bring our space designs to life, we have been getting messy in art. We are building dioramas out of boxes to show our rovers on the surface of Mars. So far, the children have painted the inside of their boxes to dry ready for next week.
Finally, a huge well done to everyone involved in winning the galactic challenge. Standing up to speak in front of a crowd is a massive achievement that requires a lot of confidence. We are all incredibly proud of how you represented the school.
