I can’t believe we are already at the end of the half-term—where has the time gone? We’ve had such a busy, week in Year 5.
In English, we have officially finished our robot stories. Following on from our work on Malorie Blackman’s Robot Girl, the children have worked so hard to bring their own characters to life. We’ve had some very creative story lines and plot twists. In maths, we have continued to look at area. The kids are becoming real experts at measuring and calculating the space inside different shapes. It’s been great to see them applying what they learned from our prior lessons to more complex questions.
As it is children’s mental health week, we have also spent some time thinking about ourselves and our wellbeing. We’ve been making ‘where I belong maps’, creating islands that represent our lives. The children added all sorts of things that are important to them, like family, pets, sports, and their favourite interests. It was a lovely, calm way to reflect on what makes us who we are and celebrate everything that makes each student unique.
We am so impressed with how hard the year fives have worked this half- term. We hope you all have a lovely, relaxing half-term break, and we look forward to seeing everyone back for another great half-term in a week’s time!
