Year 5
Weekly Update - Friday 13th December 2024
Summary of this week:
This week the children have really enjoyed creating their own art installations in their boxes. They thought about environmental issues such as deforestation and climate change to create their scenes.
In Geography we made tourist brochures about the Alps. We now have a really good knowledge of leisure activities and the climate in this area.
In Science we have continued our Space theme.
In maths we have been looking at line graphs, tables and word problems.
In English we have focused on past, perfect tense. We have also written, edited and published our own stories using the story ‘The Gift of Magi’.
Our learning next week:
This is the final week before our Christmas holidays and we will be having some fun as well as continuing to work on our curriculum. Tuesday is the Christmas fair which is always a fun day.
Friday – children may bring in a game to share with their peers (no electronics please). These will be the children’s responsibility to keep safe. We shall also be treated to a staff pantomime and movie where the children are welcome to bring in a snack (no nuts please).
Maths: We will be continuing with solving word problems and later on doing some fun Christmas-themed challenges.
English: We will be looking at Mog’s Christmas Calamity and writing new and improved versions.
