It’s been a great 1^st full week back. Everyone has settled into year 5 extremely well and it has been a pleasure getting to know the children.

In maths, we have been looking at place value. This has included, reading and writing large numbers, ordering numbers and finding missing numbers. Next week, we look at counting in 10s, 100s and 1000s.

In English, we have been using Little Red Riding Hood to look at sentence structure and we have also used it for descriptive writing. The children had to describe the woods, as well as describe the wolf. Then, they wrote a diary as Little Red Riding Hood.

Fallen Fields is the name of our project unit and it is all about World War 1. This week we about the advancements in technology that was used and created for the war. This focuesed on weapons, communication and transport. 

Science is all about the human body and the changes humans go through as they age. We had fun trying to guess baby pictures of staff members.

Music focuses on a song that we’re sure you know… Bon Jovi’s Livin’ On A Prayer. This week we listened to the song and tried to work out what instruments were being used and even how the hair styles looked in the glam-rock era.
