This week, I would really like to celebrate the children's collaboration skills across all areas of the curriculum. It is such a pleasure to watch them work as teams, help each other, problem solve and achieve so much.
In PE, we are working together in teams to create a festival style dance. The children came up with the moves individually, then worked together to put them into a routine.
In RE, the children worked in separate groups to research Jesus' miracles. They then re-joined their "home" groups to pass on their learning and answer the question "what do these miracles tell us about Jesus?"
In REACH activity, the children are working in groups to create a play for Reception to help them understand our REACH values. This is a particular highlight of my week because the children are really invested in helping our littlest learners to understand the values that they feel are so important to being part of our school family. It is an absolute pleasure to see.
The maturity and independence is fantastic, and we have had such an incredible first full week back.
Well done Year 5!
Week beginning 6th January
Class blog
We have had a very short week this week, but it still hasn't stopped us starting our learning straight away!
In RE, we have been looking at the question Jesus asked his disciples "Who do people say I am?". We looked at how Jesus is drawn in other cultures and made sketches of our own. We also looked at the scriptures and answered the question "Who do people say I am?".
We have been looking at what we are going to be looking at in Geography. We are going to be looking at the Amazon rainforest and we watched a trailer of the adventure journey we are going to be exploring over the next 6 weeks. We can't wait!
In Maths, we are starting to learn about long multiplication. We started recapping short multiplication and then moved onto the distributive method. Today, we are going to tackle our first long multiplication calculations!
In English, we started our journey on instructions. This time, we have to add loads more detail but we can still identify the basic structure of the instructions!
We are looking forward to a full week next week!
