Week beginning 3rd March
(Year 5 Blog)
In Science, we have been learning about human life cycles. We started at the beginning, looking at the growth of a baby in the womb. We were fascinated that we started off at the size of a poppy seed, and then finished off at the size of a pumpkin! Obviously we are much bigger now!
This week was WORLD BOOK DAY! We had the theme of cow, hippo, turtle, yearning, melancholy and tranquillity. We made a poster about what we yearn for (with a link to Catholic Social Teaching) and we wrote a poem about tranquillity. There were so many fun things throughout the day and it really helped us re-ignite our love of books and reading.
In Maths, we have been looking at percentages. We know that percent means out of 100 and today we were converting between fractions and percentages. For almost 5 days in a row, ALL of us have got onto the deepen its!
Next week is British Science week, so we have got A LOT to enjoy! We can't wait to tell you!
See you next week!
Week beginning 24th February

Welcome back to another term!
Spring 2 is by far my favourite term as we have got British Science week, World Book day and Easter preparations. The children have come back with such maturity; they really have excelled themselves this week! Their enthusiasm for learning is wonderful to see and this term's topic has certainly sparked much excitement!
We are going to be looking at our local area- the History of Dursley. Before this topic, I didn't realise quite the significance of Dursley throughout history and I cannot WAIT to show the children the hidden secrets that Dursley has to offer!
A trip letter will be coming out soon, so keep a look out for that :)
As ever, Year 5 have been busy with their learning as you can see in the pictures. Their determination to be the best they can be is really evident and I am very excited to see what this term has in store for us!
Year 5 are looking forward to updating you on all their excitement next week! There will be so much they will want to tell you!
