Polar Bears

Hola Amigos! Thank you to everyone who came to our Year 5 assembly! We have thoroughly enjoyed our learning during our topic 'Hola Mexico' and we hope you liked hearing about it. In English, we have continued to work on our myths, thinking carefully about the problems our main characters will face and how they will solve them. We have been very reflective when editing our work too. At the start of the week, we had a taster karate lesson. Look at our previous blog post for videos of this! As mathematicians, we have been focusing on multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000. We mastered this quickly - many of us completing more than one challenge each lesson! In Science, we have begun investigating the irreversible reaction between cola and mentos. We noticed that the reaction was quite as large as we expected with a small quantity. We couldn't resist using the whole bottle outside! As you can see, Miss Argyle got a bit wet! We used what we ha

On Monday morning, we were delighted to participate in a karate taster. Here are some of our favourite moves!

What a wonderful week of learning we have had! In English, we have been consolidating the features of a myth and have used these to plan our own myths. We created intricate story maps which have helped us to start our introductions. Watch this space! As mathematicians, we have been looking at different types of numbers: square numbers, cube numbers and prime numbers. We have enjoyed discovering these, learning their properties and applying their new knowledge to solve reasoning problems. Eager to begin preparations, we have started to practise Christmas carols this week to get ourselves ready for our concert on the last day of term. You may catch us humming delightful tunes! We have also begun rehearsing our year group assembly - we have demonstrated a mature, professional attitude in these sessions.

Thank you to everyone who came to our reading cafe last week. We enjoyed listening to 'Fantastic Beasts' and creating our own hybrid creatures.
