We began the week with Sports Day - what a fantastic time we had! The children worked collaboratively and did an excellent job of supporting others. Congratulations to Birch, our winning house. On Wednesday, we had a 'Bake Off' day to celebrate earning 5000 dojos points! The children worked in groups to design a chocolate cake which they presented in the afternoon. They were also tasked with a technical challenge - cheese scones. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Congratulations to our winners - Alfie, Jesse and Harry! In Maths, we concluded our work on decimals by exploring decimal sequences and multiplying and dividing numbers by 10, 100 and 1000. In English this week, we wrote, edited and presented our own poetry about animals. Sadly, we said goodbye to Miss Ritchie on Thursday, who has been volunteering with us for over a year. Thank you for all your hard work - you will be greatly missed!
Our English work this week has continued to focus on balanced arguments with the children writing a balanced argument for the question 'Have books become obsolete?'. In Maths we have finally finished our unit on fractions, decimals and percentages. The children have grasped the relationship between these and produced some aspirational and collaborative work on their equivalences. Following our outdoor exploration lesson on Thursday, we are looking forward to some work based on the geometry of shapes next term. We have had some Easter fun this week with egg and spoon races and various Easter crafts. We hope you all have a wonderful holiday and come back ready to work hard for the final term in Year 5. As part of our English work next term we will be making story pebbles in the first week back. Please can you help your child to find 2 large and flat-ish pebbles that a small picture can be painted on, we need the children to bring these in on the first day back...
