Welcome to Year 5- Miss Harrison

PE days: Monday and Wednesday, please can children arrive to school in PE kits. 

Our value for the term is: Generosity

The timetables we are focusing on at the moment are: 7's and 8's

Our learning this week:

Maths
This week, we have been learning how to add and subtract 5-digit numbers. We have also been using rounding to estimate answers before calculating, helping us to decide whether our answers are reasonable.

English
In English, we have written a diary entry from Rose's perspective when she first discovered the concentration camp in Rose Blanche. The children worked hard to put themselves in Rose's shoes, exploring her thoughts, feelings, and emotions through their writing.

Topic – DT
In DT, we have begun designing and making vegetable pasties inspired by ingredients that were commonly available during World War II. This week, we tasted and evaluated a range of shop-bought vegetable pasties and practised key food preparation skills, including chopping ingredients and making pastry.

PE
In PE, we have continued developing our football skills. This week, the children focused on shooting techniques, practising accuracy and power before taking part in class matches where they applied their skills in game situations.
