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 using the inverse operation to check and solve addition and subtraction calculations. We have also been applying our skills to a range of multi-step word problems, carefully identifying the information needed and choosing the correct operations to find the answers.

English
In English, we have started our Write for Pleasure unit. The children will be writing a diary of their choice, allowing them to be creative and develop their own ideas. This week, we have generated ideas, explored different diary concepts, and begun planning our writing.

Topic – DT
In DT, the children completed their World War II-inspired vegetable pasties. They followed their designs to make their pasties and then evaluated the finished products, considering their appearance, taste, texture, and how they could be improved in the future.

PE
In PE, we completed our final football lesson of the term. The children recapped all the key skills they have learned, including dribbling, passing, shooting, and teamwork, before taking part in a range of mini-games where they applied these skills in competitive situations.
