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:

Hooke court

The children took part in a range of exciting and immersive activities, including exploring the trenches and going "over the top" as WWI soldiers, experiencing life in an Anderson shelter, taking part in code-breaking challenges, preparing WWII ration recipes, and celebrating with a VE Day party. Throughout the week, the children showed outstanding enthusiasm, resilience, and teamwork, fully embracing every activity and learning opportunity. Their behaviour was exemplary from start to finish, and they were a real credit to our school. I am incredibly proud of every single one of them for their positive attitude, excellent conduct, and willingness to challenge themselves.

Maths
This week, we have continued learning about numbers up to 1 million. The children have practised rounding numbers to the nearest 10, 100, 10,000 and 100,000. We have also revisited Roman numerals, helping to strengthen our understanding of different number systems and how they are used.

English
We have continued exploring our class text, Rose Blanche. The children have planned and begun writing a diary entry from Rose's perspective, imagining her thoughts and feelings on the day she discovered a concentration camp. We have focused on using emotive language and writing techniques to help bring the character's experiences to life.

Topic – Music
In Music, we have been learning about songs from World War I and World War II. We listened to a variety of songs from both periods, comparing their themes, styles and purposes. The children have also enjoyed practising and performing some of these songs, developing both their listening and singing skills.

PE
In PE, we have continued our football unit. This week, our focus was on passing the ball accurately and effectively. The children practised a range of passing techniques before applying their skills in mini matches, helping to improve teamwork, communication and game awareness.
