Summer 2
Week Beginning Monday 9th June 2025
This week was so busy we hardly had time to take any pictures! In English, we finished writing our non-chronological reports on an aspect of life in the Amazon Rainforest and illustrated them ourselves. In maths, we have spent lots of times working on describing and translating coordinates and shapes on grids. In history, we researched notable women from Ancient Greece in preparation for writing profiles on them, and, on top of all of that, we went on a school trip to the British Museum to participate in an augmented reality tour of the Parthenon. It was a fantastic day and could not have been manged without our wonderful parent helpers. What a busy week!
Week beginning Monday 2nd June 2025
The first week back was a busy one for Year 5. The children started a new book in English and began preparing to write an independent non-chronological report about the Amazon Rainforest. The began a new maths topic on Position and Direction, flying through coordinate plotting and description. In science, the children investigated the thermal insulation and conduction of different materials, and in history, they learned about the social hierarchy in the ancient Greek city state of Athens. In PE, the children played cricket with Mr Campbell, focusing on batting skills. It has been a busy week with lots of new learning. Well done Year 5!
