This week the children have been developing their understanding of: properties of triangles and calculating missing angles of shapes. In English, the children have been revisiting skills in preparation for writing a descriptive piece of work about the Zanzibar’s shipwreck. Some of these skills include: using the five senses (taste, touch, smell, hear and feel); different sentence types (subordinating conjunctions, relative clauses, conjunctive adverb, parenthesis etc.); expanded noun phrases; and figurative language (similes, metaphors, alliteration etc.).
For homework the children have been told to write a bank of sentences, which they can include in their final descriptive writing piece of work (due Monday 8th May). Also, children have been allocated a My Maths activity and need to complete another section from the homework pyramid (due by next Friday – 12th May). Children are more than welcome to bring their homework in early if they have completed it.
This week Mathew Evans (5E) received the golden leaf award for ‘being committed to always doing his best in everything he does’ and Aimee Tindal (5E) has her writing displayed on the showstopper writing wall. Hannah Oliver (5F) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave her to always be cheerful and kind’. Jeffrey Mamman Mathew (5F) has his work on the showstopper writing wall too.
Just a reminder that the History competition has now been extended and all entries must be brought into school before half term (26th May is the last school day).
Have a brilliant weekend,
The Year 5 team
