Archaeologists believe it to be Pharaoh Roche!!!

The children continued their Egyptian topic this week by looking at mummification. They were fascinated at how the body was prepared for burial and how the organs were removed and placed in canopic jars… the more gruesome the better.

This week saw the children complete their report on their chosen extreme sport. We were so pleased to see the detail and effort the children included and the sense of pride they took in their writing and presentation. We begun a new unit in English this week based on an character image and more will be revealed over the next week.  In Maths we begun our measures unit focusing on converting measure in capacity and length, using our place value knowledge, and then applying this fluency to problem solving.

Next week we start our country topic of India in Geography with a Diya painting and Indian dance day on Thursday.

Reminders

PE is on Wednesday 19th May.

Homework is due on Thursday 20th May as usual.  A book review is due this week too.

A poem called Peer Pressure was given to each child last week, please encourage your child to continue to practise to learn off by heart by the end of the term. We will be doing this performance as a class.

Have a lovely weekend,

The Year 5 Team
