Our last week of term was busy as usual, completing our poems based on Macbeth and playing with Haikus. The children loved the creativity of poetry and it has inspired many to create their own poems independently as well as read more poetry in class.

In science we completed our space topic by looking at the phases of the moon and how they are created each month. The children have been looking at the moon and completing a moon diary. One Year 5 pupil took his telescope out in the garden this week and viewed the ‘snow moon’ through the lens and took some pictures. What an incredible experience up close up!

In class, to end our science lesson, we created the moon phases with jaffa cakes. The children were very excited and inspired to eat the moon!!

Reminders:

No formal home learning set over half term but we have given the children some pointers for reading, times tables, spellings (which is stuck in their home learning journals) if they are bored! We also gave out the Egyptian topic creative tasks if the children were feeling inspired next week, before we start this topic in school after half term.

PE for all year 5 is on Wednesday 2nd March and Swimming for 5E on Thursday 3rd March.

World Book Day is on Thursday 3rd March – children are invited to dress up as their favourite book character.

Have a great half term week.

See you on Monday 28th February.

The Year 5 Team
