Year 5 7.6.19 Looking Back and Forth
Friday 7th June 2019 – Looking Back & Forth in Year 5
Looking back:
It’s great to be back and the children have had hard working week. They did really well exploring shape in maths. They also wrote some rap poems based on ‘Gran, can you rap?’ and they have really enjoyed performing what they produced; some children even performed theirs in Friday assembly!
Year 5 – Pupils’ Highlights:
- We enjoyed doing athletics in PE.
- We liked looking at ancient Greek evidence to see what we could learn about their way of life.
- We really enjoyed writing our raps.
Family discussion questions:
Ask your children…
- What they learned about the internal angles of a triangle.
- To tell you about their rapping poetry.
- To tell you what the three different types of mammals are.
Looking forward:
Next week, we will be moving on to look at percentages in maths. In science we will be looking at the life cycle of insects and amphibians. In our history work, we will be exploring the life of an ancient Greek hoplite.
