Welcome to our Year 5 class page!
Term Five
Term Four
Weeks 5 and 6
We had lots of fun on Friday 1st April being visited by the police! We took part in lots of fun activities. We also took part in Well-being Ambassador training. The children all know what it takes to be an excellent well-being ambassador and they will be putting their learning into practice next term.
Weeks 3 and 4
Over the past two weeks, we visited the local Trinity Church for an Easter service. We also started our fiction writing unit of writing an alternative ending to a Maya folktale. In RSE, we learnt basic first aid and what to do in an emergency.
Weeks 1 and 2
What a start to Term 4! We had the BEST experience at the O2 to kick-start the term. The children were absolutely amazing singing their hearts out. We've also been busy cracking the Maya code for our hook lesson in English to introduce our new book- The Chocolate Tree. We also took part in a 'book tasting' as part of World Book Day to promote a love of reading.
Term Three
Weeks 5 and 6
We can’t quite believe how quickly this term has flown by! In week 6, we had so much fun taking part in all of the science week activities! Our favourite was the CSI themed afternoon where we had to figure out who had stolen the kettle from Forest School! Year 5 were tasked with identifying the hot drink that had been left out by the suspect.
Weeks 3 and 4
We’ve been fully immersing ourself in our class text over the past two weeks! It has been so gripping and the children can’t wait to find out what happens to Zoe! We have also been familiarising ourselves with Scratch for our coding lessons in computing.
Weeks 1 and 2
Over the past two weeks, we've been getting stuck into our new class text (Floodland) by doing lots of drama activities (hot seating, freeze frame and thought tracking). We've also written a setting description for 'Eels Cathedral'. In maths, we've been learning the formal written method for long multiplication and short division. We've also been learning the names of different fruits and vegetables in French.
Term Two
Weeks 5 and 6
Weeks 3 and 4
Over the past two weeks, we continued exploring different forces including pulleys, levers and gears. We also used drama to freeze frame and act out parts of the monster and hero tales we wrote.
Weeks 1 and 2
Over the past two weeks, we’ve had lots of fun exploring our new topics for the term! We’ve also had an amazing workshop on forces and magnets led by Mr Berry. We’ve done lots of freeze frames in English to explore our new book (Beowulf) and also taken part in National Numeracy Day!
Term One
Weeks 5 and 6
How are we already nearly at the end of our first term? This term has absolutely flown by. Over the past two weeks, the children have been conducting a science experiment linked to shadows and how these can show has that the earth is rotating. In maths, we have been using our multiplication knowledge to find factors and multiples. Kent Police also vides Year 5 to discuss online safety.
Weeks 3 and 4
We’ve fully immersed ourselves into our History workshop this week by learning about the Anglo Saxons and Vikings! We also discussed rules in RSE and created our own games with set rules. We then played these as a class.
Weeks 1 and 2
It’s been a fantastic start to Year 5! The children have blown us away with their enthusiasm to learn and questioning in the classroom. Over the past two weeks, the children have got their teeth stuck into our new science topic which is all about Earth and space. They’ve also been enjoying football and dance as part of our PE lessons.
