Class 5 Blog
We have had yet another lovely week here in Class 5. We began the week by celebrating British Science Week with the children working with all other classes in KS2 to move around the school and complete 6 different exciting science experiments. Everyone had a wonderful time and learned a lot!
Towards the end of the week, however, things in Class 5 have turned a little more sombre as this week we have said goodbye to Miss Kewley, our AMAZING teaching assistant. Everyone in Class 5 will miss her but we all wish her the very best of luck in her new job, we know she will be fantastic.
Goodbye and good luck, Miss Kewley.
This week’s blog has been written by Alex H & Effie. We hope you have as much fun reading it as they did writing it.

This week in English we have been learning book called ‘The Great Kapok Tree’. It’s about 2 men who walk into the rainforest. One of the men is about to chop down a tree but he was so exhausted from his labours, he put down the axe and rested. As he slept, the animals who live in the tree pleaded to him not to destroy their home. We also used subjunctive form to create a Mother’s day message such as ‘If I were a flower, I would always bloom for you.
In maths we have been learning about shapes and nets of 3D shapes. On Thursday we did a review of shapes and 3D nets to consolidate all of our learning.
In grammar we leant about prefixes and suffixes. We added a suffix to each noun or adjective to make it into a verb. Then for prefixes, we added a prefix to the beginning of a word change its meaning.
Because it is British Science week on Monday and Tuesday we did lots of experiments. For example, some experiments were fingerprints, optical illusions, the magic of water and much more! It was really fun and everyone enjoyed it.
In PE we did cricket. We learnt many ways of batting the ball. Our first aim was to bat it to our partner to catch, our second aim was to bat it downwards to prevent us being caught out and finally to cut the ball to strike it very far away.
Finally, we would like to say a huge thank you and goodbye to our amazing teaching assistant, Miss Kewley. We will miss you very much.
