We have had such a great second week of our second half term here in Class 5.
We started the week by presenting our story boards of ‘Odysseus and the Cyclops’ to the rest of the class and I was so impressed with how well the children could speak their stories! We then went on to writing our very own version of the Greek myth and I must say, I think it’s the best piece of written work so far this year! It has been such a pleasure to read them all.
In maths our focus this week has been prime numbers and composite numbers. We have really enjoyed learning about what makes a prime number and which numbers are prime. We finished the end of the week by looking at some division questions with remainders.
Our science experiments this week have been focussing on ‘air resistance’ we used umbrellas and large plastic boards to test whether there was more off less air resistance against our bodies when we ran with/without them. We then created some paper parachutes to test our theories about air resistance to see if we could slow down the rate at which our Lego men fell.
This week has also been anti-bullying week so we have spent a lot of time in class talking about bullying, creating anti-bullying posters and I even set the children a week-long kindness challenge to try and complete as many acts of kindness as possible. As a class, we have found that the kinder we are to others, the happier it makes us feel too!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, see you all next week for another great week of learning and fun.
Miss Eastwood
