I can’t believe how quickly Friday has come around again this week, I think the weeks are flying by so quickly because we are having so much fun in Class 5!
This week, in English, we have been working on PowerPoint presentations to persuade people to switch to green energy, as part of out topic work ‘Our World’.
The children spent time researching the benefits of green energy and the dangers of fossil fuels before putting al of their amazing information into a PowerPoint presentation. On Wednesday, they presented these to the class, and I was so impressed with everyone’s efforts, they were a joy to watch!
In Maths, we started the week by taking another look at place value. We then progressed onto some tricker, reasoning style questions before I gave the children a very tricky maths riddle! I have put a copy of the riddle below for any parents that would like to try and work it out. I was so impressed with how the class worked systematically to try and obtain the correct answer!
We have also been conducting various science experiments this week too, from the irreversible change of lighting a candle, to conducting a scientific enquiry into plastic, we have really been busy!
We also had a very interesting and informative PSHE lesson, looking at different substances and how they can be harmful. I was very impressed with the sensible attitude and maturity that the children showed during this lesson.
Of course, we also squeezed in some fantastic PE lessons too. Tennis and Gymnastics and I must say, I was extremely impressed with the gymnastics performances this week. The children worked in groups to create symmetrical and asymmetrical routines using various pieces of gymnastic equipment. They worked so well and the routines were fantastic!
Well done for another wonderful week, Year 5!
Enjoy your weekend, everyone!
