This half term has absolutely flown, I can’t believe it has been 7 weeks already! Not only that, but we only have one half term left and then my wonderful Year 5’s will be moving on to become amazing Year 6’s!
It has been such a fun half term this time around and the class have thoroughly enjoyed our topic, ‘Our World’. We have learned about natural resources, renewable and non-renewable energy, global warming and more! I have been so impressed with how engaged all of the class have been throughout all of our topic lessons and especially with how well they have understood the topic too.
Throughout science this half term we have taken part in various science experiments looking at properties of materials from mixtures to solutions. We learned how to reverse changes of materials, sperate materials and recapped our knowledge of solids, liquids and gasses and their particles from Year 4.
This week we have been rounding up our topic work by creative sustainable phone cases by designing and sewing them out of felt! I have been unbelievable blown away with everyone’s phone cases, their amazing design skills and their sewing skills – and I don’t think I’ve ever threaded to many needles in my life!
We also waved off 8 of our class members this week who went over to Huddersfield University on Wednesday to record a video for a Mandarin competition they are entering as part of our MFL lessons – they were fantastically behaved and the songs they were recording sounded phenomenal – good luck to them in the competition!
Finally, in our English work this week we have been completed formal, persuasive texts to try and convince the world to switch to clean energy and in Maths this week we have been practicing rounding numbers to estimate our answers before moving on to some multi-step problem questions which the children tackled with such gusto!
Thank you, Class 5, for another awesome half term – you have kept me laughing and smiling each and every day.
I hope you all have an amazing half term break!
Miss Eastwood
