Welcome to Year 5!

Our value for this term is: justice

Our learning this week:

Reading: This week in our guided reading lessons, we have been focusing on a non-fiction text about coastlines and tides. We have been practising retrieving information from the text and understanding the author's reason for choosing specific words or phrases.

Writing: In writing, we have been studying pages from The Ways of the Wolf in preparation for writing our first person narration next week. We also analysed an example text (WAGOLL) and highlighted the features such as the pronouns, conjunctions, fronted adverbials, present perfect tense, modal verbs and technical vocabulary which we will need to include in our writing.

Maths: In maths, we have been learning about decimals. We have learnt about tenths, hundreds and thousands and practised ordering and comparing them. Next week, we will be looking at percentages.

Science: Our science lesson this week looked at the moon, including how it moves relative to the Earth and how this affects how much of the moon we can see from the Earth.

Art: This week, we sculpted our clay wolves using an armature and practising techniques such as scoring, using slip and creating texture.
