Welcome to Year 5!

Our value for this term is: service.

Our learning this week (week ending 8/5/26):

Reading: We are continuing to read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and have reached the part of the story where the five children visit the factory.

Writing: In writing, we have spent the week writing our own sequels to the story of Rain Player. There have been some very creative ideas about what may have happened next to Pik and his people including corn turning to stone, floods and never ending storms.

Maths: In maths, we have continued to learn about angles, focusing on angles around a point and angles on a straight line.

Science: This week, we learnt about reflection and how light reflects off objects causing it to change direction. We built mazes out of duplo and used mirrors to reflect the light from a torch around the corners to the centre of the maze.

Music: We created our own Maya-inspired compositions in music this week using the recorder and percussion instruments.

PE Lessons:

Our PE lessons continue to take place on a Tuesday afternoon and Thursday morning. This term we are focusing on athletics.
