Year 5 – 30/09/22

We have done lots of art this week; this afternoon, the children represented the first Creation story through art, whilst yesterday they practised different kinds of mark making.

Also this week:

• In English, we started our new unit about being world explorers and surviving in extreme places on earth. This will lead to writing an explanation text later in the half term.
• In Maths, we have been learning how to round to numbers within 1,000,000.
• In Science, we were plotting graphs to look at whether there’s a correlation between the mass of an animal and its gestation period.
• In RE, we learnt about the work of St Vincent de Paul and answered the Big Question ‘How can you be a friend to a God you can see if you’re not a friend to those you can see’.
• In Geography, they learnt about the physical and human geography of Hiemaey in Iceland, and learnt what an archipelago is.

Please note that for the next two weeks on Monday, the children will be learning about puberty and how girls’ and boys’ bodies change. If you wish to explore the lesson resources more fully, please see TenTen’s Parent Portal, including suggested home activities to support learning:
