5th to 7th October
We have been busy preparing for our Harvest Festival presentation this week. The theme of our section was "Water" and we wrote new words to some well-known ABBA songs to sing as part of this. We practiced with the other Year 5 class on Monday, had a dress rehearsal yesterday (we loved dressing up in '70s style things) and did the performance today. It did go very well.
Our English work continues to be about writing good clear non-fiction paragraphs (our latest one was about the sources of rivers) but our maths has moved on to a short series of lessons about measurement. We have been measuring and drawing lines to the nearest millimetre and converting between different measures of length (e.g. km to m, m to cm, cm to mm and vice versa).
We have also done science and PE and started our new RE topic about the Sikh faith by thinking about uniforms and badges and why people wear these.
