Year 5
We began the week continuing to discover what it would have been like as a Victorian child. Year 5 had to compare the life of a Victorian child to a child of today. They discovered that in Victorian time's the children had to go to work unless they were from rich families who were able to attend school, today's generation have to go to school until they reach the age of 16.
They also analysed features of a diary entry, was it written in first person? Is it mainly in the past tense? Is the writing going to be informal or chatty? These were some of the features the children had to think about to put in their diary entry ready for next week.
Here are some of the descriptive words year 5 have discovered:
In maths this week we have been looking at doubling and halving.
In science the children have been discovering which foods are healthy and which are not. They had to produce a poster to highlight which we should be eating more of.
During P.E this week the children have been continuing to recap on the skills needed for netball. They also had the opportunity to shoot at the hoop, they seemed to really enjoy this.
Here are some pictures of year 5 in action:

They also continued to join in with zumba, they all showed such great enthusiasm and are really picking up the routines quickly. Here are some pictures of them taking part:
Don't forget next Friday it is Languages day and in year 5 we will be Greece. We are dressing up in the colours of the flag; blue and white.
We hope you have a lovely weekend from year 5
