Another successfull week!
In English we have begun our build-up writing for a recount of The Snowman using literary devices such as Similies, Subordinate clauses and alliteration. The magic of the story is truly being captured in their sentences.
Mathematics sees us progress into the world of fractions, looking at equivalent fractions through fraction strips, as well a the formal method.
Our topic covered air resistance and the reasons why parachutes actually work. We shall'n't be testing our theories with the children just to reassure.
Design and Technology has been the predominant focus of the week with our stuffed toys taking centre stage. Blanket stitches and applique galore, we are racing towards a completed toy.
We also finally managed to squeeze a successful hockey PE in this Friday, having been thwarted by the weather the previous 2 weeks. I (Mr. Ryan) am very impressed with the skills the children from both classes, have. I can see some budding hockey players!
We hope you have a fantastic weekend!
The Year 5 Team.
