Year 5 - Summer 2 - Week 1
Date: 10th Jun 2022 @ 3:00pm
Here we are…the FINAL half term of Year 5! Time certainly has flown by up to this point but we are not taking anything for granted as there is still so much learning left and plenty more memories to be made. For now, here are some highlights from this week…
In Maths, we have been measuring our capacity and volume skills through various lessons involving converting between litres and millilitres. We finished the week with a particularly fun capacity problem solving lesson. This linked to George’s Marvellous Medicine and included an array of colourful medicines that were mixed and concocted according to our skills of measuring accurately and reading instructions. Next week’s Maths will involve reading timetables and being able to tell the time to the nearest five minutes.
As we began our new monthly value of Truthfulness for the month of June, our first lesson linked to how in fact we can be true to ourselves. Through a circle time discussion and game, we explored our own different qualities and how we perceive ourselves. Each person then paired up with a partner and outlined each other’s qualities to see how well they matched. After much discussion, we hope that each Year 5 left the room that little bit taller with boosted self-esteem.
The children are also now underway with their brass instrument lessons with Mr Fogg from Sefton Music Service. These lessons will continue for the remainder of this half term before the children continue their learning into Year 6.
A brilliant week and wishing you all a fantastic weekend. See you all on Monday!
