Year 5 - Summer 2 - Week 1
Date: 7th Jun 2024 @ 10:12am
We can’t believe it is here already…the FINAL half term of Year 5! Time certainly has raced by up to this point but we are not taking anything for granted as there is still so much left to achieve and plenty more memories to be made. For now, here are some highlights from our week…
In our Collective Worship work, our June monthly value focus is ‘Truthfulness’. In a particular session, we have focused on being true to ourselves by focusing upon our strengths and our uniqueness as individuals. A particular activity involved us “snowballing” each other’s names before each child gave a compliment to the person whose name they retrieved. A lovely activity that brought many a smile!
In Maths, we have focused on telling the time. This has involved reading both analogue and digital clocks to the nearest minute and converting between the two. We then extended our learning to the 24-hour clock clock. A particularly fun (and competitive) Maths lesson was our ‘Battle of the Bands’ Times Tables Rockstars lesson! Our class were split into two teams (The Rockers and The Rollers). Each team had to answer as many questions as they could (as accurately as they could) to contribute to their team’s overall final score. A close battle throughout but well done to The Rollers on your victory!
In English, we have been reading ‘The Hunter’ by Paul Geraghty, which is the story of a little girl called Jamina who goes out into the African bush with her grandfather. Her dream is to be a hunter when she is older but, when she is separated from her grandfather, she finds a baby elephant whimpering besides its dead mother. As Jamina bravely helps the little orphaned elephant, we are eager to find out where this journey takes her.
Thank you to Team TSP and all helpers for a fantastic ‘Rainbow Day’ on Friday. We had a great time on the obstacle course, inflatables and there was no better ending than a D-I-S-C-O!
A brilliant week and wishing you all a fantastic weekend. See you all on Monday!
