Y5/6 have been very busy enjoying their learning this term.
In English we have just completed writing our opener to our suspense story and the children have come up with some fantastic ideas. We definitely have some budding Agatha Christies.
In Maths, Y6 have been keeping their Mathematical brains busy with working on a range of problem solving and investigations to consolidate their skills. They have particularly enjoyed the escape room challenges. Y5 have been working hard with using decimal numbers.
In History, we have been continuing to learn about the Mayan civilisation and we have had great fun finding out how their number and writing systems work. We have established they were very clever people, and their ways have definitely got us thinking.
In Science, we have continued to monitor how our potatoes, strawberries and onions are growing, as well as finding out classifying living things. The children have enjoyed researching the different classes and species.
Over the last few weeks, the children have had and will have the opportunity to take part in paddle boarding, those who have been so far have thoroughly enjoyed it and the weather has been in our favour.
We have also been w
Year 5/6 have had an incredibly busy Spring term!
In our Geography units since January, the children have learnt all about mountains. This has involved locating mountains on maps, understanding the features of mountains and how they are formed, they also completed an in depth study of Mount Everest. The children's learning then focused on Barcelona. Through this unit, they have learnt about where Barcelona is located, the physical and human of Barcelona and drawn comparisons to London which they studied in Year 3&4. To help their Geography learning come to life, the children have recently visited Everdon Outdoor Learning Centre. Through the day, the children developed their compass skills and showed excellent teamwork when competing in orienteering activities.
During our World Book Day activities, some children decided to recreate characters out of plasticine. I think you will agree - they are fantastic! Other children decided to show their creative side by making a character into a puppet. I was very impressed with their sewing skills 🙂
