Perfect Penguins- Summer 1 Week 1

Date: 25th Apr 2025 @ 8:08am

Welcome back Year 5, I hope you had an amazing holidays and time with friends and family!

English
This term, we our learning to write a myth to entertain our reading buddies. On Wednesday, we looked at what features we needed to include in a Myth, looking at figurative language in more detail on Thursday. On Friday, we began to look at direct speech, to move the action along in our Myths.

Maths
This week in Maths, we have been recapping our addition and subtraction skills. On Wednesday, we pushed our knowledge of column addition by looking at how to add three numbers together. On Thursday, we did the same with column subtraction. At the end of the week, we put our learning together and looked at how to solve multi-step problems.

Other Subjects
On our first day back we had an absolutely amazing day celebrating Ancient Greek day! It was amazing to see everyone’s ancient Greek costumes  and the effort everyone had put in. Firstly, we spent some time creating our own Laurel Wreaths, using paper plate and paper leaves. Next, we learned all about the Greek alphabet and wrote our names in Greek on our own bookmarks. In the afternoon, we learned about famous Greek mathematicians and solved a maths mystery! After this, we were challenged to channel Ancient Greek architects and build our own bridges out of paper. The winning bridge held 900g and the team won a prize! At the end of the day, we read a Greek myth.
