Year 5 have had a very productive week – well done Year 5!

In English Year 5 have been continuing to read the class novel, ‘Varjak Paw’ by SF Said. They have also been practising writing narrative, using direct speech.

 In Maths Year 5 have been continuing to learn divisibility rules for large numbers, identifying factors and prime numbers and have now moved on to using the grid method. Everyone has done really well with this.

In RE this week, Year 5 have been investigating the meaning of Matthews’ recount of Jesus in the Wilderness. They have explored the temptations Jesus faced and why, and then gone on to create role plays in groups, acting out the temptations that they face and how to react to them.

In Art, the class have  continued to practise their sketching skills this week, focussing on cityscapes and perspective.

The whole class enjoyed using CANVA again in computing this week and creating presentations on the meaning of Lent.  

Well done Year 5 on another great week of learning!
