Our Week This Week

In Year Five this week, we have been learning about area in maths. It has gotten harder and more challenging every day. Instead of regular shapes, we have been calculating the area of composite shapes. On some of the shapes, Year Five had to calculate the missing sides of the shape first.

For English, we have been learning about poetry. We have been finding out about different poetic devices and at the end of the week we wrote a modelled poem on the four seasons.

In art, we have been preparing to create a galaxy themed piece of art. We have been inspired by Emma Lindstrom’s art work. Throughout the week, we have been learning how to draw a sphere and different art techniques. The sphere was in black and white and went from dark to light depending on where the sun was shining from.

In P.E, we have been learning about health and fitness. We had a little slip to see what we were testing throughout the learning scheme. We calculated how fast we were at running a certain distance, how far we can jump and other P.E skills.

In music, 5EV been learning about jazz music and playing instruments. In both 5AC and 5MH we have been practising a song called Make You Feel My Love by Adele.
