Year 5
This week in Year 5, children have started their first history lesson of the year. We began by recapping key learning from Year 4, and looking at Anglo Saxon Britain before any attempted Viking invasion. In science, with great enthusiasm, the children commenced their new unit on forces. We discussed the significance of Isaac Newton and created our own (slightly wild) experiment to prove the existence of gravity.
The children are thoroughly enjoying our book, ‘Holes’. We have reached a dramatic part (Mr Sir’s venomous scratch) and everyone is hooked. In English, we are finalising our work on Hidden Figures with a ‘PEE’ structured letter from the perspective of ‘shero’, Katherine Johnson.
