Dear Parents and Carers,
Much has happened this week in Year 5 and I will endeavour to give you a flavour of it.
In English, we have been using role play to make our written work on speech more realistic. Also, we have been wrapping our heads around how to explain just why our alkaseltzer rocket manages to leave the ground.
In computing, we have been using codes to send encrypted messages for each other to try and decode.
In DT, we are looking at musical instruments with the view to making our own versions. Of course, we had to practise using the real things, just to immerse ourselves in the task.
Who would have thought that 30 children randomly playing assorted instruments at the same time could sound so melodic and easy on the ear?
Judaism Week:
We were fortunate to have a visit from Ruth, a member of the Jewish community, who worked with the children to give them a greater understanding of Judaism. Year 5 learnt about Pesach and the significance of the meal at Passover. It involved eating and drinking some of the foods and looking at other Jewish artefacts.
Football
This week we played Colney Heath in a friendly football match. Although we didn’t quite manage to score as many goals as they did, I was very proud of my team’s positive spirit in the face of adversity.
Golden Mile
Has your child been asking to go to bed early lately? Perhaps it’s because they have been worn out jogging the daily ‘Golden Mile’.
Have a great weekend,
Mr Creaton
