This week, the children have really enjoyed our book ‘The Jamie Drake Equation’ and have used this to write character descriptions on an alien of their choice. They have worked extremely hard to ensure they include fronted adverbials, powerful adjectives and parenthesis to make their writing interesting.
In Maths this week, the children have mastered rounding decimals to the nearest whole number, ready to progress onto next week, where we will look at more rounding and understanding percentages.
This afternoon has been a great opportunity for the children to practice their pastel blending skills through the style of the famous artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. His work is very abstract and includes many patterns, which the children have used to inspire them to create their skulls today. Please see photograph below:
Our Golden Certificate Winner this week is Theo for his amazing work in Maths! Well Done!
Please remember it is World Book Day next Thursday. Year 5 do have PE in the afternoon, so please make sure costumes/footwear are appropriate.
Have a great weekend!
