Welcome back for the Summer term! Only this term to go until the children are in Year 6!
We have made a great start to this week though looking at angles in Maths. The children have found out the different types of angles, classified them and even practiced measuring them using protractors.
In English, we have made a start to our debate writing. We began by looking at a debate, which was trying to persuade the BBC to create a Match of the Day programme for women’s football. We picked this apart and discussed the persuasive language being used. This week, we have written a debate about whether children should have to wear school uniform. The children came up with some great ideas, whilst using rhetorical questions to address the reader and keep them hooked. Next week, we will be developing our debate writing skills and posing the question ‘Should animals be kept in zoos?’.
In the afternoons, we have started our new topic on Ancient Maya. We kicked off the week by looking at the continents North and South America and narrowing down in Central America where the Mayans lived.
Our Golden Certificate this week is Karla! She made a fantastic effort to find the Mayan cities and locate these on her map in Geography and History. Well Done Karla!
Have a great weekend
