Week 1

We’ve had a really busy and successful few days! We have been getting used to our new routines and have already started a number of our teaching units.
In maths we began our place value unit by learning about Roman numerals up to 1000.

In English, we have started our class book ‘The Man Who Walked Between the Towers’, a picture book written about French performer Philippe Petit who tightrope walked between the Twin Towers in 1974.

In Book Talk, we have a running theme of New York. We have read and talked about the first 3 chapters of ‘The Good Thieves’, a heist novel about a group of children who will do anything to right a wrong

In PSHE, we discussed our targets; challenges to achieving them and steps for how to achieve them.

In history this afternoon we started our work on crime and punishment, learning about the legacy the Romans left on our crime and punishment system today.

In PE, we tried out Parkour. A new exciting unit that the children really enjoyed. This will be our ‘rainy day’ unit alongside tag rugby and netball this half term.

Miss Beauchamp will be in year 5 every Monday & then myself for the rest of the week.

Enjoy your weekend!
