Year 5 3.5.19 Looking Back and Forth
Friday 3rd May 2019 – Looking Back & Forth in Year 5
Looking back:
The children have enjoyed a great week. They have enjoyed undertaking some work on different ancient Greek myths and produced some great writing. In Wider Opportunities they are busy learning music for the ‘Come and Play at the Halle’ concert in June. Please see below for more information about the concert and how to buy audience tickets.
Year 5 – Pupils’ Highlights:
- We enjoyed writing our own version of The Trojan Horse.
- We enjoyed practising our throwing skills in PE.
- We liked researching information about modern day Greece.
Family discussion questions:
Ask your children…
- What they learned about Greece.
- To tell you all about the Trojan Horse myth.
- About the music they are learning for ‘Come and Play at the Halle’.
Looking forward:
Next week we will be basing our writing on the exciting myth, ‘Theseus and the Minotaur'. Our maths work will be calculating number balances. In science, we will be learning all about pollination.
There will be an informal Year 5 class assembly on Thursday 23rd May at 9.30am, where the children will present some of the work they have done so far this year. Look out for text messages and a letter with further details.
