Weekly update: Friday 16th May 2025

This week…

In Maths, we started the week by looking at the area of compound shapes, before moving on to estimating area. The questions posed some interesting conversations, as for some shapes like islands and symbols, we had to look carefully at the smaller parts that take up part of a square. We then did the End of Unit quiz. For the rest of the week, we started the new unit of Statistics. The class learnt all about drawing, reading and interpreting line graphs.

For English this week, we have continued to focus on persuasive forms of writing. We started on Monday to look at features of speeches and saw the similarity between written adverts and speeches. We watched a famous Tedtalk about a child asking for more break time! The class found features such as repetition, rhetorical questions and imperative verbs. The rest of the week, we looked at fronted adverbials in persuasion and then started to plan the Enterprise week advertising!

The sound of this week was /ee/ as in mischievous and conceive.

In other areas of learning:

• We had two PSHE lessons this week. The first one looked at cyber-bullying and internet safety. We watched three videos based on what could happen online, with people commenting and posting on private or public platforms. In the second lesson, we had some scenarios (paracetamol, abandoned liquid bottle in a park etc.) and had to decide how to deal with them.
• For Science we ended out unit of Animals and Living things, by doing a mini quiz and the Hot Task.
• In RE, we looked closely at the remaining Five Pillars in Islam and learnt in detail about Hajj – the pilgrimage to Mecca and discussed why this is an important part of Islam.
• On Monday, the class had a whole afternoon of Cricket with Gary and really enjoyed it. In Athletics this week, the class did the bleep test after a yoga warm up and cool down.
• Across the week, we have also started to plan and work on our Enterprise ideas. You will find out more information about this in the school newsletter.

Have a good weekend,

Mrs Leach
