Class 5 blog Week 2

Week 2 of Class 5’s blog.

Well done everyone on writing your first blogs! A new experience for us all.

This week we will be studying the following:

Literacy - Poetry in various forms. Your rhyming poetry was terrific last week, most of you were stunned at how you created poetry that could definitely be published. We are moving on to shape poetry and beyond now.                        

Maths – We are studying Ancient Egyptian calculation methods that involved doubling this week, learning how doubling large numbers help us with multiplication.

Science – We will be studying food chains and classification keys.

Homework this week:

English

Well done on your blogs last week, I did enjoy reading your descriptions. This week I would like you to write a shape poem about a member of your family (human or pet). It needs to rhyme. Use a fresh piece of A4 paper and use colour where appropriate.

Maths

Your maths this week is to explain to an adult at home how the Ancient Egyptians would have calculated 5 x 24 in hieroglyphics. Do it in your A4 homework book.

If you have lines to learn, please try hard to learn them for Monday. Time is running out!
