In a week that has had all sorts of weather; we have had all
sorts of learning going on in Class 5 too!
In theme we began our topic of Crime and Punishment! We
started with the task of ordering the different time periods in British
History, which led to lots of interesting discussions where we managed to clear
up a lot of misconceptions!
We then had a chance to work in our groups and create our
own ‘Roman Crimestoppers’ recreations of some of the crimes and punishments we
had discovered, and very much enjoyed wrapping ourselves up in sheets for added
authenticity.
In maths we have continued our work on numbers with a focus
on comparing, ordering and most importantly rounding! Most of us felt very
confident by Friday that we were able to round decimals to different decimal
places.
In science on Wednesday, we blocked out the glorious sun so
year 6 could conduct experiments about how to change the size of a shadow
depending on the distance of the light source. Many of us were able to suggest
ways of making our test fair and more accurate.
In literacy this week we have been looking at descriptive
devices to help us with describing our criminal masterminds. We explored the
role of similes, thought about how to show emotions instead of telling them and
explored how we could write these sentences with a variety of sentence
starters. At the end of the week, some of our brave year 6s did a small
presentation to Mrs Sibley explaining why they would make good House Captains.
Results for said presentations will be announced soon!
Our first homework was given out this week. Pupils have 2
pages of their CGP Maths books to complete, based on place value of large
numbers and rounding decimal numbers. Their spelling homework this week is to
decorate their class spellings poster for this half term. Homework will be due
on Friday 23rd September.
Next week: Get your vocal chords ready for iSing Pop week!
