Year 5 ML
Our new topic is the Ancient Greeks!
We are especially looking at our question : Who had the stronger community...Spartans or Athenians?
Throughout this term we will be looking at the communities in detail, thinking about their differences and similarities.
We had a visit from Technology Tom! We created our very own coal colliery, with working mechanisms!
Towards the end of the term, for Art's Week, we looked at the poem the Highway Man.
We created horse puppets to match the poem!
This term we were lucky enough to visit Beamish!
The children had so much fun, exploring a pit town!
In September, we started to read Street Child! The children were so interested in Jim's life and how different his life was to our lives now!
We concentrated on description of characters in English, as well as "show don't tell" feelings, which we used to express and indicate emotion, without telling the reader how the character feels.
A lot of our class this term have finished our reading scheme! Which means they are a free reader!
Miss Lewis has been so impressed with how we have settled into year five!

This term we have been concentrating on a recent BBC report, which reveals the recent ruins found under the Guatamalan jungle! Year five will be discovering who might have lived there, using sources to delve into the deepest, darkest jungle to discover who might of lived there!
A wonderful example of a beast creation in English!
Useful for Christmas! A list of fantastic texts that are vocabulary rich, for the children to read!
In Art- last term we were lucky enough to have a parent helper to help us create and design William Morris inspired ties!
In English- using our bodies to show our feelings! (A bit like charades!)
Y5ML Maths are using resources to help them understand cubed and prime numbers!
