Year 5 News

We have had a fantastic start to the new half term and have settled right back into school life. In English we are continuing our unit of work based on the book 'Hidden Figures'. We look forward to writing a newspaper report about this next week. While looking at the book we have had some really nice discussions about our British Values and Protected Characteristics. In our maths lessons, we have been looking at multiples, factors and prime numbers. This is a tricky topic but we have all been working really hard in our lessons.

Our new topic this half term is 'The Indus Valley Civilisation'. How exciting! We can't wait to delve into the past and use our skills as historians to find out about this marvelous civilisation. We have also started a new topic in science. This half term we are looking at forces. This week we investigated the different types of forces and the effects they have on objects. We also conducted our first experiment for this topic. We collected objects around the classroom and measured their mass in g/kg and their weight in newtons.

Have a lovely weekend! 🙂 h
