A nice first week back in Year 5. Even though we were only in for four days, we still managed to fit in lots of learning! In Maths, we started our new unit on Statistics. We started off by drawing line graphs before moving on to reading and interpreting line graphs. Next, we read and interpreted tables followed by two-way tables.
In English, we continued our work on our Biography of David Attenborough. We completd two sentence stacking lessons. The first was based on facts about David, using -ify verbs, similes and onomatopoeia. In the second, we looked at the later part of his life journey - using dashes for parenthesis, -ly adverbs and complex sentence.
In History, we started our new unit on the Ancient Maya. We answered the question, where and when did the Maya live - looking at where they fit on the timeline and the area they lived in, including the modern countries that they are now called.
In Art, we looked at if recognisable features of an art piece are created for the movement or the viewer.
We also completed some PSHE, looking at resposible and respectful behaviours online. We also looked at our digital footprint and the use of apps on mobile phones. We discussed the age restrictions on these and why they are there.
