Welcome back, I hope you all had a restful half term. Year 5 have come back well, working hard in all areas of the curriciculm.
This week, in Maths, we have started our new topic on Area and Perimeter. We started off looking at the perimeter of rectangles, then the perimeter of rectilinear shapes and finally the perimeter of polygons.
In English, we started our new unit based on the book, 'The Nowhere Emporium,' We completed an experience day and four sentence stacking lessons - looking at modal verbs, alliteration, dialogue, time adverbials, similes, relative clause, parenthesis and repetition.
In Geography, we started our new unit on Mexico. Our first lesson looked at where is Mexico located. We used atlas' and a globe to locate the country and then used compass points and grid references to describe the location.
In History, we started our new unit on the Ancient Maya. We started off by looking at the History timeline and where the Maya sat on this, before looking at where they lived.
