Welcome to Year 5 and Team Sapphire

Your teacher is Ms Ellis

Your teaching assistants are Mrs Stretton and Mrs Rogers

 

A warm welcome back to everyone for the Summer term! What a busy first week back we’ve had. In Maths this week, we learnt how to use bar model diagrams to represent and solve problems. We also learnt how to solve scaling problems. In English this week, we started our new unit about traditional stories from another culture. We looked at the features of traditional tales and looked at how the author uses details to develop characterisation.

 

In Science this week, we started our new unit about Space and Earth and we named all the planets in our solar system and discussed how they stay in their orbit around the sun. In Geography, we started the unit Enchanting Earth and learnt what biomes and climate zones are and where they are in the world. In RE, we found out what it means to be an authority figure and the important roles they have in our community. In PSHE, we were lucky to be visited by the police, who talked to us about antisocial behaviour and the importance of being kind and respectful to everyone.

 

Next week in Maths, we will learn how to draw scale drawings, we will revise converting between different metric measurements and convert between imperial units too. In English, we will plan and write our own traditional story set in a different culture, focusing on using descriptive vocabulary and develop characterisation to entertain the reader.

 

Have a great weekend!

 

 

PE days for Sapphire for Summer 1 are Monday and Wednesday.

We also matched to fractions to their equivalent measure in money or length.
