We have lots planned for this last half term in Gascoigne class across all our curriculum subjects, some of which we will give you an insight into below.
During the next two weeks our year 5 children will be learning how to perform translations and reflections in maths, followed by another delve into the world of time!!!!!
In literacy the children will continue to learn specific writing skills each lesson but our Big Writes are to be themed on our current topic of the Vikings. This will include a battle report, viking myth and a persuasive piece - I'm sure a Viking axe was very persuasive.
This brings me on to our 'visitors' in school yesterday - a small group of vikings who had travelled a great distance looking for some slaves. Unfortunately the chose not to take any of our children with them but they did educate us on many aspects of viking life such as clothing, food, hobbies and warfare. We have attached some pictures below from our presentation.
Finally, a reminder about the Trust sports day at John Charles Centre next week. The children have been working hard in PE, practicing playing dodgeball, handball and tag rugby, whilst also perfecting their baton passing skills. Please ensure permission slips are returned to school ASAP.
Many thanks,
Mr Riley
