Cherry Class Blog 2024 25 Term 5 Week 1

Welcome parents to our first blog of the summer term! Unbelievably, we are already 2/3 of the way through the academic year and this short term is particularly important, as our Year 6's have their SAT's tests in a few weeks time.

In Literacy this term we are looking at non-fiction texts and linking this to Ancient Greek myths. This is a great topic to do in my opinion, as we will look at characters such as Zeus, Odysseus, Medusa and Cyclops! The children had the opportunity this week to create their own modern Greek god and to write a story about them. 

In Numeracy both year groups investigated angles and Year 5 had the chance to use protractors for the first time and to use them to measure actual angles, having estimated the size of the angle first. 

History this term looks at the Vikings and in our opening lessons we looked at how the Vikings actually were and ordered significant events and dates into an accurate time line.

In Science we continued with our 'Space' theme and we looked at night and day and how the Sun affects both.

In PSHE we investigated pressure groups, in particular 'Keep Britain Tidy' and in RE we investigated the concept of 'commitment' and how certain religions show their commitment to their faith.

Have a great weekend everyone

Mr Ramsden & Miss Harris
