Time flies....to space!

Where has the term gone? We have been engaged in so much learning that we can't quite believe here are only two weeks until half term.

The class have been developing their writing skills further with grammar focus on sentence types and including relative clauses in their writing to give more information about a noun. This, alongside all of our research about astronauts, has led to teh children drafting and editing engaging reports all about Astronaut Training! They are oracles of knowledge now.

Our maths learning has seen us recap addition and subtraction with ever growing digts. We have used the inverse to check our answers and enjoyed solving missing number problems for both addition and subtraction!

In the wider curriculum, we are still enjoying learning about the history of pizza and how dough is made in Design & Technology as well as learning aboy ancient Civilisations in History. During PE, our movement and working in unison has developed when creating a Haka of our own and our basketball skills are being testing in mini matches.

Two weeks of jam-packed learning to come - including a trip to Pizza Express next week! :)

What a start!

The children have enjoyed their first two week's in Rowan class and have settled really well with routines and expectations of being in Year 5.

We have spent time learning how to use a growth mindset in maths (and in everything we do) and have taken a leap into space through our fun-packed class book 'Cosmic' as well as learning all about the persoanl characteristics and skills required to be an astronaut in Writing. This has led the children to an exciting role-play as interviewers and interviewees hiring the next astronauts fof teh European Space Agency! See the pictures below!

As well as this, we have already started looking at ancient civilisations in History, Fossils in Science and have been working on dribbling and shooting skills in basketball lessons amongst so much more!

Welcome back! 

Welcome to Year 5 - Rowan Class! We hope that the children have had a restful and enjoyable summer and are ready to learn. Year 5 is a big step up and provides children with new and exciting learning opportunities. I am confident they will rise to the challenge and continue building on previous learning as we progress throughout the year.

We understand the importance of working alongside everyone at home in order to support children throughout their journey at Rucstall Primary School. 

We look forward to the busy and exciting first half-term!

Mr White and Mrs Sayer
