Roman buildings and lots more!

Year 5 have been very very busy this week!

In Numeracy we have been collecting data about each other, making graphs and presenting what we found out to each other.

In Literacy we wrote poems about making the world a better place. The poems we wrote were absolutely fantastic and are going to be entered into a competition - fingers crossed that some of our poems will get published.

We did some science experiments using an elastic band to move a tub. Each group investigated something different, had fun and learnt lots.

This afternoon we made models of the Roman buildings we designed. They are really good - keep checking this blog for photos of the finished products!

There was some great dancing from Year 5 at the disco last night and we won the Golden Boot this week.

Hope you have a fun, enjoyable and relaxing break. Fingers crossed for some nice weather!

Great Dancing Boys!!

The Romans

Sorry for not writing a blog for the last couple of weeks.

We have been very busy with our Roman topic. In literacy we have written leaflets persuading people to join Boudicca's army and fight the celts, they were excellent and I am sure they would persuade you all to join.

In numeracy we have been learning about fractions, decimals and percentages. We have been looking at equivalent fractions, decimals and percentages. Also we have looked at finding percentages of numbers and quantities.

In science this week we were observing washing powder tablets and comparing them. We discussed colour, smell, size and shape and which one we thought would dissolve quickest and then we tested them.
