Creating Magical Memories!
Although this was a shorter half term, it’s certainly been packed with exciting opportunities, creativity and memorable experiences in Year 5!
In English, we were inspired by The Brilliant Deep by Kate Messner and Coral Reefs by Jason Chin. Using what we learned, the children produced persuasive information leaflets all about coral reefs and how we can help protect these incredible underwater habitats.
In Maths, we focused on angles—learning how to measure and draw them accurately with protractors, and how to calculate missing angles. We also explored reflection and translation, including plotting shapes on coordinate grids with growing confidence.
Our D&T unit centred on healthy eating and the importance of wellbeing. The children researched a variety of salad recipes, taste-tested different ingredients, and worked in groups to plan, prepare and enjoy their own delicious salads.
The highlight of the half term was our unforgettable residential trip to London! From exploring the Natural History Museum to watching the fantastic West-End production of Matilda, and stepping into the magical world of Harry Potter at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour, it was a truly special experience.
