I have really enjoyed reading the pupils' leaflet drafts in English. They have used some super sentence structures and really imaginative persuasive techniques.
As an added art bonus, the pupils completed a project for the ALPT that will be on at Guiseley Theatre from next week. Based on the 'Going for a Walk' theme and our Geography topic of Greece. The pupils created a frame using wood and used string to create a weave. They then added different materials to create an abstract beach scene. The pupils enjoyed the opportunity to create something different using unusual materials.

In English, we begun our new persuasive unit where the pupils will be writing a leaflet about Yeadon. We have been learning about persuasive features and how each one can play a part with within persuasive writing. The pupils have enjoyed using some of these features so far, especially hyperboles.
In Art, we have continued our Ancient Cultures study by creating a clay cartouche that will be displayed with our death masks when we complete them. The pupils enjoyed writing their names in hieroglyphs.

I hope everyone had a relaxing break and enjoyed the weekend's celebrations. The pupils have returned for their last half-term in Year 5 with a great attitude for learning.
In Maths, we have begun our positions and directions unit. The pupils have shown a great understanding of quadrants and co-ordinates.
In English, we have used a unit from last half-term to independently plan and write a Myth. The pupils have created their own mythical creatures and it will be interesting to see what special features/powers they have.
In Science, we continued to look and Earth and Space. We discussed Geocentric and Heliocentric theories and how those have changed over the centuries, before researching a famous scientist/astronomer that had been discussed.
