Year 5 and 6 News 

Year 5 

A super busy week again in Year 5. We have continued to develop our observational skills, spending a lovely afternoon outside, drawing the school building. We thought about how LS Lowry used perspective and also focused on making sure our use of proportion was accurate.

In our RE lesson we compared the Christian 10 Commandments with those of the Jewish religion and their 613 Mitzvot’s (commandments). We discovered many similarities between the two religions. We then wrote about our own rules to live by – how would we live a good life and what would our rules to follow be?

Music was loud this week, 30 children all playing a musical instrument in a classroom. We looked a musical notation and how many beats each note is worth …and then we tried to all play together.

Year 6

Another fantastic week for Year 6! We are so proud of their mature attitidue towards thier baseline SATs assesments and how they approached them very calmly which was amazing to see. 

In Science this week, we learnt about the acronym MRS GREN and the

five kingdoms of life and how they are a way of grouping living organisms based on their characteristics and evolutionary relationships. 

In English, we have been learning about verb types and how they change depending on whether they are singular or plural. 

In PE, we have continued our gymnastic topic focusing on different types of balances this week.

The children loved art and music this week, continuing to work on sound waves to show texture in music and trying out a new drawing skill 'continuous line' when completing observational drawings of our partners.
