Class 5 children certainly came back raring to go after the Easter holidays!
In Literacy, most of our writing activities have been themed around a new toy, the Zing Air Storm Z-Curve Bow, which children seemed to really enjoy. They wrote a review for the Zing manufacturer/retailers, the script for a radio advert and a letter to persuade me why I should buy Class 5 a Z-Curve Bow. They also wrote instructions to get to a mystery prize on the playground, the contents of which will be revealed this week! If they have been successful in persuading me to part with my cash, they will be planning activities this week involving the toy so watch this space…
In Numeracy we looked at how factors can make multiplying 2- or 3-digit numbers easier and revised different written methods of multiplication. This week we will revisit different methods of division and the association with multiplication.
Other highlights including planning and carrying out a quick investigation in Science involving carrier bags, practical tasks creating shelter structures and starting a new P.E. unit on volleyball.
Well done Class 5 for working so enthusiastically – keep it up!
