Year 5, Samos, week ending 13.11.26
This week’s learning has been full of creativity, curiosity and reflection!
In English, the children completed and published their World War I cinquain poems, showing great care in choosing powerful vocabulary. We also began our new writing unit based on The Promise by Nicola Davies, exploring how authors use descriptive language to bring stories to life.
In Maths, we continued our work on fractions, finding equivalent fractions, converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions, and comparing fractions less than 1.
In Science, the children investigated transparency by using an online light meter to measure lux (LUX) levels and discover how different materials affect the amount of light that passes through them.
In RE, we learned about Diwali and the story of Rama and Sita, as well as the life of Saint Nektarios of Aegina. The children reflected on the virtues he demonstrated, including humility, perseverance, forgiveness and kindness, and discussed how these values can guide our own lives.
We are very proud of the children’s enthusiasm and hard work throughout another fantastic week of learning!
