Storytelling in Y5

Today, we have looked at pictorial clues from the story, ‘The Vanishing Rainforest’, to try new work out what happens in the story. We have retold the story in our own words, before Miss Topliss read the story and we found out if we had got it correct!! We are busy building background knowledge on deforestation and its impact, so that we can write our own speeches next week. #LovePlover

World Book Day Competition

Ahead of World Book Day, which is held on Thursday 3rd March, we would like to invite all children to make a book character from a toilet roll tube (or something of an equivalent size that you have at home). You can bring them into your class on World Book Day and one child from each phase will win a special prize! Below are some photos that might give you some inspiration but please let your imaginations run wild! We can’t wait to see your creations! #LovePlover

Excellent Extended Writing

As Scientists we have been comparing the life cycles of different types of animals and used this as an opportunity to produce extended writing. We have been writing reports about the similarities and differences of mammals, reptiles, birds and amphibians.

A shout out goes to Summah and Nishka for their beautiful writing.

Speaking and Listening

Today, 5T have begun their new English cycle with some speaking and listening linked to their new anchor text, ‘Can we Save the Tiger?’ We have prepared short speeches from the text and presented them to our peers. Using the critique we were given, we have written some points to remember for next time. Our next time will be when we have written our own speeches about protecting endangered animals! #LovePlover
