5M's Blog

This week in Year 5 we are learning about Ancient Egypt in Topic. We looked at the different jobs during that time and their job descriptions. We matched up the different job and had to write a little letter with a reason for which job we would like and why we wanted that job. ​ We also watched a video about an explorer, Tadeo Jones. We had to write a recount from his point of view, thinking about his movements and feelings.

On Friday, we watched a video about WW1 and the soldiers that have died for us. We are thankful for everyone that fought for us.

Friday 2nd November

This week in English 5M are reading the book 'Secrets of a Sun King' by Emma Carroll. Over the past few days we have been writing newspaper reports on Egypt based on the book. We highlighted and looked at real newspapers and identified the different features.

On Friday we designed and made ships, thinking about our book from last term 'The Wreck of the Zanzibar'.

Thursday 18th October

We visited the church for our RE lesson this week. We all went and drew pictures of the church features. Some of us drew the stained glass windows and some focused on the lectern. I enjoyed drawing the cross and Riley enjoyed drawing the Lectern. We also looked at the altar and choir stalls.

This week in Year 5 (5M) we were looking at the main features of a church. The features we looked at were:
· The Lectern
· Choir stalls
· Organ
· Pulpit
· Stain glass windows
· Pews
· Altar
· Font
The Lectern is the place where you get bread and wine for Holy Communion. We pray to give our messages to God. Next week we are visiting the church to look at these features some more.

This week in Literacy in 5M, we are writing about The Wreck of the Zanzibar. Next week we are going to be writing diaries about it. On Thursday, it was National Poetry Day so we have been writing poems about Change (like seasons) as well as working on The Wreck of the Zanzibar.
So far in the story, the two twins Billy and Lauren have been separated because Billy went away with Joseph Hannibal to travel around the world to explore but Laura didn't bring Billy . This book is set in 1907 and to find out more about the story you will have to wait until you are in year 5!
