โ€˜Achieving Together โ— Inspired To Be Successfulโ€™

Year 5’s awesome Autumn 2!

In Year 5, we have been super busy this term with lots of brilliant learning. We have written a letter home from Outer Space from the perspective of Liam Digby, the main character in our class book: Cosmic by Frank Cottrell Boyce. The children enjoyed this a lot and we had a chance to read them to our own Mrs Digby here in school.

We have been lucky to have had a fantastic Space topic this term. We have learnt all about the Solar System, figuring out night and day and the relative sizes of things in our Universe!

Did you know that Betelgeuse, a red giant, is about 700 times bigger than theย sun and about 14,000 times brighter?!

We have also learnt all about coasts and have researched into the Islands that are around the UK.

In music, we have been learning about Earth by Hanz Zimmer (https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/ten-pieces/classical-music-hans-zimmer-earth/zh4k382). We used this as an inspiration to compose our own pieces using dynamics, pitch and tone.

In science, we have been learning about the properties of materials. We tied in our oracy skills by trying to use scientific vocabulary to describe an object hidden behind a screen. It was good fun and the children learnt a lot.
