Drunken Sailors and other modern day banned items in school!
We have had a fun and busy week in Year 5!
Year Five have once again had a great start back after the October half term.
We are learning about lots of new topics and children are really putting their all into it!
In maths we consolidated our knowledge on negative numbers by playing a game with our partners. The children were really engaged and even Mrs Potts was impressed by all the children.
In DT this term we are looking at making moving toys, this week we were looking at structure and had a competition to see who could hold the heaviest item with their structure. I look forward to seeing end result at the end of the term.
In music we have been learning ‘The Drunken Sailor’, and this is something that we have all been enjoying. This week we had a mid point assessment where we learnt:
“Hey, ho! Nobody home!
Meat nor drink nor money have I none.
Still I will be very merry.
Hey, ho! Nobody home!”
They all did really well and even managed to add some body percussion.
In English we are looking at suspense and what makes a piece of writing suspenseful. This week we are starting to generate our ideas about a modern day banned item in school!
All children wrote a prequal to their suspense story with hoe the banned item got into their bag including this one—
At home my parents don’t allow me to drink coffee but why are my friends allowed too? I’m tired of no coffee but today was the day I’m going to sneak it in, it can’t be that hard.
I woke up very early that morning so I could use the coffee machine in my home. I got my water bottle, put milk into it and turned it on. I then heard the loudest noise. Thankfully no on heard it! I’m still safe.
I look forward to reading the suspense story in full!
