We will continue to look at patterns and rules within number problems and journeys using words, symbols, numbers and tables. In strand math, we are becoming more confident when using a protractor to measure angles. This will help us to classify different types of triangles as well as other 2D shapes such as quadrilaterals and parallelograms.
Year 5 will begin to apply their knowledge and understanding of explanation texts by beginning to think about their own text. This might be based on a concept of electricity. The children will start to gather research and information as the basis of their understanding and create graphic organisers to plan their own explanation text.
No Golden Book this week due to Easter Monday.
Begin to think about solar and wind power- do you have any questions or wonderings about either topic? Write them down and bring them ready to share in class next week.
Brain Pop video clips are a good place to start 🙂 Or use your Big universe account to explore the library.
