Elm Class - Term 3

Last week, Year 5 have been learning to divide much larger numbers. We used some counters to help us understand the method first and then moved onto to the written method. In PE, we have been working with a coach from Swindon Town Football Club to help develop our football skills and ball control.

This week, we have been learning some Pilates moves put to music. We understand how these moves help to work different muscle groups in our bodies. In music, we have been looking at sea shanties and learning to sing a sea shanty. We also used a cup to help with the rhythm in the sea shanty.

Year 5 have had a great start to the term. They have been using manipulatives such as Dienes to help explore methods for multiplying larger numbers using long multiplication. They had their final fencing session in Year 5, where they were able to use the metal swords and protective equipment in a safe and responsible manner. In Science, the children were looking at a range of different materials and describing their properties and characteristics.
