Year 5 Weekly Review
Spring 2 Week 4: 24th - 28th March 2025
Weekly Review
It has been a beautiful week back in Year 5 at Ravenstone. We hope you have had a wonderful Easter break everyone. In this short week, we have had our ‘Inside Ravenstone’ which was a pleasure as always - having the parents and children together is such a unique and warming experience. We really hope you enjoyed being a part of the activities that the children hosted for you. In Science we are continuing our topic of the solar system and we became planets, orbiting one another to showcase the differences in time it takes for the planets in our Solar system to orbit the sun. In Reading Practice, we have begun our new book of ‘The London Eye Mystery’ and the children are loving it already!
English:
In our first week back for English, we are beginning our writing cycle using inspiration from ‘The London Eye Mystery’. In this writing cycle, we will be building towards writing our own newspaper article reporting on a heinous crime against some cupcakes brought into Ravenstone! Currently, we are learning and practising our grammatical skills of formal and informal language, adverbial phrases, colons and relative clauses.
Maths:
For our first week of the summer, we continued our key fractions and multiplication topic, multiplying integers (whole numbers) by unit fractions and proper fractions. The children have been using their key skills of multiplication and short division to solve these equations. Knowledge of the times tables has been key in their success here.
PATHs:
In our first week of the Summer term, we focused on discrimination and the key historical figure called Martin Luther King Jr. The children were extremely interested in hearing about the discrimination faced in the past in America. This story played a key role in the purpose of the lesson which was to understand what discrimination is and how it has existed in the past.
