Year 5 Weekly Review

Spring 2 Week 4: 24th - 28th March 2025

Weekly Review 

We have come to the end of week 5 at Ravenstone and what a week! 5M had an incredible visit to the Apple offices in Battersea power station where we got a guided tour of the offices and afterwards we attended two workshops; the first on coding using Apple’s own coding language and then another on photography using the latest model of iPhones! In DT we finished building our truss bridges out of spaghetti, testing the importance of tessellation and patterns. We also had our second house morning where children from all over the school worked together in games, activities and designing their own house crests!

English:

This week in English we began our modelled piece of writing about Friend or Foe which is a diary entry about David and Tucky’s adventure into the Moors to find the German pilots. Next week the children will be writing their own diary entries using exciting pieces of grammar and flair from their reading.

Maths:

In Maths this week we have begun our work on fractions, starting with unit fractions and multiplying proper fractions to make improper fractions. This will lead to the children constructing mixed fractions.

PATHs:

This week in PATHs, we focused on dealing with Gossip. We identified what gossip is, how we can respond to people gossiping about us and others and the different feelings that can motivate gossip and be felt after experiencing it.
