Week 1 Term 2

It has been a fantastic first week back in Year 5 and 6, with the children settling quickly into their learning and approaching every challenge with enthusiasm. 

As writers, we continued to explore our class text, Secrets of a Sun King. We reflected on the emotional journey of the main character so far and examined how the author uses descriptive language to create mood and atmosphere throughout the story. 

As artists, we drew upon our knowledge of Ancient Egypt to create our own Egyptian-inspired artwork. Using our own images as inspiration, the children produced some incredibly creative and imaginative pieces that clearly showcased their artistic skills. 

As mathmeticians, we explored long division, square and cube numbers, and developed our understanding of adding and subtracting mixed-number fractions. The children showed excellent perseverance when tackling these challenging concepts. 

Overall, it has been a wonderful start to the term, and we are looking forward to another exciting week of learning ahead.
