Myths and Legends

Next week we will be starting our new literacy unit 'Myths and Legends.'

We will be looking at the following myths and legends during this unit:

The Loch Ness Monster
The Lost City of Atlantis

These myths and legends link very well with our 'Water Worlds' unit. We will be using film clips and texts to support our own writing.

Please remember that your homework this weekend is to find out about the Loch Ness monster and Atlantis.

Have a fantastic weekend year 5!

Monday 5th March

Today we began to plan TV adverts to stop water pollution. We have been investigating the Earth Hour campaign so that we can develop our own water projects.

We began by looking at the causes of water pollution and how we can prevent this from happening. We worked in groups to create a storyboard for our advert. We will be making our props and rehearsing our adverts on Wednesday with the final recording taking place on Friday.

We look forward to sharing our finished projects with you.

Celebration Assembly

Congratulations to Sufyaan who has been awarded our 'Hard worker of the week.' It was a tough decision as everyone has been working hard since returning from the half term holiday.

Sufyaan has worked particularly hard on his literacy skills and has recently moved up a group. I have been very impressed with Sufyaan's writing. Well done Sufyaan, you should be proud of your achievements. Keep up the hard work!

This week the children have voted for Uzayr as 'Friend of the week.' Here is what some of the children have to say about Uzayr:

He is great at football
He is good at maths
He is a jolly good show
He is kind

Well done Uzayr!
