Peterbrook
Primary School
Welcome to Year 5 Hawks! We've had a busy 2024 so far and it looks like it's going to get even busier!
In Maths, we have been working on fractions and decimals. It has been really interesting to work out equivalences between them and then to simplify them. In English, our writing focus has been on portal stories and I'm pleased to say that some of the terrifying tales written by Hawks would give Stephen King a run for his money! Our reading has improved thanks to the plethora of new books in our class library. The class are always happy to tell you which author they have been reading and how their writing has been influenced by the new vocabulary they read at home.
Music
We have been learning about the Blues and how it influenced music across the world. The class learned how to play the 12 bar blues on the Glockenspiel and played with rhythm, panache and brio! Muddy Waters would have been proud to hear it!
Science
In Science, we covered the topic of gestation periods in mammals and we discovered lots of interesting information about how certain mammals carried their young a lot longer than others. We also found out why rabbits have so many litters (It's about gestation time!)
Geography
In Geography, we undertook an in-depth study of the health of the oceans and why they are so important to the continued wellbeing of the planet. Once we examined the impact that humanity has had on our oceans, it made many of our class think about what they could do to save the oceans. Our eco-councilor Anum has promised to raise the issue at the next eco meeting and we will present our findings to the school!
Our combined class Dodgeball team took part in the regional dodgeball final and although we didn't win, we had a fantastic time, showing off our skills and demonstrating the camaradarie which Peterbrook pupils are famous for!
