After a wonderous first week back, Team DB have settled brilliantly into Year 5. The children have been introduced to the various topics they will be learning about this half term, beginning their Year 5 learning journey. This week we have begun our Time Table Race challenge, which will last for the next three weeks, both at school and the children will be bringing a race home each evening. This week in Team DB we have been doing the following:
Maths In our maths learning, the children have been focussing upon place value knowledge, reading and writing numbers, identifying the value of digits, comparing and ordering numbers, and counting in powers of 10. Literacy In reading, we have started our class text. 'Why the Whales Came', by Michael Morpurgo. The children have gathered information about their class author, understanding more about Morpurgo and the ideas behind some of his favourite stories. The children have been focussing upon the vocabulary he uses to convey meaning. In writing, the children have been identifying persuasive language, analysing how this can be used to engage and influence the reader.
