Let's take a look at our learning journey throughout the term...
Autumn Term 1
What a fantastic start to the year!
Having just completed our first full week back at LCS, I am so impressed with all the hard work and resilience I have seen from year 5!
This past week we have been exploring numbers to 10,000 in maths. Rowan have been reflecting and perfecting on some previous learning such as rounding to the nearest ten and hundred and have absolutely smashed rounding to the nearest thousand. In T4W, Rowan have been improving their skills when writing all about settings. We have been thinking how to bring a setting to life for the reader and have been using a variety of different skills such as personification and the ‘show, don’t tell’ technique. I have loved reading the work that year 5 comes up with!
In computing, Rowan have been exploring vector diagrams. A vector diagram is a picture created on a computer made by putting lines and shapes together to create an image. Year 5 have been so creative; I have been so blown away by their creations. In history, Rowan have been exploring the industrial revolution. We discussed what life was like before the introduction of factories and machines. The whole class were incredibly interested and fascinated at how different life was in the middle of the 18th century.
Have a lovely weekend, I look forward to another fantastic week!

Another great week in Remarkable Rowan. This week, year 5 have been exploring the skills needed for great characterisation. We have been using ‘show, don’t tell’ to introduce a character and their personalities. Rowan have really impressed me and I have loved seeing them develop their character description skills. In maths, year 5 have been continuing to explore their development of numbers to 100,000. They have been rounding to the nearest 100,000 and continuing to progress with their place value skills. I was particularly impressed by their Roman Numeral skills on Friday, where they were able to give me a run for my money on their extensive knowledge!
In history, Rowan have continued to learn about the industrial revolution and how the introduction of steam engines had a powerful impact on what Britain has become today. In science, children were very interested to learn all about night and day, and how the Earth takes 365 days to rotate around the sun and 24 hours to rotate itself fully-which gives us night and day.
Can’t wait to see what we get up to next week!

What a week! Year 5 have come back to another fantastic start. In T4W we have been creating some fantastic descriptive poetry. Rowan has enjoyed working in teams to share ideas and jot ideas down. In maths, we have kicked it up a notch and have been exploring numbers up to 1000,000! Year 5 have been practicing writing numbers in words and numerals.
Rowan have continued to explore the impacts of the industrial revolution, looking specifically at the positive and negative impacts of the introduction of the railway lines.

Another fantastic week in year 5!
This week, Rowan have started looking at a new text in T4W called ‘The Canal’. We have explored poetry, looked into what a canal is and what they are for and even completed a drama activity where the year 5’s were able to show off their skills!
In maths, we have continued to look at numbers to 1000,000 by comparing, ordering and rounding. In T4R, Rowan have started to develop their retrieval skills.
Keep it up year 5!
