We're ready for the Isle of Wight!
Year 5 have been busy learning all about the coastal features on the Isle of Wight! We have investigated how the groynes at Sandown beach work to stop longshore drift, as well as being able to identify the effects that coastal erosion has had on the island. We will see all of this in action next week! In English, we have rounded up our topic on The Lost Words, where the children have impressed us with their poetic prowess. We have begun to look at our new core text, Journey to Jo'burg by Beverly Naidoo, where we have explored the history of apartheid in South Africa. We have had some excellent discussions in our classes, full of curiosity. In maths we have been learning how to count through zero into negative numbers, applying this to real life situations like temperature. We look forward to seeing you all on Monday morning with a suitcase in tow! Happy packing!
