Mesmerising Measurements

At the beginning of the year we hopped over fractions, skipped over decimals and now we have jumped into measurement..  It all links with our Ancient Greek topic, as we are going to be learning a lot about the Olympics both in and out of the classroom. 

With that in mind, can you answer these questions about measurement from BBC Bitesize?  Post your score in the comments so we can see who can get the highest! 

Clauses and Phrases

We are learning about the different ways sentences are made up.  This week we have focused particularly on clauses and phrases.

Exhibiting our talents!

After all of the hard work around Black Georgians in Year 5, we were lucky enough to see some of our work exhibited in a special showcase at the Black Cultural Archives on Friday and Saturday. 

We popped along on Friday to see our comic strips  and poetry displayed for the public to peruse and, as you can tell from our photos, we are very proud of our achievements!

 

Huge thanks to the Black Cultural Archives, Adissa (our poetry whiz) and Steve Marchant (comic skills guru) for organising and working with us! We had a great time.

 

 

We'll be making a book of all of our work, so come and have a look if you didn't get a chance to visit the exhibition. 

A Handful Of Coins

I have a handful of coins. I give away 1/3 of them.  How much money do I have left?

All About Olaudah Equiano

We've learnt an awful lot about Olaudah Equianao, a famous writer and abolitionist, in Year 5 this term.  

Rather than asking you questions about his life, we'd like you to write your own quiz and post it in the comments for others to try and complete! 

For instance,  my quiz would start:

1) Where was Olaudah Equiano born?

2) Where did Equiano live when he was enslaved with a widow?

3) How old was Equiano when he came over to London?

To answer a quiz, simply respond to the comment with your answers! Remember to make it clear which answer corresponds with which question! EG:

1) Benin
