Year 5 Newsletter


As we approach the end of term, we reflect on how much we have achieved over the last fortnight!  It is safe to say that everyone has worked really hard to master long multiplication in maths and everyone should be rightly proud of their progress.  In English, we have moved onto instructional writing and linking to topic, we have been writing instructions on how to sacrifice humans.  Did you know that often losers of Pok-a-Tok matches (a game played by Mayans using their hips and knees to pass rubber balls) were sacrificed to the Mayan gods?  We had previously concluded that this made the Mayans rather savage! Still linking to our topic work, we have started our epic, end of term art and DT project.  So far, we have designed and made Mayan inspired printing plates for printing repeating patterns onto fabric.  We will use the fabric for our DT project to make sleeping bags for Guetamalan worry dolls.  Watch this space for more updates as this project progresses!
