Thomas Willingale School and Nursery
Autumn Term
WB 9.9.24
Can you believe that we are already half way through our second week in Year 5.
We have been busy in Maths learning about Place Value and extending our knowledge of numbers up to 100,000. We have been busy reading and writing numbers in words and numerals.
In History and Geography we started our new topic. Our topic for this term is called 'Achievements and Legacies'. We started this topic by exploring The Mayans. As Historians we have been gathering evidence from different sources. We presented our findings chronologically on a timeline. As geographers, we have been busy locating the main countries in Central America where the Mayans were located. Some of these are: Mexico, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador etc. Some of us even managed to locate some cities within these countries. Amazing!!! The children have shown a great interest in this topic and it is lovely to see.
In PE, we are learning about tag rugby. This week we have been practising how to throw and catch a rugby ball. We look forward to next weeks session.
Welcome to Year 5 we hope you have all had a wonderful Summer holiday and are looking forward to our journey together in Year 5.
