Thomas Willingale School and Nursery
Summer Term
WB 22.4.25
Welcome back, we hope that you have all had a lovely Easter holidays. Can you believe that the children only have one more term left in Year 5. The year is flying by.
It has been a busy week in Year 5!
In English we have been writing our own portal stories about our adventures to a volcanic island. We used lots of different writing techniques including 'show not tell' to engage our reader. We enjoyed writing our portal stories and look forward to sharing them with you when we can.
In Maths this week we have been learning about equivalent fractions and decimals. We have learned about equivalences of tenths, hundredths and thousandths.
1/10 = 0.1
1/100 = 0.01
1/1000 = 0.001
We also learned about other equivalences including
1/2 = 0.5
1/4 = 0.25
3/4 = 0.75
1/5 = 0.2
Next week we will be learning about ordering and rounding decimals.
In Geography we have been learning about different time zones.
This week, we also enjoyed our first swimming session at Davenant school.
