In Geography, we are learning about Energy & Sustainability. As an ongoing English/Geog project, over the week, could you please research 3 things to do with our topic, which we have covered so far. These could be any three of the following: renewable and non-renewable energy; windfarms; sustainability in Curitiba; Recycling or the future & energy security.

Well done Year 5 for another week of working hard and learning lots! We have been working on persuasive writing in English. The children began working on an advert for a new healthy snack bar – thinking up names and slogans and using persuasive devices in their writing. I’m sure they will enjoy discussing slogans/advertising with you as they were very enthusiastic about it in class. We also began learning about healthy lifestyles and the importance of looking after our minds as well as our bodies over Mental Health Awareness week. This work will continue until half term.
