This week, Year 5 have been developing their skills at persuasive writing.  We have based it around our topic work on evacuees in World War 2 and have written a letter to parents persuading them to evacuate their children to a safer environment.

 

 

 

We rehearsed new sentence types to a develop our  writing skills.

Then we selected vocabulary that would enhance our work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Maths we studied how to find the area and perimeter of shapes. On Friday we put our knowledge to the test by solving multi step word problems.

 

 

We worked in groups and earned points on how we worked together, the way we explained how we solved the problem and if we got the answer correct.
