We looked at a copy of the Quran

We are learning about different faiths. Ms Phibz and her family follow the Muslim religion. Ms Phibz will be talking with Y4/Y5 about her faith. She has loaned us a special copy of the Quran. This is the Muslim holy text. Like all faith books, we must ensure that we treat it with respect. This is a very modern copy with a pen reader and microphone.

This week we have been learning about alliteration and we created this display in our classroom.

Here are some examples of our alliterative sentences.

• Pin paints a peacock perfectly in the Philippines.
• Phee the Polar bear predator politely ate the pineapple and printed a poem on the printer.
• Sixteen snails in the safari park safely passing the scanner.
• Every eagle destroys their effortless nest in excitement.
• Liew the lizard licked a lime lollipop in Landmark.
• Eric the elephant is eating enormous Easter eggs everywhere in England. 
• Angry Athens ate a lot of apples on the airplane in April.

Y5 Maths has had a big impact on building their self-management and thinking skills by developing their own business. We discussed what an entrepreneur is and how they can be an entrepreneur. Next steps will be for each learner to create their own business, make items that they will sell and design their own stale before opening their "doors". 

Next week we will continue this project and hope to be open for business by Wednesday. Once businesses are open, learners will role-play being a business owner or a consumer with real money to apply a practical application of addition and subtraction of money.  

Homework next week will be to make a video on how an entrepreneur needs maths to help make their business successful.
