This week in Year 5...

We have started our new topic 'Time Traveller' and we looked at the artist Salvador Dali. We looked at some of his artwork which was interesting because the clocks were melting. It was his interpretation of time. After that, we created our own drawing of our own interpretation of time.

In Maths we have been doing revision of fractions. We have looked at how to convert mixed and improper fractions. We also did an arithmetic test.

In English we have been looking at direct and indirect speech. We have also practised our comprehension reading skills.

For our homework this week, we are creating a 'Then and Now' poster/factfile looking at what has changed and what has stayed the same in Solihull Town Centre/Touchwood Shopping Centre.

Questions:

1) How did you present your homework this week?

2) What is 8/3 as a mixed number?

3) What is 3 and 5/8 as an improper fraction?
