An Amazing Start to Year 5

What a fantastic start to the new academic year! Our Year 5 children have settled in brilliantly, bringing wonderful energy and enthusiasm into the classroom every day.

Unlocking Numbers:

Year 5 Master Roman Numerals and Place Value!

It has already been a remarkably busy week, and the children are thriving. In Maths, they dived straight into revisiting Roman numerals and place value, showing great determination and focus. Hands-on learning has been at the heart of our lessons, with everyone using practical equipment to build, represent, and deepen their understanding of larger numbers.

                          Loving Literacy:

In literacy, we are reading 'The Hacker' and currently looking at a diary entry from the perspective of Vicky who has been accused of cheating in a maths exam.  However, what has made her situation worse, is that her dad has been arrested for a £1,000,000 fraud!  We are focusing on Vicky's innermost thoughts and feelings and her dilemma.

We are incredibly proud of how quickly Year 5 have adapted to their new routines and set such a positive tone for the term ahead. Keep up the amazing work!

Year 6 - Last First Week of Primary School!

In their last, first week of primary school the Year 6's have been busy bees!

In Literacy, we have fully dived into our text for the half term: Holes - by writing character descriptions and diary entries

In Maths, we have been mastering numbers up to 10,000,000 - using place value charts and solving 'what am I?' clues.

We can't wait to see what the rest of the year holds with our fabulous bunch!

A reminder: please chat with teachers about upcoming secondary deadlines and school advice plus give permission for our Ben Kinsella trip here
