Life Skills: Broadford DIY
We are thrilled to wrap up Part 1 of our Broadford DIY Life Skills module. Over the last three weeks, Year 5 pupils have gained hands-on knowledge to help them become more independent:
Healthy Eating & Food Labels: We investigated how to read nutritional traffic light systems on packaging to make informed choices about balanced diets.
Personal Care & Hygiene: The children learned the science behind sweating, exploring the differences between deodorants and anti-perspirants.
Laundry Essentials: We covered the basics of washing clothes, including sorting by colours, understanding fabric care, measuring dirt levels, and choosing the right laundry products.
Literacy: Tackling Big Questions
In Literacy, we have been busy planning our independent balanced arguments exploring the debate: "Should Social Media Have an Age Restriction?" The pupils have looked at both sides of the argument, gathering compelling points for and against to ensure their writing is fair and well-structured. Over the coming week, they will be bringing these plans to life in their final drafts.

MATHS: MOVING BEYOND PLACE VALUE
In Maths, we officially finished our unit on Place Value! Having built a strong foundation in understanding number values, we are now moving on to Addition and Subtraction, where pupils will apply column methods to increasingly complex problems.
