Spelling Challenge  

We have had a super learning week in Year 5.

In English we have been writing short stories using co-ordinating and sub-ordinating conjunctions. We are also reaching the climax of our Narnia novel where the queen and Aslan  finally meet at the stone table.

In Maths we are continuing to practise addition and subtraction using number lines, compensation methods and partitioning. The children have also been tackling some challenging maths problems and have shown great resilience in searching for the answers. Well done!  

Our topic in RE this week was all about loving God and loving all people. We learnt about how much our little acts of love and kindness every day can make a big difference.  

Finally, in science, we explored the idea of forces working against each other and how to make things go faster through the air. The children really enjoyed making streamlined paper planes and competing against each other to see whose plane could go the furthest.
