Spelling Challenge

 We have had another lovely week of learning in Year 5.

 In English, Year 5 completed their fantastic bat reports. We have nearly completed Room 13 and discovered what’s inside the mystery room.

In Maths we delved into common factors of numbers and the multiplication factors of larger numbers.

This week in RE, we discussed why David’s skills and characteristics as a shepherd made him suitable to be selected by God to be a king. This led us on to investigate what leadership qualities are and how we can develop them.

Christmas activities have continued this week with our Christmas biscuit making day. The children did an amazing job, producing tasty biscuits in colourful packaging to give as gifts. 

Finally, we all enjoyed watching the ‘Beauty and the Beast’ panto and the Rock Steady show this week. Many of Year 5 took part and showed impressive musical skills. Well done!
