Spelling Challenge

We have had a fantastic learning week in Year 5.

This week, we carried on exploring our 'Happy Mind' brains together and practising our happy breathing that helps us regulate ourselves emotionally. 

In English, we continued to share the class novel – Room 13. We discovered how to use figurative language effectively in our writing, including how to use similes and metaphors.

In Maths, we have started a new topic about statistics, analysing and interpreting data on charts and graphs.

During RE, we further developed our knowledge of who David was in the Bible. Everyone enjoyed hearing the story of David and Goliath and how David overcame Goliath using his faith and skill.   

We all enjoyed preparing the Year 5 assembly, based on the theme of friendship and acceptance! Well done Year 5 for working so hard on this. What a fantastic assembly!
