Maths Competition – individual  

Spelling Challenge  

We have had a fantastic learning week in Year 5.

In English, we have been writing, using relative clauses for extra information. Well done Year 5!  

In Maths, we have been exploring number problems, continuing to use a wide range of addition/subtraction strategies and also trying to answer a variety of arithmetic questions.

We have continued to discover and discuss who our ‘neighbour’ is and how we can help them in our ‘love thy neighbour’ RE topic. We have been writing some lovely prayers to God to help us on our path in life.

In Science, we explored when forces are helpful and when they are unwanted. Everyone came up with great answers for this.

Finally, in Art, we finished our 3D maps of Narnia. They look fabulous displayed in the classroom.
