We have had another great week in Year 5.

In English we have all been creating great questions to ask the class about The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, as well as practising writing direct speech and using modal verbs.   

In Maths we have been learning about place values, including numbers with decimals. We have also been re-capping where large numbers sit on a number line. Year 5 have once again put 100% effort into this.  

We continued to follow the life of Moses in RE this week by learning about the time that he heard the ten commandments from God. As a class, we have been discussing their meanings and how they apply to us today.  

In Art the children have created their own fonts in typography using inspiration from mechanical items and nature.

We were able to play full games of netball in PE this week and the children were able to demonstrate both their passing skills as well as practise their shooting. The sun shone and everyone tried so hard which was great to see. 

After last week’s delve into gravity in science, this time we discussed other forces at work on our planet. We went on to experiment with magnets and discover how useful magnetic force is in our world. Well done Year 5.
