Spelling Challenge  

We have had another great week in Year 5.

In English, we continued learning about adverbials. The children wrote some fantastic spy letters to the Queen of Narnia, using fronted adverbials for cohesion in their writing.

In Maths, we moved on to our new topic of addition and subtraction. We have been practising partitioning and considering other suitable methods we could use. 

Our focus in RE this week was the Catholic virtues. We discovered that virtues are simply the habit of doing good things in life.   

Jazz continues to be the theme in music and everyone enjoyed learning a new piece on the djembe drums.

 Finally, in Geography, Year 5 enjoyed going on a virtual field trip to Malham in Yorkshire and learning about the rural aspects of England.
