What have Y5 been up to?

What a fantastic start to the beginning of the year! We have been incredibly impressed with the attitudes to learning that the children have shown this week whilst we settle into Year 5. 

In our English lessons, we are learning about writing diary entries. We have looked at the features of a diary entry and are beginning to look at each of those features in more detail. We are using The Dreamgiver - a short animation - as a stimulus. 

In maths, we have been learning about the expectations for calculating in Year 5 and place value up to tens of thousands. This will be invaluable in setting out calculations and understanding of number.
