They have worked hard to continue learning and they have really got their teeth into their Asia brochure. The children now understand the impact of both facts and opinions. We have also finished our time unit in Maths! The children now have a great understanding of different periods of time and can now work out the duration of different events using this.

Fri 26 Jun 2026What a scorcher!
Despite the hot weather, we have had a good week in Year 5. On Tuesday, everyone in school got to meet their new class teacher and spend the day in their new year group. It was so lovely to hear the children come back from their day really excited to move in to Year 6 in September. In maths this week, we have been focusing on decimals and using the four operations with decimals. Next week, we will be moving on to negative numbers. In English, we have continued reading the Snow Leopard and will soon start thinking about writing our own versions of the story.

Fri 19 Jun 2026Year 3 have had a lovely week and have really enjoyed the afternoons. We are so proud of how they coped with their first sports day with us and the resilient attitudes we saw from them. They have worked hard to understand relationships between friends and what can be done to support these, through our PSHE topic. The children are also really coming along with their understanding of time. Our Asia unit in Geography is now being supported by our English unit, in which we are writing travel brochures. The children have become really excited about what they know and an opportunity to use it.
