After undertaking rigorous astronaut training, Y5 have well and truly embarked on the next phase of their educational journey. We kicked off with a tour of our solar system in science and have been checking our astronomical place values in maths - not forgetting that the Romans had their own numerical system - along the way.

In English, we have been levitating in an altogether different manner, exploring the magical world of Tuesday, authored by David Wiesner. Watch out for flying frogs! We have also journeyed back in time to explore the causes and consequences of early Anglo-Saxon settlement in Britain and considered retrofuturism in art.

The Year 5 teaching team have been delighted with how quickly the children have settled into Y5 life in their new classes and look forward to the exciting year ahead.
