The first half-term of Y5 has been full of amazing discoveries and a lot of hard work. Well done to all of our pupils who have adjusted so well to the Y5 setting - we are tremendously impressed and hope you all have a restful half-term.

In our final investigation as part of our unit of work on space, we investigated how speed of impact affects crater geometry - by making our own craters in the classroom!  In maths, we have finished our exploration of addition and subtraction and moved onto multiplication and division - learning for the first time about concepts such as prime and square numbers.

In English, the children created some fascinating fact-files about Antarctica to help immerse us in Ernest Shackleton's Trans-Antarctic (Endurance) Expedition of 1914-1916. We have also journeyed even further back in time, comparing life in Roman and Anglo-Saxon Britain.
