What a fantastic week it has been in Year 5! 🌟 The children have continued to embrace new challenges, develop their skills and enjoy a range of exciting learning opportunities both inside and outside the classroom.

In Maths, we have been solving word problems and using inverse operations to find missing numbers. 🔢 The children have been developing their problem-solving skills, working backwards and using inverse operations to check their answers.

In English, we have continued to focus on speech marks and our jungle narratives. 🌴🐒 The children have been practising punctuating direct speech and exploring how dialogue can bring characters and stories to life as they continue to develop their own jungle adventures.

In Science, we have been exploring water resistance. 💧🚤 The children have been learning how water slows down moving objects and investigating how shape can affect movement through water, making links to real-life examples such as boats.

Both Year 5 classes also completed an impressive 10km walk around St Aidan's Nature Reserve! 🌿🥾 This was a fantastic opportunity to enjoy nature while demonstrating resilience, perseverance and teamwork. We are incredibly proud of the children for taking on this challenge!

In Spelling, we have revisited our Year 3 learning, focusing on words ending in -le. ✏️ The children have been refreshing their knowledge of this spelling pattern and practising applying it in their writing.

We have also continued our Swimming sessions. 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️ The children have been developing their skills, building confidence in the water and practising their swimming techniques.

Another brilliant week in Year 5! We are so proud of the children's enthusiasm, determination and positive attitudes towards their learning. Well done, everyone, for another week full of fantastic achievements! 🌟
