This week year 5 have started their new and exciting maths topic of addition and subtraction, learning how to exchange using their place value knowledge! We are nearly coming to the end of our book in English, titled, 'When We Walked On the Moon'. This week, we have been planning our formal mission logs after receiving an exciting letter from NASA asking us to be part of their team because our Exploration Narratives were wonderful. We will be writing our mission logs from our adventures in space next week. In Science, we have been exploring how we get day and night and investigating what happens to the Sun when it is night time. Year 5 have been building dens and clay and eating lots of yummy popcorn in Forest School this week!

Year 5 have had a fantastic week of writing! We have been putting all of our planning and ideas together to finally create our Exploration Narratives about landing on the moon. We have all put our amazing ideas onto paper and some of us have even made it to the Golden Book this week! We have come to the end of our place value topic in Maths. 5H have enjoyed learning about how night and day occur in Science whilst 5N have had a blast at forest school this week. 

Last week, we met our new buddies in the Squirrels and Badgers class and had loads of fun learning about each other! We will continue to meet them weekly until our harvest service at the Church.

This week Year 5 have continued to make an amazing start to the year. We now both started forest school now and have thoroughly enjoyed making chairs and dens out of tyres! 

We have continued to look at place value in maths and numbers up to 1,000,000. We have had lots of fun on an immersive imaginary Spacewalk to help us gather lots of brilliant ideas for our writing in English next week.

This week, we have thoroughly enjoyed seeing the children in an outdoor activity setting where we have seen them excel in team building, orienteering and pushing themselves to complete complex low rope challenges. They had an amazing time making new friends and of course, getting muddy at Carroty Wood!! (Photos to follow)

We have started our class book of When We Walked on the Moon during our English lessons and were astounded to watch the first commercial Space Walk Live on the BBC this week. We have also been looking at numbers up to 1,000,000 and have learnt about new columns in the place value chart.

5N have started Forest School this week, engaging in tasks such as, Woodland Management using the new theatre area and 5H are looking forward to start learning outdoors from next week.
