It has been lovely to see over these past few weeks, how our Year 5 pupils have grown in confidence when in the water swimming! Keep up the hard work!

We have been comparing different objects and talking about if they are heavy or light. We used our hands to test their weight and then we looked at images and guessed if they would be heavy or light.

Super fine motor SKILLS

We have completed a walking challenge - where we did four laps of the running track outside. We have spoken about what charity is and looked into…

We have used part whole models and cubes to practically make number bonds within 10. We have shown different ways to make the same number. Some of us even wrote the addition number sentence for each one! 

Today we are celebrating children in need. We have been very busy this morning with learning all about children in need and how we can make a difference. We took part in a mile walk around our field and this afternoon we will take part in some creative activities linked to children in need.…
