English

In English this week, Year 5 have finished reading Cosmic - wow what a ride! We've thoroughly enjoyed this book and created some amazing writing as a result. This week, we wrote emails and diary entries in role as Liam, reflecting back on his time in space.

Maths

In maths this week, year 5 have continued their work on decimals, making links between their fractions knowledge of tenths and hundredths and their understanding of place value.

DT has been fun this week! We've been building moon buggies (straight-line vehicles). Unfortunately, these are unfinished, but as soon as they are we'll have photos to share and children will be able to take some of them home also! Great work year 5 - building a working circuit and a frame and chasis within which to hold it was not easy, but through your perseverance and problem solving you managed it! They look super!
