Our First Week in Year 5

Our theme this term is Water, Rivers & Oceans

So far we have talked about the states of water, watched and discussed a video about how rivers affect people and looked at how compasses are used to describe positions of ships at sea. Tomorrow we will be setting up an experiment to look at the relationship between evaporation and sunlight!

Our current literacy challenge is to make a storybook based on The Woman of the Woods

We have described our characters, planned our stories and written our drafts in Big Write - now we are ready to start making our story books! Take a look at some of our front covers below.

In maths, we have been working on our Four Core Calculations; addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

We are currently learning how to use the grid method for multiplication - look at the video below to learn more about how to use this method...
