Victorian Hot Seating in Year 5!

To enhance their diary writing, and to improve their oracy skills, Year 5 took on the roles of workhouse children and the main character of our class text “Street Child”.  The characters and the class were amazing and used all the information they have learnt so far to ask and answer questions!  We definitely have some budding actors and actresses in Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley

Making Millions in Year 5!

Year 5 enjoyed "making millions" literally in our practical Maths session on Friday. Using digit cards, they had to make either the highest value of millions or the lowest value, winning a golden bean if they won.  The class enjoyed this challenge, which covered the Year 5 objective of  "Read, write, order and compare numbers to at least 1,000,000. "  Brilliant Maths Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley

Victorian Timeline in Year 5!

Year 5 have started their journey back in time to learn about the Victorians!  We have learnt that the Victorian period began in 1837, when Victoria became Queen, until her death in 1901, when her son, Edward, became the new monarch!  We compared this to the coronation of our own new monarch, King Charles II who became King after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth lI, two year ago. Of course, we found out about many other dates and inventions during the Victorian period which we will explore in more detail during our topic.  Mrs Blomeley
