It’s been another productive week in Year 5 with lots of learning across the curriculum taking place. In History, we role played the Battle of Marathon and discussed tactics from both sides as to why each side won and lost the battle.
In Maths, our place value unit turned to the focus of rounding- in which the children displayed excellent retrieval skills. Today, we took it up a notch and tackled some trickier rounding questions. With focus and resilience, the class achieved their objective which was great to see.
In English, we have finished the first two chapters of ‘The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe’ and have been creating character descriptions and also making predictions by inferring from the book and film.
