Dear parents and carers,

Please can I remind you that children require a water bottle in school every day.

This week we have continued our unit on tenths, hundredths and are now on thousandths: representing them in decimal and fraction form.

The children are thoroughly enjoying our poetry unit where we analyse and create poetry in response to my all-time favourite book-  LOVE THAT DOG!

Y5 had a session with Brockenhurst College students on Thursday and enjoyed the extra session. They were well-behaved and respectful.

Science:This week we continued investigating forces that oppose motion, and levers. Y5 used this knowledge to make catapults with lolly sticks, elastic bands and a rather large number of mini marshmallows. We proved that levers allow a smaller force to have a greater effect as marshmallows went flying through the sky above the playground!

Computing:Y5 have started their unit on 3D modelling and designing, using Tinker Cad and created some impressive mazes. 

Enjoy your weekend,

The Y5 Team
