Year 5 have really enjoyed a visit from Treehouse Theatre today. Some of our budding actors got involved in the show, acting out the famous parts of ‘porridge’, ‘tree 1’ and ‘exercise gurus’ in Goldilocks. The pantomime adaptation of the classic three bears story was funny and engaging. We loved shouting the classic panto lines and singing or bopping along to the fun songs.

This week we have been brushing up on our space facts and writing non-chronological reports for our readers to learn all about the wonders of the universe. Did you know that Saturn has 8 rings and 82 moons? It is also a Jovian planet and more specifically, a gas giant (which means that it does not have a solid surface like the Earth).
Our spelling words in school this week have been: embarrass, environment, especially equip and equipped. Spellings should be a key focus as it helps make our writing clear and legible. We highly recommend regular spelling practice at home, attached below are the Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 spelling lists from the National Curriculum.
Maths…
In Maths, we have been multiplying four digit numbers. As well as solving some tricky multiplication word problems and calculations with missing numbers. Next week, we will be moving on to division. If any children are struggling with their times table knowledge, this would be a great thing to practice over the weekend!
