We are delighted with how confidently the children have settled into Year 5, demonstrating excellent behaviour and a real enthusiasm for their learning. Our unit of work on Space in science has captured their imaginations, with astronaut training and a growing knowledge of the solar system linking handily to space-themed retrofuturism in art. In maths, they are securing strong foundations in place value to one million, while in English they are exploring our core text, Tuesday by David Wiesner, and developing their prediction and inference skills. We have also begun our new History topic on the Anglo-Saxons.

We are all looking forward to an exciting year of learning ahead!
