As part of their Writing unit on Balanced Arguments, Year 5 put their "for" and "against" arguments to the test when they argued whether school uniforms should be worn in school!  They were brilliant and it helped when they came to write their final piece about "Why is South America a Continent of Contrasts?"  Mrs Blomeley

Year 5 loved using the multi-link cubes to make their cube numbers last week!  This visual and kinesthetic learning helped them to consolidate how a cube number is formed by multiplying any given number by itself twice.  The symbol for cubed is ³  They learnt that 8 x 8 x 8 (or 8³) = 64 by fixing that amount of cubes.  We ran out of cubes after that but most of Year 5 now know their cube number facts, as well as their square numbers!  Brilliant work Yar 5!  Mrs Blomeley

Our last merit assembly of this academic year gave us so many awards!  Headteacher's merits were awarded for being hardworking and helpful, as well as being a great role model with an amazing sense of humour!  Good to be Green awards were given for being Ready, Respectful and Safe.  Gold awards for gaining 170 star points in Year 5 and, unbelievably, we had three winners of Headteachers medals for gaining 250 star points!  Wow!  Well done to everyone this year for their amazing efforts in Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley
