Y5/6 have been very busy enjoying their learning this term.

In English we have just completed writing our opener to our suspense story and the children have come up with some fantastic ideas. We definitely have some budding Agatha Christies.

In Maths, Y6 have been keeping their Mathematical brains busy with working on a range of problem solving and investigations to consolidate their skills. They have particularly enjoyed the escape room challenges. Y5 have been working hard with using decimal numbers.

In Science, we have continued to monitor how our potatoes, strawberries and onions are growing, as well as finding out classifying living things. The children have enjoyed researching the different classes and species.
