Autumn 2 - Week 1

We are all excited to start our 2nd half term back at school in Class 4. This week we have started all of our new topics. In English, we have begun our new class text - Shadowcage by Phillipa Pearce. This text is a short supernatural story and we will be learning how the author creates suspense within her writing. In maths, year 5 have been studying cubed numbers and multiplying/dividing by 10, 100 and 1000. Year 6 have been using mental calculations and reasoning from known facts.

In PE this week, we have been playing netball; we focused on the different types of passing. We have been looking at fairground rides and how they work in DT. By the end of this half term, we will have built our own miniature fairground rides.
