Year 5 are reading the book ‘Boy in the Tower’. It features a boy called Ade, who enjoys living in the top of the tower. Unfortunately one day the world changes with the arrival of ‘bluchers’, which demolish buildings all around. We will continue to read this story after Easter.

In English, we have been studying William Shakespeare, and writing a summary of a Midsommer Nights’ Dream. The children have been working at improving their presentation and their handwriting.

In Maths, we have worked hard to understand how fractions, decimals and percentages link together. We will build on this through the summer term and also work on shape, position and direction.

In Science we have finished learning about forces, including how levers, pulleys and gears work. Now we have moved onto study Earth and Space. We have learnt about the planets and the order of them from the sun.

Remember to read every day at home for 15 minutes and keep practising times table facts and the Years 5 and 6 Spelling List in planners.

It is a pleasure to work with such a welcoming class. Be proud of all the silver and gold stars you have earned. There will be more opportunities to earn them after Easter. From Mr Watton.
