Reading and spelling
In addition to the weekly spellings, each child has their own Spelling Shed account.
To support our children to read regularly each week, online books (with a range of opportunities to develop reading and inference skills) can be accessed through Bug Club.
Year 5 have had a slice of fun in DT today!
They’ve been learning all about the seasonality of foods and using this knowledge to carefully plan and design their own pizzas. From choosing ingredients that are in season to thinking about flavours and combinations, the children showed great creativity and thoughtfulness throughout the process.
Today was the exciting moment when they got to create and taste their final products – and they were delicious! A fantastic hands-on lesson with lots of learning, teamwork and smiles all round.

Science
We are currently learning about mixtures and separation in science. Since experimenting with mixtures, we moved onto sieving today. Now we can define the term sieving, describe how sieving separates mixtures and determine when it is more effective to use sieving or magnetism to separate a mixture.
