Weekly update 27.9.24

The children in Year 5 finished writing their letter to the Father in our book, The Matchbox Diaries, working hard to edit and write their work up in neat. In maths they have continued looking at place value, working with number lines and comparing the value of a range of 6-digit numbers. In Geography, they sorted human and physical features of North America looking at natural features such as valleys, mountains, waterfalls and watching a geyser. The children have been discussing rules and responsibilities in PSHE and have also shown great respect to their classmates while those who wanted to run for school council gave a short speech to the class before a secret ballot to vote for our representatives.
