Welcome to Year 5 and Team Saffron

Your teacher is Mrs Florido

Your teaching assistant is Mrs Archer & Mr Dakin

This week, in Maths we used the formal method of column addition and subtraction to add or subtract large numbers and decimal numbers. In English, we read our new class text, the poem, ‘The Highwayman’ and identified some figurative language. We also thought about the characters’ points of view and wrote a diary entry from the viewpoint of Bess.

In RE, we learnt all about synagogues and what important items or clothing might be seen in a synagogue. In DT we thought about the muffins we baked with Mrs Pyke and evaluated them. We thought about what enjoyed about making them and whether we liked the overall appearance, smell and taste of them. We also considered what we would change if we had to bake them again. In Computing, we continued our work on Coding and in PSHE we talked about how to recognise racism and what to do if we heard it.

Next week in Maths we will be finding missing numbers in column addition and subtraction calculations and in English we will continue our work using the classic poem, ‘The Highwayman’, and rewrite the story as a newspaper report.

Have a great weekend!

PE days for Saffron this term are Monday and Tuesday.
