Week beginning - Monday 5th January 2026
Take a peek at all the amazing things we've been learning this week!
Year 5 have returned after the school holidays with a positive and focused attitude, embedding classroom routines and expectations to ensure a smooth start to the term. They have approached their new inquiry with open minds and enthusiasm, exploring ideas about the reasons people move, including push and pull factors. They thought of excellent questions which will guide our inquiry. In maths, Year 5 have tackled multiplication problems with confidence and perseverance—well done.
