Friday 1st December
Good afternoon and welcome to our first blog of December! Can you believe how quickly it's come around? We can't!
Maths - This week the children have been investigating factors and using this to identify composite and prime numbers. A prime number has only two factors, one and the number itself. For example, 11 is a prime number as its only factors are 1 and 11. Whereas, a composite number has more than two factors. For example, 12 is a composite number as it has 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12 as it's factors. Did you know that 2 is the only even prime number?

English - This week the children have written their hot task in Talk For Writing. They have used the story The Canal, and written their own version of an adventure story based upon it.
Our certificate winner this week is Kian. He won for an all round fabulous week. He has consistently made correct and mature decisions, looked out for his classmates and shown a fantastic work ethic. Keep it up Kian! 
Well done from all of Year 5W!
That's all for this week. Have a lovely weekend. Hopefully, it might warm up a little for next week.
