Welcome to our blog for this week here in Year 5W. We have been working hard and having fun!

Maths 

This week the children have been investigating place value. For example...

What is the value of the underlined digit?   235,087

Place these numbers in order from smallest to largest...

                  3451          4315          1453          3541          4513          1345     

Use < or >  to complete the number sentence...

                                     15,953                          15,892

English 

The children have been learning about modal verbs. These are verbs that show a degree of possibility. For example, 

I will go to the park after school.                             You must wear school uniform.

I might go to the park after school.                         You could wear school uniform.

Class Novel

We have begun our new class novel this week in class. It is called The Secret of Nightingale Wood by Lucy Strange. It tells the story of Henry (short for Henrietta) whose life is turned upside down after the death of her brother. Following a move to the country, Henry finds herself almost alone; her despairing father disappears on a work trip while her mother takes to her bed and becomes a prisoner of the doctor. Henry finds help and friendship from Moth, the mysterious woman who lives in the woods. Together, they refashion Henry’s life and she begins to heal.

Our certificate winner this week is Lincoln for rising to the challenge in maths. Lincoln has showed pride and passion when pushing himself to the next level in maths so far this year.
