What is a sentence?
As part of our SPAG lesson today, we discussed what we thought a sentence was. We decided it was an idea that needed to make sense and needed the correct punctuation. We focussed on statements today and worked hard to ensure we included capital letters, finger spaces...
Making Roman Numerals
Last week, Year 5 looked at Roman Numerals. We investigated when they were used, where we might see them as well as how we can read them ourselves. After creating useful guides on how to read Roman Numerals we went down to the hall to play a game of ‘Roman Numeral Charades!’. This game involved the children in groups creating Roman Numerals using actions, the other children then had to guess what number they had created. We really enjoyed this practical maths lesson and it helped us create up to 5 digit numbers in Roman Numerals!
What material is most suitable?
Ted had a problem! We used our scientific knowledge to predict what materials might be most suitable to make an umbrella out of so that he could stay dry in the rain. We knew that the material needed to be strong, lightweight and waterproof. We tested out materials...

Which country do I live in?
Super Science
We have been LOVING our new Science unit. It is all about humans and other animals. We have learned all about the digestive system and all about our teeth and what their names and jobs are. Year 4 are doctors and dentists in the making!
Colour Hunt
Today we went on a colour hunt. Miss Smales gave us clues and we had to guess the colour. Then we had to go find a object in the classroom to match that colour.
Autumnal walks
We had a brilliant time walking around the school grounds identifying the different signs of Autumn beginning including finding leaves falling from deciduous trees.
How do you find 1, 10, 100, 1,000 more or less?
We have been using our knowledge of place value to find 1, 10, 100, 1000 more or less of numbers beyond 1000. We used place value counters when it got tricky, especially when exchanging. We hope we don't get in trouble for drawing on the tables 🙂
Ordinal number races
We have been using cars and a racetrack to learn about ordinal numbers, and have enjoyed matching the ordinal numbers to the car in each position.
