YEAR 5 (INDIGO)
Mr Bain (Covering for Mrs J Miller)Welcome to class 5M!
My name is Mrs Miller and I am the class teacher for 5M.
In class 5M, the children are hard working and enthusiastic. This is our class blog and we want everyone to see what we get up to while we`re learning so please keep visiting regularly for updates on what we have been getting up to in class, school news and recent letters.
Please leave a lovely comment on our blog so we know that you have visited and the children would love to hear what you think about their classroom learning and activities.
Thank you
Mrs Miller

Repeated pattern designs
In computing we have been using Turtle Academy to program repeated patterns. We have been using count controlled loops. We have called on procedures to simplify our programs and have debugged our designs to make them look better.
If anyone needs anything mending, I know a class.
Even with such a short half term the year 3 and 7B have applied their sewing knowledge and have designed and made their own Anglo-Saxon wallets and purses. [gallery...
Oobleck- solid or liquid?
