Year 5 have started doing some experiments for their science topic and have been learning about saturation, dissolving and melting. In maths we have been looking at column subtraction and the children have been making wonderful progress. For literacy we have been writing learning about instructions, both written and verbal. In P.E. we have started using climbing apparatus and the children will be developing their balancing skills next week.

Perhaps the most exciting new thing this year has been the start of ukulele lessons. I will be taking part in the lesson next week for the first time and am looking forward to seeing what they have learned so far.

A highlight of last week was having a salsa dance teacher come in for a one-off lesson last week and this week the children are very much looking forward to going to see Bristol City for free as a reward for their great work in their football training sessions!
