This Tuesday was officially the first day of spring! We welcomed spring with a special treat – Year 5 enjoyed watching the Young Shakespeare Company perform A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare. In fact, the children were not only audience members but fellow actors! They were absolutely brilliant and the whole event was thoroughly enjoyable. In Maths we have learnt several methods for division and can use them confidently. In Geography, we have learnt about human features of coasts and how to prevent coastal erosion using sea defences. We have also been working on a personal narrative using Running on Empty as inspiration. We have particularly been focussed on using a range of tenses.

In English we will be completing our personal narratives inspired by Running on Empty. Maths is a recap and end of unit assessment on fractions, multiplication and division. We will be doing TastEd on Friday morning. We will also be doing a case study of Hunstanton and the challenges it faces as well as the natural features that can be found there.
