A big well done goes to our Year 5/6 football team who yesterday took part in their first competitive football match of the year. It was a huge learning curve for us and we learnt a lot from the match itself. It definitely wasn't the result that we were hoping for but there are a lot of areas that we are able to work on. We will come back stronger in our next match and Mr Morton already has some good ideas to help us develop our skills moving forward. 

​Today, we went on a school trip to experience life as a Viking Settler. Our trip allowed us to practically experience what it would have been to live in the era of the Vikings. We spent the day living as settlers and had to learn how to defend our land as warriors. We also collected and grew crops taking on the role of farmers and learnt how to make our own bread; as well as entertain ourselves with Viking board games. We even had a go at making our own oil lamps in the pottery shed as well as taking it in turns to be on guard duty to ensure our village didn’t get attacked! We all had a fantastic day and thoroughly enjoyed living as Viking settlers for the day! 

Today we have carried out a vote in class for our new digital leaders for this year.

The two with the most votes are...

Ruby and Ruben!

You will get you badges next week!

In computing, we have been looking at how to use a web search to find specific information.  We searched for 'Rugby', 'Boot' and 'Sale'.  We ended up with lots of different results before we realised we needed to refine our searches to find the information we wanted.  These words are all places in the UK! 

In maths today, we have been using lots of practical resources to help us add and subtract hundredths.  We have used a mixture of Braining Camp, tens frames and part whole models with decimal counters to help us solve addition and subtraction questions.
