Hi everyone!

Here are the games that I would like you to keep playing on for homework. It’s slightly different this week, you have the last few days of this week and next week to complete them. So, I think you should go on them every day and try and improve your score each time. Feel free to leave me a comment every time you do too!

In the first one you have to set yourself targets to beat…

The next one relates to our whole school target which is finding fractional amounts of different quantities…

What do goldfish dream about?

Think carefully about your answers and give reasons why you think that.

Post your comments below….

Decades Day

blogadmin — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 22:37:15 +0000

On Thursday 10th December, the Year 5′s (including the teachers) all dressed up in outfits from the decades between 1950′s to 2000′s! In the morning, each class watched presentations about each decade, which were given and created by fellow classmates. In the afternoon everybody enjoyed a picnic and played some games from the various decades. Here are the pictures from the day! Please leave a comment about the outfits, or the day in general!
