Diving in the Deep End

Year 5 have been learning to read and write numbers up to 1 million.

Year 5 leapt straight back into learning this week. We looked at excellent inspiring speeches, and began preparing our own. We will be voting for School Council representatives next week, with proper polling stations and ballot boxes. We have been discussing parliament and elections - which is very topical at the moment!

Can you give us an update or your opinion of what is happening in parliament?

Should we have a general election, and if so, when?

We will be preparing debates as well next week, around The Tin Forest. We made some Tin Forests of our own, with animals, flowers and even houses.

We have been writing some really big cheques, in order to practice spelling and punctuating 6 digit numbers correctly.

What would you pay yourself for a year of really good learning?

Where do you find 5 and 6 digit numbers in real life?
