Autumn 1

During our Autumn 1 term the children have been learning all about Anglo-Saxons. 

In their history lessons the children learnt who the Anglo-Saxons were, their lives and belief systems.

During our literacy lessons the children studied the book 'Sir Gawain and the green knight'. They created their own diary and later wrote some poetry based on the poem 'The lady of Shallot'.

In our maths this half term the children worked on their place value skills and started to improve their mulitplication and division skills.

Also in this term the year 5's began enjoying their forest school activities. The children built fires, objects such as bows and also improved their social skills with team games.
