We have had yet another fabulous week in Foxes class. It has involved social media, Shanghai and spoons!

In English this week, we have completed a range of writing tasks focused on the theme of social media. These included: writing poems that explore both the good and bad sides of social media, writing a formal or informal letter containing advice and safety tips for staying safe online, and producing an informative guide to social media for parents/carers. We look forward to sharing our writing with you during parents' evening!

World Book Day 2026 - 

On World Book Day, we completed a range of activities including The Great Big Footy and Booky Quiz 2026 and the much-anticipated book character wooden spoons! For our English lesson on this day, we created a social media profile for one of our favourite book characters!

In Maths, Year 5s have been learning about hundredths as fractions and decimals as well as thousandths as fractions and decimals. Next week we will be learning how to order and compare decimals with up to 3 decimal places. Year 6 have completed their fractions, decimals and percentages unit of work this week, involving finding a percentage of an amount and finding missing values. We will move on to area and perimeter next week.

In Geography, after conducting research to discover more about the magnificent city of Shanghai, the children have spent time this week creating a leaflet/travel guide for tourists. These contain information about the cities must-see attractions, travel systems, top restaurants and much more!
