What a busy couple of weeks we've had in Year 5!
In Maths we've been reviewing some of the major concepts we've taken. It was assessment week this past week so the review helped us to remember some of the tricky things we've covered. The same was true for English. Using commas in a list and apostrophes to show possession proved to be a bit challenging for some, but most are starting to get the idea now.

Our trip to the Durham Archaeology Museum on Friday the 5th of June went really well. The program revolved around the Ancient Greek civilisation, so fit in with our topic unit perfectly. From building their own temples out of foam blocks to handling genuine 2000 year old artifacts, the children certainly gained a breadth of knowledge and practical understanding.
A temple fit for an Ancient Greek God/Goddess!
