We have had a wonderful week in Year 5! We are incredibly proud of the skills that Year 5 have used and shown in their English work this week. We had great fun in our Thematic Big Fat End of Term Quiz, the children showed their outstanding knowledge of their Stargazers learning. Please read on to find out what we have been up to and what’s happening next.

This week, we have started to write our own science fiction stories. We have planned and gathered our initial ideas for our science fiction stories. We have looked at what makes a good story and written the beginning.  Next week, we will be finishing our stories
