Oak Newsletter - 13.11.2026
We have had another fantastic week in Year 5 and the children have worked incredibly hard across all of their subjects.
➗ Maths
We have been finishing our Multiplication and Division topic. The children have been practising multiplying and dividing numbers by 10, 100 and 1,000, as well as working with multiples of 10. They have shown great confidence when using place value to solve these calculations.
📖 Reading
Our Reading lessons have continued to focus on Anne Frank. We have learnt more about her life and experiences during World War II, helping us to develop our understanding of the historical context behind our writing.
🚀 Science
This week, we started our exciting new topic all about Space. The children have begun learning about our Solar System and are looking forward to discovering more about the planets, stars and space exploration over the coming weeks.
✍️ Writing
In Writing, we have started drafting our biographies about Anne Frank. The children have used the research they gathered to begin writing informative and engaging biographies.
🏊 Swimming
Today, the children completed their swimming assessments to see how far they could swim. We are incredibly proud of everyone, as every child has shown massive improvement since we first completed the assessments at the start of the term. Well done, Year 5!
🎖️ History
In History, we continued our learning about World War II and explored the experiences of evacuees. The children showed great interest and empathy while learning about what life was like for children during
the war.
🐻 Children in Need
It was wonderful to see everyone dressed up for Pudsey and Children in Need today. Thank you for your support in helping us raise money for such an important cause while having lots of fun along the way!
📅 Looking Ahead
Final swimming sessions: 20th November and 27th November.
We will continue learning about Space in Science and developing our Anne Frank biographies in Writing.
Have a lovely weekend!
Miss Andrew
