One of our main focuses in Class 5 at the moment is on improving our maths work. It’s really important that we work hard on all of our mathematical skills to improve our maths levels. There is many different ways to work on our maths skills and we are currently doing lots of different work from practical investigations:

On Friday 13th September it was Roald Dahl Day. This annual celebration is held on the anniversary of the author’s birthday to celebrate is enduring legacy of fantastical story telling. Adults and children alike love his stories and everyone has a favourite.

On Roald Dahl Day, Class 5 explored the activities on the Roald Dahl website and produced some very thoughtful and creative work inspired by the characters and stories that he created.

Have your say on the big issue of the day – namely ‘Which is the greatest Roald Dahl story’?
