Broad and Balanced...<br />
Year 5<br />
Year 5 has had a great start to the new academic year. They have impressed us<br />
all with everything they have remembered from Year 4. We have been<br />
particularly impressed by their Maths skills and how confidently they can<br />
identify the place value of different digits in numbers. They have also been<br />
writing their own stories about a favourite teddy from home. There have been<br />
some amazing adventure stories and beautifully presented pieces of<br />
writing. Year 5 were also lucky enough to visit Geevor Tin Mine as a part of<br />
their first topic, ‘All about Cornwall’. The class had some fantastic questions for<br />
the ex-miners, and they enjoyed exploring the old buildings and equipment.<br />
We were amazed by how many of them could fit into one of the lifts that they<br />
used to travel down in. We also had some very talented workers, breaking<br />
down the rocks and panning for gold. Most of the class came back to school<br />
with a very full bag of gems and gold. Well done for having such a great start
