This week in Year 5 we have started our new story of the term 'The Mapmakers' by Tamzin merchant. The children have enjoyed listening to the story and acting out chapters 1 and 2. 

The children will be using this story to support their writing for the next few weeks.

In science, the children have begun to learn about Earth and Space. In a few weeks we will be going to Jodrell Bank to explore the large sattelite and telescope.

In topic, the children have started learning about maps. Over the next few weeks they will learn how to read maps, identify the 8 compass points and will take part in a orienteering session.

It has been a great start to the half term and the teachers are very excited to see how much information the children can remember at the end.
