Year 5 Weekly Blog wb. 13th April 2026
Our Learning This Week Mathematics: On Monday, we completed our half-termly arithmetic paper . This was a fantastic way for the children to demonstrate their progress and fluency with number work over the last few weeks. Reading: On Tuesday, the children tackled the remainder of a SATS reading paper that we originally started at the beginning of the year. It was wonderful to see how much their confidence and comprehension skills have grown since they first saw these texts!
