Year 5 are trialling learning spellings through a morphology approach before we look to change our spellings across the school. We still have the same spellings but we will be teaching how to break the words down into morphemes and how this helps remember the meanings of words.

In Maths , we've been deep diving into the building blocks of number! We moved beyond just multiples to explore factors —the numbers we multiply together to get another number. This led us naturally to the fascinating world of prime numbers , discussing what makes them so special and unique. In English , our creative momentum continued!
