 This week you have surpassed yourselves...what amazing work! You worked on multiplication, learned about gladiators and Roman childhoods, went on a virtual vertebrate hunt in Mrs Kemp’s back garden, completed some amazing PE challenges, learned about being safe when going out and talked about vegetables in French! You were also brilliant in your live lessons, what wonderful discussions you have, even when the internet is acting up 🤪 Here is a sample of your work...can you find a piece you did? 

As part of their work in Science, Year 5 have been examining the work of Jane Goodall. She is a British scientist who has studied chimpanzees for many years.
