Spring 1 Week 1

First week of 2025 and as always it has been full of learning for Orca class. 

In English this half term we are using the story The Explorer by Katherine Rundell- it is an excellent book and so far - as we’re only four chapters in - it has been a huge hit with the class. 

In Maths year 6 are learning about ratios and in year 5 they are learning about multiplication including two digit by two digit multiplication. 

This half term we are examining Why do oceans matter? The children looked at oceans and how they are used, then using a world map labelled the different countries which Australia trade with. 

In Design Technology this half term the children are examining steady hand games.
