Mathematical Language

This week in Maths we have been learning about positional and directional language. We started by using our observational skills to find the differences between pictures and objects.

Sports Journalist visit

This morning has been very exciting for Year 5. Gareth Walker visited our classroom and delivered a fantastic lesson, which the children loved. Gareth is a sports journalist, who has worked for The Daily Mirror for 20 years. He has reported on huge sporting events across the globe. During the lesson, we found out about the fascinating link between Rochdale and Fiji through Rugby. The children then produced some fabulous newspaper reports reporting on this.
