Year 5 12.9.25

In this week’s assembly, Year 5 discovered how democracy works — with a delicious twist! Pupils learned about the importance of having a voice and making fair decisions, then put their knowledge into practice by voting on the age-old question:

What is the best flavour of Haribo?

After lively debate, votes were cast, counted, and Tangfastics was crowned a worthy winner! Danny Parker

Mrs Bennett’s class explored the fascinating world of Roman Numerals. To put their learning into practice, pupils took part in an engaging “marketplace” activity. Acting as buyers and sellers, they exchanged goods and calculated amounts using Roman Numerals, applying their knowledge in a fun, hands-on way.
