This week in Dorset 5

Week beginning 8th June 2026

Dear parents and carers,

In maths, we have moved back onto decimals and so our getting our heads back around place value, which can be a tricky concept.

In English, we have written a short letter to a school in Sierra Leone, talking to them about what life is like in our school and asking some questions about their school. We have also just started looking at our text for this term PAX. So far all we know is it is about a fox- we wait excitedly to find out what is going to happen.

In science learning we conducted an experiment to find out if we could insulate our cups to make the water stay warmer for longer. Through some rigorous testing we worked out that Bubble wrap works better than tea towels and bin bags but that we also need to cover the top or all the heat escapes that way.

In History we have been looking at the Minoan's and Mycenaeans. We have created characters and described how they lived to see which had better lives.

In PE this week we braved being outside and only got a slight fall of rain. This allowed for us to play some fun games of Tennis catch.

Mr Borland
