This week, in Maths, year 5 have been learning about factors and creating factor bugs. They all now know that factors are numbers that can divide equally into another number without a remainder. They used Cuisenaire rods to find factors and were even allowed to write on the tables (naughty!). See if you can find all of the factors of 90. Clue: There are 12.

In Literacy, they have been learning about paragraphs. Adrian Mole certainly provided some entertainment with his family antics and misbehaving dog! They now know that a new paragraph begins when the subject, person, event, time, speaker or place changes. Have a go at identifying the themes in a paragraph.
