Welcome to Class 10's webpage. Welcome to all the new year 5's, starting their journey in Upper Juniors! I hope that you are all pleased to be back as we delve into our new learning with brand new and exciting topics. 

Here you'll find information about what happens in class, what we've been learning and what we've been up to. It's worth keeping an eye on it from time to time to see what's been happening. 

RE

Our focus in RE changes on a four weekly basis.  Can you remember some of our focus scriptures and the Bible stories we have been using? Can you tell your parents what they are?

Our Advent Topics

Science - Animals and Living Things, Earth and Space, Forces, Light, Circuits and Materials.

History - Ongoing cycle: WW2, Early Islamic Civilisation, The Aztecs

Reading

Reading is so important for us to learn. We can find out about lots of exciting things. Whatever topic you enjoy whether it is: space, the Greeks or Great Britain, you can learn everything there is to know about it through your reading. 

Delve into a great story and be taken away to a different land! Stories also help our imagination and creativity. 

Please try to read at least 5 times a week to help set you up with the skills and knowledge to learn to your full potential!

Big Maths

In maths, we are using column methods for the four operations. Here are some examples:

Addition:

Always line the digits up using place value

Don't forget to add the carry overs

Always write the addition symbol so that you don't forget your calculation

Subtraction:

Always line the digits up using place value

Always write the subtraction symbol

If you cannot take one number from the other, borrow one from the next column.

Multiplication:

Always line the digits up using place value

Always ADD the carried numbers

When you are multiplying by 2d number, always put the place holder '0' to help you multiply by the tens digit.

If you are multiplying by 3d number , always put two place holder '0's to help you multiply by 100.

Division:

If there is a remainder, carry it over to the next column

Use your times table facts to help you divide each digit

Long Division:

Long division works by dealing with the largest column 1st - in the case below the 8 (800).

How many times does 4 go into 8? ... from the 4 times table ..2 x 4 = 8. Write the 2 above the 8 and the result, 8, is written below the 8.

Work out the remainder by subtracting 8 from 8, 8-8=0 Now bring the 5 down to make 05 the next number to divide into.

How many times does 4 go into 5? ... from the 4 times table ..1 x 4 = 4. Write the 1 above the 5 and the result, 4, is written below the 5.

Work out the remainder by subtracting 4 from 5, 5-4=1 Now bring the 6 down to make 16 the next number to divide into.

How many times does 4 go into 16? ... from the 4 times table ..4 x 4 = 16. Write the 4 above the 6 and the result, 16, is written below the 16.

Finally, subtract 16 from 16, 16-16=0, which means that there is no remainder.

The answer is 214 with no remainder.
