Why do we need to be careful when browsing news stories and photographs online?

This week in Year 5, we have been continuing to learn about decimals and fractions in Maths, thinking carefully about ordering and rounding. In Literacy, we completed our Peppered Moth Fact Files as part of our Star Write. We were concentrating on formal tone, scientific language and formal fronted adverbials. 

In PSHE, we learnt about edited photographs and how easy it is to use apps to alter images. We spoke about how dangerous this can be and how we should always be mindful that not everything we see on the Internet is true. In the same lesson, we looked at fake news and how to spot false news articles. 

We are so excited to go on residential next week, and the children staying in school also have really exciting things to look forward to!
