Year 5 had great fun finding the volume using cubes in Maths this week!
In RE, Year 5 recounted the events of Holy Week and freeze framed them. We asked what was happening, how characters are feeling and what it means to them, linking it to our own beliefs and practice.
Year 5 loved recapping body parts in heads, shoulders, knees and toes during French. They also faced a challenge today, developing their Forehand shot during a very windy tennis session. Well done everyone!
Year 5 had a great time exploring our local coastline during our Sponsored walk. When we got back to school we used this to help us plan our own coastal field trips as part of our Geography topic!
Year 5 loved their DT project last half term- creating Electric guitars to play in their own band. We have reviewed our footage of the bands and images of our products this week to review our work.
Check out our band photographs!
Year 5 have been learning about Ash Wednesday this week and some children chose to receive ashes. In computing we have been completing our Database topics and using databases to answer questions and sort data effectively.
Year 5 loved ordering and comparing decimal numbers in our active maths session this week. We also enjoyed some time reading with our friends and listening to Sinbad the Sailor's voyages in the library
This week we worked with our Reading Buddies to answer tricky questions about a Human Life Cycle. The vocab was super tricky, but we worked as a team to explore this!
In Year 5 we looked at effective ways to boost our mood and look after our wellbeing this week. We looked at ways to connect, imagine, boost our self esteem and to to recharge.
Our favourite was connecting with others through short games of silly faces!
Year 5 have used their knowledge to code their own game of rock paper scissors using the Microbit
Year 5 loved learning to code the Microbits in Computing this week.
Y5 enjoyed a super trip to Newcastle Racecourse. We started a busy day with our BHA workbooks, followed by the weighing room, on the course looking at the fences and then the paddock! We learned a lot about the maths involved in all these areas. We were lucky enough to see the racehorses in the parade ring and we watched them race. Great experience for all. Thanks to Carrie and Toby for their support!
Year 5 had a visit from our Police friend. She talked to use about 'county lines' and the dangers of becoming involved with this. Our children approached this with great maturity and asked some very insightful questions. A super first week back!
