This term we will be continuing with the topic of 'Change' I really hope you enjoyed your visit to the castle, everyone behaved so well and you were all a credit to the school. In Geography, we will be finding countries on a world map, naming and locating cities in the UK and identifying human and physical characteristics. We will be looking at how these countries have changed over the years. We will also be continuing to discuss change in Science but focussing on materials and how different materials are good for different purposes. In Maths we will be still working on multiplication and then fractions later in the term.  It would be useful if you could continue to work on your times tables and reading daily during the year which will also be supported by regular trips to the library.

World Book Day!

We had a lovely World Book Day in Year5. We did lots of different book activities including spending a reading session with the Reception class. 

Kinetic Adventure - School Trip

Today we have been on our school trip to Kinetic Adventure. We have had a wonderful day and the children were perfectly behaved! Well done Year 5, we were very proud about the way you represented our school. Here are a few pictures that we took during our visit. 

Our first adventure was talking about planet sizes and making them from playdough.

We then explored some scientific hands on learning.

After lunch we went into the experiment room and explored how wax crayons made a piece of folded paper unfold on water.

Finally we visited the 'Gravity Room'.

Roots to Food 

We were so lucky to have a great session from Roots to Food today. In groups of 5 we made Rogan Josh and took it in turns to slice,prepare and cook the food.

In English we have been focussing on suspense writing. Here are some of the ideas we had on how to create a 'Spooky' setting. 

We have also been practising the story by using actions to help us remember the text.

We were so lucky to have 'Road Safety' visit us at school this week. We had a discussion about how to stay safe and we also had the opportunity to practise outside!
