Welcome back after the Christmas break Year 5! This will be another exciting and eventful term, packed with so many fun things to learn about. Our topic this term is ‘New Horizons’. In English, we will be looking at action scenes so we will have lots of discussions about how we can portray movements in our writing. Our Science topic is ‘Earth and Space’ which I am sure you will all enjoy. We are lucky enough to have a school trip during this time which will be a great experience for you! In Art/DT we will be making Mayan masks which is linked to our History where we are studying the Mayan Civilisation. Don’t forget we will be continuing with swimming this term too so do not forget your swimming things every Monday! A very busy term for us all but full up with lots of great things to do and learn about.

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. 

Anti bullying Week - Odd sock day!

Lest We Forget

Year 5 Gallery 

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!
