This week, we focused on our non-fiction unit about The Ferocious Hydra and began taking notes on the Minotaur. The children engaged in drama activities, fully immersing themselves in the role of the mighty Minotaur, which they thoroughly enjoyed. They watched videos and gathered key facts as part of their research.

In gymnastics, we continued refining our skills, and the students had a great time progressing through the different exercises. In Geography, we conducted a research project centered around the question, "Does global warming impact natural disasters?" The children produced fantastic posters and conducted excellent research on the topic. Well done to all!

This week, we continued our Tag Rugby sessions, focusing on key skills such as agility, possession, interception, dodging, and passing. The children worked hard on improving their teamwork and understanding of the game. In gymnastics, we practiced various skills including balance, coordination, and controlled landings, with a focus on perfecting our routines using the vault and mats. In Computing, the children applied their coding knowledge to move a sprite through a maze. They used sequencing, loops, and debugging to refine their code, showing great persistence in problem-solving. To top off the week, Birch class won the attendance award and were treated to a delicious reward! Well done, everyone!

This week has been full of fantastic learning! In Maths, we have moved on to Addition and Subtraction, with children working hard to solve calculations using concrete, pictorial, and abstract approaches. In English, the children entered the independent writing phase, crafting their own warning tales. Our Gymnastics sessions continued, and we were inspired by Olympic athletes using the Vault and bars. In Art, we explored the work of Hokusai and began recreating his famous piece, "The Great Wave," which we'll be painting in our next session. Well done to all the children for their hard work!

We've had an incredible week in Year 5, packed with exciting learning experiences! In PE, the children made great progress in both gymnastics and tag rugby, working on accurate passing and balance. Our science lessons were a hit, especially with a hands-on experiment on separating materials—everyone was fully engaged and asked insightful questions to deepen their understanding. A highlight of the week was erupting a homemade volcano, bringing the fantastic homework projects to life. In RE, we continued our exploration of philosophers and Christianity. Well done to all the children for their hard work and enthusiasm! Keep it up!

This week, we continued our work on place value in Maths and delved into understanding a warning tale in English. In Music, we learned about Antonio Vivaldi and his famous composition, "The Four Seasons." The children were so engaged with the music that we even had our very own class conductor orchestrating it! In Geography, we explored natural disasters, focusing on earthquakes and discussing survival strategies. It’s been a fantastic week of learning, and the children have truly enjoyed themselves!

Welcome to Year 5!

This week, the children honed their gymnastics skills, focusing on practicing their balance while safely using equipment. They confidently used the wall bars, vault, and ropes, showing great care and enthusiasm. In Science, we began our unit on Materials and their Properties, where every student was actively engaged and curious. During our RE lessons, we explored the differences between philosophers and philosophy, sparking thoughtful discussions. We wrapped up the week with a series of teamwork games designed to develop their communication skills. Well done, everyone!

Welcome to Year 5! We hope you all had a wonderful summer and enjoyed the break. This week, the children have settled into their new classes beautifully and immersed themselves in learning about Africa as part of our 'Continents Week'. They showcased their creativity by using sewing and batik techniques to create African flags, learned traditional African dances, crafted tribal necklaces, and honed their computer skills to produce fact files. The children also practiced their geography skills, using atlases to label all the African countries, and painted stunning watercolour sunsets. Well done to all the children for their fantastic efforts!
