Year Five celebrated World Music Day by learning about the composer Gustav Holst. After learning about his career and inspiration we went on to perform his pieces using body percussion, percussion instruments and glockenspiels. The children really enjoyed the array of choices and collections.
Year 5 had another great Aspirations Day yesterday where we were thinking big and dreaming big. Check out some of our photos!
Last week, years 5 and 6 took part in The Quad Kids Athletic Tournament. Everyone participated in a variety of athletic activities: howler throwing, long jump, 75m sprint and a 600m run.
Year 5 had a great Forest School session on Friday afternoon. We learned about heterogeneous mixtures and homogeneous mixtures where we specifically focused on filtering, evaporating and sieving as part of our Science learning. Check out some of our photos!
Year 5 had an interactive workshop with Sophie from Jarrow Sea Cadets! We had lots of fun working together in small groups to construct our own catapults. This helped us develop some important transferable skills, such as resilience, teamwork and leadership – skills that are key to the role of a Sea Cadet. Well done year 5!
