Year 5 started their next Computing unit where we were using the Crumble Kits to develop our programming skills. We programmed the sparkle to change different colours and for different durations, we added in a switch and some of us even added in a buzzer. Check out some of our in action photos!
In Geography this week, year 5 have been looking at how the topography and soil type affect the location of different agricultural regions in the UK. To help us, we have been using ordnance survey maps – we had lots of fun working together in groups to locate these regions on the maps. Well done year 5!
In year 5 we have continued with our Netball unit in PE this week, focusing on pivoting when in possession of the ball. We also had a great discussion about fair play and making sure we make passes to everybody in the team using all of the space around us.
Year 5 participated in the Great British Bird Watch on Friday afternoon from our very own forest garden. The children were very excited, equipped with hats, coats, binoculars and clipboards to record any birds that visited our garden. The weather wasn’t very kind to us so there weren’t many birds around but that didn’t dampen our spirits and our findings were greatly appreciated.
This data is vital to the RSPB so they are aware of exactly how our feathered friends are faring across the country. Well done and thank youYear 5.
In PE, year 5 have been practicing ‘invasion’ games as part of their Netball topic, including bench-ball! This week, they focused on looking for open spaces to run into to catch the ball without being intercepted by the other team. Well done year 5 – great teamwork!
Year 5 enjoyed World Religion Day where we focussed our learning on Buddhism. We learned about the Eightfold Path before creating our own. Then, we created our own Mandalas to finish off the afternoon. Check out some of our photos!
Year 5 enjoyed World Composers Day. We learned about John Williams as our composer before composing our own music on the glockenspiels. Check out some of our photos!
Year 5 enjoyed discussing their books last week for Book Talk.
Year 5 started their Netball unit in P.E. on Wednesday afternoon. We started off by learning each of the Netball positions and their roles before practising our chest passes and pivoting skills. Check out some of our photos!
Year 5 had a great time at their Christmas party on Monday. They played games, danced a lot and, of course, there were lots of photo opportunities to pose in their party clothes! We are DEFINITELY full of festive spirit now!
