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 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 4/5 enjoyed the Skipping into Christmas festival this morning. Check out some of our skipping skills!
Year 5 enjoyed making their Christmas STEM projects, which we sold at our Christmas Fayre. Check out some of our Christmas tree decorations!
Year Five participated in some heartwarming community engagement today when we went to Monkton Methodist church hall to sing some festive songs to the Alzheimer’s Society. After visiting them last year, we were asked back to bring some Christmas cheer once again and we DEFINITELY managed to do that!
The children showed their fabulous, confident Oracy skills and made their teachers very proud as they sang and danced along with their audience with amazing enthusiasm! They mingled and chatted away to their new found friends and made some people very happy today! Well done Year Five you made Bede Burn tremendously proud!
Year 5 took great pride in presenting their DT creations, which encompassed all their learning in our Moving Mechanisms topic, to our visiting engineer, Craig Wilkinson.
Their remit was to invent something strong and stable, that would be useful around the home and that involved using a pneumatic system.
The children made use of their strong Oracy skills as they articulated the purpose of their invention to Craig and the rest of the class, explaining exactly how it should work.
Craig was very impressed by the range of ideas and, even though not all of them worked, the intent and overall effort made by everyone was congratulated.
