5 had a choice of golden time or a PE activity. Democracy ruled, PE was voted for and we played two games. The teamwork and determination was super. We have unearthed some potential netballers, volleyballers and basketballers of the future.
Wow, what a busy week in Year 5!
We've had a visit from the school nurse, used wax resistant techniques in Art and celebrated the end of our RE topic, in the presence of God.
Y5 had a fantastic trip to Newcastle Racecourse for a BHA Racing to School Maths Day. Toby and Carrie were incredible and taught us about the racing industry, we got to watch the horses' parade and race and we even met legendary presenter Derek Thompson. What a great day!
Year 5 enjoyed dressing up for our 'Spooky Disco'! There were some amazing costumes! We had great fun in the disco and danced our socks off!
Y5 had a visit from the police this week. We talked about road safety, the law and what we can do to keep ourselves safe - especially wearing a helmet on a bike or scooter.
Year 5 enjoyed a prayerful 'celebration of the word', this week. We followed the Lectio Divina format for the first time. We had several readers, shared our thoughts, and listened to a hymn whilst in the presence of God. It was a spiritual and calming experience.
Y5 enjoyed a vector drawing computing session using our iPads. We had great fun experimenting with shape, colour, outline and more. Our first task was to create a penguin and a parrot adopting specified techniques. After that, we had freedom to use these techniques to create our ultimate colourful parrots! Great fun!
Year 5 enjoyed Tai Chi with Professor Li. We had a great time learning some of the moves that linked to animals.
Ni Hao! This week, our new friend Sylvia taught us Mandarin! It was so exciting. We learnt a lot of new words and phrases. We can't wait for next week!
Year 5 have settled back into school life, well. The children are trying hard and have embraced their new curriculum. We have been into space in science and the Equator in geography; followed Alice and the White Rabbit in English; began place value up to and beyond one million and discussed our gifts and talents in RHE. Phew! Bring on next week!
