Y5 have enjoyed their last day before moving to the 'top of the shop' and Y6. After all the hard work and progress made, we've enjoyed a more leisurely day. Have a lovely summer, Y5!
Y5 rounded off our week with a transition session in Y6 and our summer cube jar activity afternoon. It was a lovely day to play outside.
Y5 thoroughly enjoyed our Ice pop Friday. We chose our favourite colour from staff. Whilst eating them, we sat and chatted in the sunshine. A perfect Friday!
Year 5 had an amazing visit to Beamish to exhibit our amazing crane in the annual STEAM competition. It managed to lift 300g! So, proud! We completed many workshops and visited the sights. Afterwards, we slept over in school! We threw in some pizza making, smores, steal the flag, the World Cup and more. What an amazing 24 hours! Thank you to Beamish, Dr Daryl our engineer and, course, the amazing staff who gave their time to make this possible.
Our Y5 friends led our celebration of the word, this week. They planned and delivered a beautiful service. They even included a liturgical dance that others were welcome to join in with.
Year 5 had a musical afternoon with Mr Millner and Madam Dryden!
We enjoyed learning new chords on our Ukulele and loved the backing track to our PE phrases session in French!
Dr Daryl Hickey, engineer, came to visit Y5. We discussed his engineering role in renewable energy. After this, he took questions from the children and discussed our crane designs. The visit made us think more about our design and how to balance the crane itself.
This week, Year 5 (and some Year 6 children) enjoyed reading, preparing and performing extracts of poetry from 'The Final Year'. They also had a go at writing and performing their own poems.
Year 5 enjoyed there 'Friendship and Teamwork' assembly. The message was clear. Our liturgical dance and song really embraced this idea - 'We all have a friend in Jesus'.
